redesigning star dresses part 1!

part 2 and part 3

notes and individual pieces below <3

keep this in mind i love the og stardresses! i just wanted to challenge myself and i’m an inspiring fashion designer!!! my goal was to create dresses that reflect the spirits and u could easily match them up.

these were my initial sketches, i wanted every dress/outfit to have a different colour and silhouette to make them more recognisable.

aries ~

- pink was the obvious choice for a colour. I didn’t want to use any major black like in the og design because aries design is so light and bright!

- i really think the og stardress hair is lacking. A fun fluffy 80s hair adds to the whole sheep aesthetic and creates a different silhouette to other designs.

- the 80s hair also inspired a more 80s look with fluffy legwarmers and big hoop earrings.

- i also wanted to bring in those pink pompoms on the side of aries dress so i made them star shaped and put them in lucy’s hair

taurus ~

- why put her in a bikini if she’s a cowboy??? this haunts me everyday.

- I couldn’t put her in mainly black and white cos that’s virgo i comprised and landed on a brown.

- for inspiration it was pretty obvious to go with a cowboys and the wild west! i always disliked the one leg pants her og design has so i modified it to a cut out.

- her og design was a mix of the aquarius and scorpio one and it always didn’t stand out to me, so i think by exaggerating the cowboy aesthetic it stands out much more.

gemini ~

- her og design is actually one my favs. so i really only made minor changes

- the colours stood out against other dresses and were easily identified as gemini. the dual colour symmetrical dress is a great way to reflect the double spirit.

- Gemini is a pretty symbol spirit so to reflect them i used circular shapes and organic lines. i changed the head piece mainly because i struggled drawing it but i realised it made the design too top heavy anyways.

- i extended the dress width and length mainly for silhouette reasons (she wears so many skin tight dresses) as well as to give a nod to the dresses the alternate geminis wear.

cancer ~

- my issue with cancer star dress isn’t the dress itself. I actually love the dress in the manga. it’s the colour. WHY IS GREEN?!?

- if it weren’t for the symbol i wouldn’t be able to match this dress with cancers design, so it had to change.

- other than that there’s no major differences, the ribbon tie is meant to resemble scissors, i love the claw shape hair ties in the og design so i brought them back and i brought the stripes in cancers top to her bow.

leo ~

- i was inspired by beauty and the beast, in the movie the beast kinda looks like lion.

- i swapped the yellow and black in the og design since it has a pretty similar colour story to virgos dress. The og kinda gets lost next to leo since the black doesn’t have variation and leo is in a deep black too.

- i wanted to make her hair bigger like a lions mane and curled around her face.

I am in love with your version of ♓️ star dress ; do you have any more star dress redesigns ? If you don’t no worries XD

Hey! Sorry, I'm usually on mobile and I swear I never saw this ask in my notifs tab!

I was planning on saving these for a bigger post I have planned for Lucy, but since it’s been so long since I've posted, I'm happy to share some concepts now

Here’s what I got for Taurus and Aquarius

I'm a lot more confident in Taurus’ concept, Aquarius however is something I'm definitely still working on.

More details under the cut!

For Taurus specifically, his actual design and my redesign are very pro wrestler adjacent, so I tried mixing that in a touch with the cowpoke theme that I already quite liked about the original

I think for the most part, I’ll have her Star Dress forms retain a pink/red/white colour palette to show how the spirits are meshing with her person.

Aquarius is a notable exception. Not only do I just think the blues look better, given that she's meant to sacrifice herself to grant this power to Lucy, I imagine her soul is bound to the magic present, and so it's much more evocative of her palette.

I think having the silhouette of the dress, whether Lucy is on the ground or not, “float” is a good way to evoke that underwater feeling. I was also heavily referencing beta fish fins when thinking of the overall shape.

(Originals for reference)

hi I was wondering do you have any redesigns on star dress or take over forms ? Love to see what u come up with ^^

i have a few !! :3

not a big fan of yukino having star dresses but her pisces star dress is horrendous so i had to do something better for her 😭😭

i also wanna do more take over designs (specifically halphas bc i read up a bit on the demon and oh my god they fumbled w her halphas form SO BAD)

i do wanna focus on star dresses completely soon bc they’re all oversexualised to hell and back + i’ll admit some of the designs r super tacky

screencap color study. unfortunately my friend has gotten me into hsr and i haven’t been able to draw much else lol

[igneelsdaughter]

Decided to do a redesign for lucy’s taurus star dress because it kept annoying me that it had such wasted potential. Most of the star dresses are honestly really cute, it’s just the taurus one that bugged me. I kinda half-assed the design tho

Yukino Pisces Star Dress redesign

As you can probably see, I went with Pisces' color palette for this. The shirt tails move by themselves. They can't attack, but they can block attacks that Yukino doesn't see coming.

This is more for brawls/when Yukino is fighting hand to hand.

HI BITCHES!!! GUESS WHOS STILL ALIVE!!!

*cough cough* Anyway, enjoy this Nevada drawing I did on the Ipad, isn't he pretty? I love him, like Nevada is just so fun to draw and whatnot. Maybe one of these days I'll color this (doubtful but you never know) :D

Captain Maari on deck!

The friendly captain of the Phoenix Starcruiser, she works day and night, for both the passengers and the crew! Although she might have the qualities of a great leader, including dedication, selflessness, friendliness, and support of the crew, among others, there are some flaws associated with her positive traits, including the fact that due to her intelligence, she might mix up her knowledge until it's pointed out, or sometimes being too selfless, and not worrying about her own issues and body limits at times.

redesigning star dresses part 2!

part 1

notes and individuals are below!

virgo ~

- really wanted to step away from that sexy maid aesthetic. my goal was to mix maid with a princess silhouette to reference virgo’s nickname for lucy.

- so i added elements of cinderella’s look like the side fabrics, choker and longer dress.

- using just black is so boring so i brought in some pink and chose to instead use greys

- so many lucy dresses have pigtails so changing the hair also has a more practical element because it’s pulled away.

~ scorpio

- I actually love the og scorpio dress. It’s so different to all the other looks and so easy to distinguish that it’s scorpio.

- i wanted to play into a trackstar / athlete look just so it has an aesthetic that stands out. i also used shapes found in scorpios tail and neck frill in her armour and top.

- i absolutely love the new hair, i wanted it to resemble a scorpion tails! Also just was bored by the normal head band and u know what why not do a cutest bow.

~ sagittarius

- my least fav og dress is is sag. the colour, the lack of shade range and the outfit is just…. yer not cute.

- so i was inspired by more fantasy archers and sag’s colours are screaming cool earthy ranger.

- i think the final result much better resembles sag in the colours and aesthetic.

~ capricorn

- this luxus bad girl moment and i love it. The og one is pretty good but i wanted to fully push it more.

- there’s strands of hair coming out of her bun to resemble horns and belt to resemble a tail.

- the og design is too black so i went with a darker purple to stand out. I didn’t want virgo and capricorns to look like a matching set.

~ aquarius

- there was a lot of pressure to do aquarius well because it’s significant star dress, a fan favourite and my own star sign!

- i leaned more in the mermaid aesthetic by using more fin silhouettes and pearl detailing

- i wanted to make it more practical so a more supported bikini and mini skirt under the fin like fabric.

~ full set

i’m so super proud of these designs and i’ve actually seen an improvement in my art. Maybe in the future i’ll do a piece with all of them or do yukinos dresses so lmk if ur into that.

if ur looked this far ty so much for reading all my notes xxx
