#I also want the cape/train to stay but I dunno How to incorporate it with whatever the fuck the top half of the outfit turns out to be

I’ve been staring at these (and a third triple line up that I literally only have the poses for) for like a few months so have some WIPs of Nik in fancy wear and my phantom rogue Lucian’s general get up (kindofsorta I’m playing with ideas still)

I keep waffling on Nik’s outfit because I want it to be thinner and more flowing, but can’t get it in that nice mid ground of feminine but not straight up a dress, ya feel?

K so here’s a lil sketch of a possible shippuden Sakura, w/ some alternate hairstyles. I dunno how well you can read my handwriting lol. So I was thinking, since she’s taijutsu heavy, that (even though it could possibly be grabbed) her long unzipped hood would work as a good feint/distraction to attacks and would help blur her movement in close combat and mid range (think matadors flapping that red cape to taunt/confuse bulls). I also thought she could store/sew tags/weights/ninja wire in the underside of it for storage/training/defence purposes. I debated for a hot minute how to incorporate the chunin vest, then I thought that not wearing would probably be the only little rebellion she would dare after promotion (also, aside from Lee, her chunin peers don’t wear it either). And when you mentioned her haircut in your tags, I sorta went hog wild. And of fucking course she keeps the hood.

Anyway, this was fun, and really got me back into the TKAB!Sakura mindset. Tell me if I got anything right!

Discoabc: AAAAAAAAAA!!! I love this design so much omfg the jacket is such a nice touch too!!!!! Esp the bit about the matador’s confusing bulls - I SEE WHAT U DID THERE!!!!

And her hair alskdjslfk HONESTLY..,,,u could be further off hair wise. U also definitely got right that the hood is STAYING no matter what design I give her.

Honestly,,..ur design will probably end up more interesting than the design I end up giving her sjkdhkfg (damn u Sakura and ur Practical Fashion Sense I want Flair Damn It)
