BTW 006. Xiaoye Art WIP!
🕑 Added 2025-09-20 02:00:07 +0000 UTCRechenbaer is hard at work on a character illustration of Xiaoye. She always puts so much thought into her illustrations. Here's her process so far!
First, thumbnails of composition and different hair and outfit options.
We narrowed it down to two hair, dress and pose combinations.
We decided on number 2!
Then she played with different color options.
At first she came up with the first three, but I asked if we could maybe work in some blue-green/teal/turquoise coloring to perhaps link to the Jade Leaf Princess. So, she came up with option 4, which is what we're going with!
I couldn't decide if the hair should be black or dark brown, so I've left it in her capable hands.
What do you think, Fellow Daoists?

Also, before knowing what the team landed on, I made similar choices, but that is probably coincidence, and no one should ask me for reliable opinions on this cool stuff.

It’s so cool to see this kind of process unfurl, especially if you just come from a world where you rarely get to bounce up against artists.

I should have asked you for an opinion first! You know me and my color-confusion haha.

Love the artwork, Rechenbaer has captured this character very well! I definitely prefer the darker/black hair.
