Ellianora, development

The designs has been made by Katie o’Kane. You may find more of her work on instagram, and you may support her on Patreon.

At first, there has been quite some brainstorming about the head. Several types and hairstyles from what I was thinking for this character and here is the result. Katie outdid herself, offering me a lot more than I expected, letting me select the perfect head.

And despite that fact, I asked for some changes. A little thing, probably, but that made quite a change if I may, that was more adequate to her character.

After that, there was quite some work on the main outfit. I sincerely apologize to Katie, I was quite stubborn on this part, thinking already about the story and not letting her free to invent something creative.

As you may see, I had quite the choice. I am really fond of some of them, but my stubborn ass had an idea in mind and wouldn’t even consider something else.
Some outfits has been developed despite that, creating some really impressive designs.
For the mask that you may see, there has been quite some research too. Basically, I wanted a wooden mask based on Celtic inspiration.
The mask is made of willow wood, and the markings are made from ivy which grew on it.
