First of all, sorry if the picture looks a little messy. The final editing I did to her design I did on paintSAI because I was using my laptop and it just didn't come out as neat as when I use photoshop and sadtwfsafsa technology issues

So this was also for my 3D animation class. I just had a colored reference of the character, full body, ect. Just to introduce the character.

After bouncing ideas off of the teacher and classmates, I ended up changing a few things about her.
I made her an ACTUAL kimono with an Obi and not just some weird kimono-like dress that I always draw character in that have something like an obi but being used as a belt and akjfghas dyeah forget that
Parts of the kimono are gray and black striped, which looks really cool. before it was like... squares? idk.
The Kimono used to be gray, but now it's white. Looks a lot more interesting. As a bonus, the teacher said "I think that white represents death in some Asian cultures". Well I hope he's right because that works perfectly.
I designed an actual Obi!! It's cute and pink and (spotted or flowery depending on the picture) which fits her cheery personality perfectly!!
Speaking of Obi and death, the teacher wanted me to add a little something into her character that represents death or a reaper somehow (because Oni is a "ferryman", like Charon in Greek mythology who takes the deceased people onto "the other side") ... so I added a little skull in the back? Isn't it adorable?? ((It's so adorable)).
Last but not least... REALLY long sleeves?Eh, that's only for sake of the model. In her normal design I might get ride of it, it's just that in animation it's good to have your character design NOT 100% SYMMETRICAL because then it seems kind of boring. But then again kimono sleeve paws are cute.

(which is a totally awesome picture)
((and I had to keep re-drawing the kimono because RIN YOU ARE CRAZY I am not putting my 10-year old bby (well kind of) into a dress that tiny))
