Project Danielle

Remember that one post I made not too long ago where I discussed about some character revisions I was working on, and that I had a lot of trouble coming up with a satisfying new look for Danielle? Y'know, this post?

Welp, I said I'll return to that subject when I finally have a good design and I finally ended up with five good designs to play around with! And of course, as you may see along with the five working designs, I humorously called this task "Project Danielle."
I kid you not, I thought this whole redesigning process for this one character would have been done long ago.

The first picture show her current attire look along with two new styles and the second image is the next three new styles.

I gathered a ton of references for what I wanted with Danielle, which primarily came from anime since it happens to capture that cute and shy look very well, and I mean very well.
Like seriously, look at this:

So basically, I've gathered a ton of anime references like this to try to be able to capture that same look to Danielle, which to be honest, I really only needed them to try to find the right attire. It did go as far to open the possibility to change her hairstyle, but that's a totally different thing.

Now that I have enough concepts to work with here, I'm going to try to pick out some aspects about what I like and try to somehow combine them to create the final attire look for Danielle. And of course, I'll report it back once it's done.
