Mitzi's costume design for "Ingenue", and some of the ~1919-1921 catalog fashions that inspired it. Everything is always in transition fashion-wise, but it's interesting to see the very defining rectangular shape of the 1920s start to emerge from post-Edwardian/WWI era style. (The contrast in how comparatively modern things looked by the latter part of the 20s is pretty striking.)
Design by me and L. Frostad, who did the finalized character sheet!

Taking advantage of the fact that I'm posting old shark stories. I remembered this one too.
They're the only traces I have of a story about a lonely little shark named Sniff and Snouphia, his fairy companion, trying to piece together the puzzle of their lost origins. 🦈✨
I remember I created it from a sketch I made to express my angry after a power blackout caused me to lose an artwork on the computer.
He was inspired by myself, a personification of my old nickname "Astral Requin", the little fairy was an extension of Tyna, a shark plush, my loyal companion.
Little Sniff is just a magic short shark who is always hungry and suffering from emotional anxiety ~ 🦈✨

It reminds me of the golden age of DeviantArt where I started my artistic journey on the internet, Sniff's first art exploring ruins received a “DD” (Daily Deviant, I think) in 2017, remember how significant it was to win that back then? Your artwork suddenly received a wave of attention! Now it doesn't mean anything anymore.
I think Usopp's creative heart would manifest in more textiles, colors, patterns, and textures in her wardrobe; therefore, I've got her all dolled up in different sashes and head-scarves and bandanas. Also, she makes her own earrings (and they double as emergency projectiles for her sling shot).
For her main fit, I wanted the vibe of the utilitarian overalls but with a fantasy archer fairy type twist. Idk the strappy corset look reminds me of the Tontattas somehow.
I also went with locs for her because my heart belongs to Jacob Romero Gibson from OPLA.
Oh!! And I designed her glasses!! I wanted to do something different from the canon goggles and I thought cat-eye sunglasses would fit her well.
Also, I intend to keep the names the same so she's Usopp BUT if I was fully committing to the bit, I'd change her name to Usanchina... maybe. LOL
Put in the replies who you want to see join girl piece next!! I'll make another poll if I get a few choices.
