Hello everyone! I’d like to present two new freshly made outfits for my favorite girlie Lilly lotus!
Each one more appropriate to her personality and Is frankly more thought through and complimentary to her character!
I wanted to create a more polished look for her, and to make it easier for me in the long run for future plans and such. And I’ll be doing so for more character aswell!
If you’d like to know more about the process and the details you are more then welcomed to read my hefty analysis :
Explanation for the main outfit
The doodle that came before the final rendition:
As for this one, I wanted to point out some of the details and why I chose them. In some earlier drawings I was getting quite stuck on trying to draw her jacket/vest, Along side the sleeves feeling out of place and In general it being an outfit solely from the game that I still think can’t really capture what I’m going for just as right. So a redesign was a must!
I’m going to go into a few details:
- The main garment is a re-purposed sort of lounge wear she tailored to fit her needs more conveniently. A square neckline which is breathable and flattering. Out of the way sleeves for fighting/Ship maintenance. Along side some bell flared comfy pants which aren’t too long so we don’t trip on the fabric! and a useful unique purple sash (That she got as a gift!)
- She ties the sash in a big big bow to her side creating a more distinct silhouette with the flower draping lower skirt. Matching the upper area’s laces! It’s all very romantic, Playful and dynamic!
- She braids her hair from the left side to the back center to get hair out of the way, But we still keeping things pretty. So she tying a flower at the end!
- Ballet flats might not be the most practical for some. But when you need to empty the shoe from water all the time and you tend to be quick on your feet. Might as well just wear them fully on.

Explanation for the winter outfit

Now for the winter outfit, I thought I’d lean more to her more calm and elegant side. As she’s a water + ice mage at the moment. So I wanted to make it a bit more structured . Long. Opulent. rich and magical. To more extenuate her magician side then the pirate inspired fit from the warmer weather!
A few details:
- The Original sleeves were re added to this outfit since I felt they fit better to the idea, and context of the cold environment. Super pretty!
- I knew that I wanted to cape to be deep royale blue from the start. Its very balanced and opaque. later on even added the fluffy rim to it just to add more drama and volumes, It’s super fluffy!
- A regular brown corset just to contrast all the blues, make it all more balanced and add a core and some weight to the outfit. Since It’s somewhat of a middle ground and there’s a lot of fabric going on + They match the boots and the mittens! Over all very cozy!
