Hello, everyone! It's good to see you again. Today, I'm here to show you through the process of creating the coord featuring in chapter 48; the rose floret premium rare.
Rose herself is an interesting character for me to write, for reasons those who are caught up have likely figured out. The best way to sum her up in a word is "proud". Proud to the point of not only starting an entire idol track but also starting her own brand, something which out of the main cast, only Rina has done.
For her brand, I've decided to go with the Sun as a major theme. Not only for thematic reasons (look at the title of the series lmao) but also because of the fire imagery. In particular, for this coord, I decided to focus on a phoenix. She's risen from the ashes and now shined brighter than ever (or... does she?). Due to this, she has a warmer colour palette compared to most sexy type idols, which I personally think is extremely funny considering how cold she is.

As for designing the coord, this eas the original basic concept. For a Western concept, I ended up going for a very Eastern shape, being a kimono. If I'm totally honest, I think it's mainly because new years and every gacha game ever was releasing kimono cards. But I think it surprisingly fits.
Originally, there was going to be a fire pattern on the coord. I thought it would work but... in the end, it ended up a little tacky.
A friend on the discord suggested adding ribbons for the type colour. I ended up doing a gradient pink (cute) -> yellow (pop) -> blue (cool) with purple (sexy) at the back. I think it really brings everything together!

These were the original basic colours. I ended up changing the leg accessories which works well in my opinion. I also gave the skirt a fiery colour scheme to make up for the removal of the flames.
However, I wasn't happy with the colours. They looked fine on my laptop but on my phone they didn't look great. So, it was time to mess around a bit.

Here's what I ended up with! I added a lot of glitter and flowery patterns on the design to finish it up.
I believe this image shows the difference between PRs and FPRs quite nicely. Basically, FPRs have a lot of flower decorations on them.
As for why some flowers are buds and why some parts changed to white... you'll see ;)
