Ehhh fuck it I'll post this one too -- I wanted to color it first, but. I'm actually split on redoing Alfonse's outfit completely, or at least making adjustments.

Like, in my head, I think I was doing two separate things between the Askr siblings and it just doesn't feel cohesive to me now.

What, you ask? Well, the first thought behind this, was this is a visit. So, Sharena is straight up wearing Moe's old clothes it never could seem to let go of. I think I got mixed up around Alfonse, though. Literally half and half. He's wearing some of Moe's clothes (esp the flannel, green, band merch), but the idea here is they did have to go out and get stuff that actually fits right.

Which... works. It does work. But I think in the back of my head I was also wanting to design an outfit that's more AU coded. Going from argyle sweater vest ass to mmmmaybe trying to develop his own sense of style. Which kind of directly clashes w the idea that he's wearing some of Moe's clothes. But also. So. SO BADLY. ESP IN THIS CONTEXT. I would LOVE for Moe to have direct influence in the process of that. Another detail you don't even get to see here is Alfonse is wearing a studded belt. Courtesy of Moe.

Lack of direction too many ideas at once. Maybe if it's an AU, the dress could have been a hand-me-down? If you like it, and it fits. You can have it. If you want... (Moe completely dodging just how deeply meaningful this gesture is when doing this). But also, could go REALLY crazy if Moe (previous life) had fashion taste that was close enough to Sharena's that, like. At different points of time, each ended up picking out the same dress. It's such a funny line to balance, actually. Because despite all the parallels I may draw between them, Moe was NEVER what Peony was, to Sharena. Not even close.

Idk idk there's a possibility that I'll get too frustrated w all the details not matching up here that I scrap it completely. Just know that the dress Sharena is wearing is pink and white. Very Princess Peach core. The style of it, though... it's pretty close to something else... a certain Something Else... just enough to scare ya. Which is ALSO WHY this might work better as a visit and unique psychological damage for Alfonse but I DIGRESS. WHAT YHE FUCK EVER. TOO MUCH GOING ON HERE JUST THROW IT ALL OUT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

#absolutely like after troubleshooting rubber ducking like. 99% close to just scrapping it. SAD!#too much going on. also maybe redundant on the mani nod? bc. moe held on to that one too.#you better BELIEVE it could not let go of that one.#so maybe it does work better as like. a stylistic similarity that raises an eyebrow.#or at very least deals ten points psychic damage to alfonse.#the important thing about moe is that it didn't start presenting super femme until it was 15.#which. the lore about alfonse mistaking mani to be 15. and moe placing mani at 19 (catastrophic egg cracking event)#something is happening here.#LIKE. IT ALL CONNECTS. SOMEHOW. IT ALL CONNECTS.#idk idk all i know is that i've been dying to draw sharena in that dress in particular bc it is one i actually own #but it. may not be meant to be. at least here. at least now.#I'M TOO FRUSTRATED. W THE DETAILS. ESP CAUSE IF I WENT INTO THIS DESIGNING AN AU OUTFIT #for alfonse SPECIFICALLY. this is the VERY first draft i'd probably scrap and do a million other concepts for.#UGH. i'm just too autistic about it.#swagever....#fe alfonse #sharena #moe tag #my art #moe lore #bc of. the lore is here. there is lore here.#black turtleneck underneath the flannel thumb cutouts on the sleeves. btw. on alfonse there.#form fitting strikes a convoluted balance between modest/formal emo/slutty ect ect ect #if you. even care.
