Yim belongs to a Fae-Dragon court called The Cosmic Deep, which is all space, entropy, and eldritch horror. I really wanted to convey the power and cosmic horror of Yim&#8217;s new form, which was done by adding galaxy print! The second image are two of my colored concept drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I lengthened their hair, made it unclear where some of the clothing seams were, and added this star map to their back, as well as a rip to outer space in their chest. The belt thing is actually a mouth. I experimented with giving Yim a freakier mouth biology but decided against it because of ease of drawing. Looking back, I think I want to add more mouths where the stitching is on the leftmost design of image 2. It would really up the creepiness factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually showed image 2 to my friends before I posted it. They preferred the design where Yim has a crop top. I do enjoy the concept of Yim exposing skin in this form. Yim normally stays covered, so revealing skin would convey a sense of wrongness inherent to this forceful transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is some spoilers for the later parts of Yim&#8217;s story, but I can&#8217;t help it, designing this was a lot of fun.
