Paint Tool SAI
My GOD it's finally done! Aydee, you didn't make this easy for me so fuck you. (affectionately) Almost a month going back and forth about all kinds of stuff.
First there was the leg war. Aydee already had a lot of body mods when they joined the Mayjin Operative so Nicole's primary task was just replacing the mass produced trash with her own handwork. But Aydee didn't want boring (=normal) legs, something I discovered halfway through making the ref image. So it took a lot of experimenting and talking with characters to find out the kind of legs Aydee actually ended up with. Originally they wanted to be able to swap between multiple pairs, but understandably Nicole wasn't fond of the idea that her tech could be just unplugged and stolen at will. (among many other issues relating to removable cybernetics)
And then it was the clothes. Aydee. Baby. PICK AN OUTFIT. She just wouldn't. I know the uniform isn't their thing, that was clear from early on. I think Ay just wears whatever they feel like wearing, sometimes intentionally gaudy or impractical to spark a reaction. I got her into something decent for the ref at least.
The uniform design got an update but is still missing the jacket, which I hope to get done soon. Boots are designed but Aydee just doesn't wear them ever. I'll post the uniform update as its own thing once it's finished.
