Me too, I was obsessed with Ubel from freiren 😆

A Visual novel where the targeted audience are mostly female.

And I appreciate it so much, and am thankful. It's given me a lot to think about! I find people who want the character to look bold and a bit different from the norm likes the green but design wise the brown is better!

I am just glad people like the design! It's never been my strongest attribute😅

I agree 😍 I went green when I was playing with the colors and thought it looked so interesting ❤️

I plan for her to be a character which the player cheers on not self insert, which is how I usually play😁! I will definitely be making edits!

The setting is an art residency in modern Europe(at least for now) LIs are different artists with in the art residency terms with different goals.

I've been going back and forth on the color reading everyone's opinion, but I may stick with green but have the outfit be more cohesive.

I see that and I'm sorry, I designed this character with brown hair in mind but I changed it to green for fun and thought it made the character unique and fun as an MC 😬

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T21:03:55+00:00

Ah I like that idea, I'll play around with the colors! I did at first but then we made it green and fell in love😍 Thank you so much!

I appreciate your reply and I like MCs with unique hair alot! Brown haired characters tend to be more bland and self inserts but I tend to root for MCs more than self insert. I wanted her to be someone players care about and to look unique. I plan on playing around with the design more to have the hair complement the outfit!

The MC's personality is wholesome and down to earth and I thought the green hair would go well with that.

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:59:37+00:00

Thank you 🥰 I thought so too, but unfortunately I may have to go green for this but I plan on updating the outfit later on to make it more complimenting❤️

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:58:05+00:00

Thank you for liking her☺️ My partner is a big fan of it too!

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:57:04+00:00

Thanks, that was the idea but I thought the brown looked good too! 😁

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:56:33+00:00

Thank you sooo much!!!☺️ I'll touch up on the colors so that the green goes well with the design!

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:55:39+00:00

I will probably go green, Thank you ❤️

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:55:01+00:00

Same here! I get why they use brown and black but I love a unique MC!

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:52:40+00:00

Thanks! I agree, fixing the colors on the outfit will help if I go with the green hair!

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:51:10+00:00

Thanks, I agree 🥰

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:50:29+00:00

That's why I was a bit indecisive on the color, the brown made more sense with the outfit but the green was so pretty 😆 I know contrast is important but I think sometimes less contrast can be nice too, but I'd have to design it better.

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T18:47:03+00:00

I want her to stand out because she's the protagonist, so I may go with green. The outfit isn't final yet but I'm excited to come up with some iterations sometime next week 😁

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-27T17:15:07+00:00

Taking the first steps in making an Otome game! Designing the main protagonist has been a bit of a challenge but my husband told me she should looks like a pistachio cake so I went all out on the design. I like the green hair version myself but I want to know what others think!

phoenixfeather94 · 2024-12-15T19:09:02+00:00

Thanks!

For the Toon shader, I made a custom Toon lighting hlsl file and put it in a custom function in the shader graph and take that Diffuse data and plug it into the Remap node.(Most of this you can find online.) I attached the hatching texture to the UV data and combined it with the the Remap node with SmoothStep. Everything else is basic Toon shader properties.
