Hello once again! Today I'm going to run you through the design process for the jasmine floret premium rare, which debuted in phase 52.
The concept of this coord, if you couldn't tell from the chapter itself, is royalty. Or more specifically, one to make Rina appear as a Queen. In to order to achieve this, I had a smaller reliance on ribbons and pinks in comparison to what I would usually use for Crystal Ribbon's coords. I don't know if I fully achieved the mature aesthetic but I sure did try!
Here was my first sketch. Right off the bat I already wasn't satisfied. I've never been the best at complex designs but even then this felt too simple. Not to mention, I don't think it really carried the theme of the chapter all that well.
So, I made some slight adjustments. I replaced the ribbon with beads and turned the heard upside down. I then gave her two layers of frill on her skirt, along with giving her gloves to increase the regal feel. I gave an elegant choker and added more beads into her hair.
I'll admit, this coord gave me troubles with the colour scheme. I wanted something elegant and feminine, but not 'little-girl' esque. I definitely wanted to stick with a lighter shade of blue with a 'white' sub, but I thiught this would detract from her coord not being fully bloomed, as ine of the main telling points is the extra white.
So, I left it for a day or two and came back with fresh eyes.
This was my next progress check for colours. It was pretty but the colours didn't quite work. The skirt looked a bit tacky too...So, I readjusted the colours and replaced the hearts in the skirt with doilies.
This was the final result. The end result's colours go a lot nicer and feels more refined imo. There's less 'unbloomed' aspects than Sachiko's, with less of a difference in colour and only two buds. I suppose that's what happens when you're top idol~☆
