WOO! Finished another design!

Meet Kyrah, a small town engineer and cutie pie who wants to make a difference in a crazy world while still having some fun along the way.

I actually REALLY struggled with her despite her being only human rather than the more etherial/celestial characters that I've made for this same universe this kiddo was still quite the challenge. Her hair was pure HELL putting together a half shaved head with a mohawk in the middle that is ALSO an afro was just- AAAUUUUUGHHHH!!!

I also had a HECK of a time with her outfit. While piecing her together I figured out I wanted to give her the colors of purple, yellow and green to go with the 80's theme I was asked to keep in mind when making her. The more I drew the more I was able to figure out what would look good on her eventually coming up with her final sweater suspender combo.

Like with most character designs you see, I came up with a couple details for her on accident turning oil splotches that were going to be on her face into vitiligo and dying her hair pink on the ends to go with her green accents of the main outfit and her glasses. The green on her jacket is also meant to be the same material as reflector belts as another character I'm working on wants her to be safe and sound.

I also snuck some other foreshadowing in her character design for another form she takes later in the story...

Lemme know if there's anything I could improve on or just if you like these designs cause I'm having a BLAST working on these and can feel my skills skyrocketing with my requests and critiques taking me WAY out of my comfort zone in ways I wasn't expecting but am really enjoying.

(thank you to my bf for being so creative and pushing me towards improvement ILY hon~)
