Rosalina (Concept Art)
Added 2023-04-26 23:07:28 +0000 UTCSome concept art for Rosalina to test her general design beats! I was originally gonna post her alongside Pauline, but I ultimately decided that I could just post her earlier. uwu I have plans on doing these simply expression/headshot studies for each of the main characters of the AU, especially since I now have a general idea of how I'm gonna be telling the stories (in the form of bite-sized comics and "storybook" series).
At any rate: Rosalina! I really like her base design, as I do for all the characters honestly. But I also wanted to try and make her look far less like Peach than she does in game, so I played with her facial features a little bit.
I wanted her to look visually older than either Peach or Daisy; physically around the same age as Pauline, even if she herself is thousands and thousands of years old. Given my headcanon around her, I was hoping to make her look a little... tired. Being an immortal goddess comes with many pitfalls, one of which is her being kinda lonely, and I was hoping to convey that in her design. She's sweet as she can be, but there's always some sort of longing about her, if that makes sense.
Good thing she makes friends this time! ;w;
Anyway, I'm not terribly sure about her hair overall, and her side profile gave me so much trouble, but I think it's in a place I can accept it at least. So ye! Hope you enjoy the art! More to come soon! :>
