Hi, I'm just dropping here, to tell you, that your drawings are amazing!!! I love your style and designs you did for Jimmy and Lizzy 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸

No pressure, but you said that Lizzy's design isn't final, and I wanted to ask can you show your sketches (if you have them) of other variants? I'm just really interested to see the way you think and develop your designs. It's okay if not, we just love your giant wife design uωu

Have a good day/night!! 🌺🌸🌺

aww thank you :D and just for you sure ;P lemme just go find em

(they're not as polished as the jimmy ones though, I was still intending to come back n do more lol)

To anyone else interested, I might do a whole big explanation thing below

SO, Lizzie.

Admittedly I haven't watched her videos yet, so this is mostly vibes, but I kinda wanted to do a more nonhuman design for her even compared to jimmy, considering she had a whole remembering being the daughter of a deep god/sea monster reversion thing going on, especially as the transformation seems to be triggered by prolonged exposure to land.

Which, considering Jimmy's empire is more marsh/semi aquatic than hers, I think he probably has a more human appearance than her now, though his aquatic features never quite faded in the first place (kinda ironic considering she's the amphibian and hes a fish lol. perhaps he's actually a mudskipper? ;P also means potential full on mer Jimmy)

which leads me to my physical design for Lizz. its not quite so obvious in the other pic, but I like the idea of slightly more axolotl-y proportions: slightly lower hips, longer torso (was not taking any insp from zelda's zora ;P) less defined bone structure and more rounded features in the face, and really framed by her gills. body structure-wise she probably swims more by her tail then classic strokes?

You can also see the other colour palette I tested here (blue axolotl and what-not) until I decided in the end I liked an overall pink scheme, what with the contrast to her hands and such and more natural continuity to her hair colouration.

As for outfit design, I'll be honest in saying my first thought was just 'try and draw a pretty dress,' secondly for a character constantly on the move and frequently swimming.Given more time to think about it, I think I'd like to try some classical greek styles; her empire gives me almost Atlantis-esque vibes, and her skins p toga like.

for now I liked the idea of a a lot of a crown of shells, gauzy, flowing fabric, maybe some tearing to match her skin, and a lot of jewelry for her out of coral, shells, pearls, and other sea themed pretty objects. Considering her main business was initially prismarine, I think I'd also like to try and work that in somehow too? From there it was just testing concepts as design ideas sprung.

So here you go if you made it this far, the Lizzie designs so far, and potentially more in future :P
