Update: Finished, now has dialogue in the after panel.

Colored ashley and made a background, which is based on the scene when you meet lusamine and nihilego for the first time in the alola games.

Lineart done

After joining the streets with Team Skull, now it's time for Ashley to become a proper employee by joining Team- I mean The Aether Foundation, totally different than the other evil teams.

This design is based on what the Aether Foundation said they did when first meeting them, researching pokemon, caring for them, helping with conserving species and such. You know care taking stuff.

So I wanted to give them some nurse vibes, especially the more vintage style nurse outfits got my attention due to them being a bit more fem than modern ones. The little cowl or cape around their shoulders is directly from one such vintage outfit. Which Wicke also seems to have, so maybe her cape was also based on old nurse uniforms? Speaking of Wicke, she has great boots, so ashley got a pair as well althought with some higher platforms ;p

A little bit of like fantasy rpg priestess healer vibes also got into the design. Which let to me giving them a beret in the first draft. The beret is also meant to be a more fem version of the usual flat caps the grunt- ... aether employees wear.

In the second versions I increased the size of the wig for the commissioner and during that got the idea of ashley maybe wearing a nurse cap, but with the aether logo, since other wise the grunts dont really wear the logo. I also thought the hair could maybe become heart shaped? Hearts, healing, nurses, it could fit the theme.

The design we settled on in the end is first on in this post, a big updo, but not in the heart shape, with both the beret and nurse cap on.
