I have the Wish art book, so I was able to find out their name!! The artist is Hannah Leung, and she's also the artist behind what's probably my absolute favorite Star concept piece

Shout out to this one concept artist that was just throwing some amazing ideas for Star left and right, you can tell they were really into it.
Don’t know their name unfortunately but you can find these screenshots on the Wish: Behind The Scenes video, whoever this artist is I hope Disney hear them out next time
Been waiting for a bit to show this off on here. Got my finalized designs for Asha done for my big wish rewrite project!
One thing I want to make clear in this project is that I have no qualms with the creatives who worked on Wish. They put their all into trying to make this movie as good as it could be with the time, material, and skills they had. My qualms are with the suits who pushed them to turn this movie into an advertisement for Disney rather than a celebration of their legacy. That's why I tried to use as much of the original concept art of the film as possible when making this designs for the video essay!
For Asha, I had a lot of work ahead of me considering my decision to make her Magnifico and Amaya's daughter. Mostly designing both proper princess attire that matches her parents, and her own outfit to make her stand out more as an individual.
I know a lot of people enjoy her warmer colorscheme from her early concepts, but I decided to keep her purples from the original film. With my Starboy's design being primarily gold, it meant the two of them would have complementary color schemes. And considering I'm going with the ever popular decision to make them romantically involved in my rewrite, I think the complementary colorschemes work perfectly in that regard! I also kept her braids. While they don't serve the same purpose as the design choice does in the original movie(showing off Asha's amazigh heritage with her intricately braided hair), I think it looks nice regardless! I just wish the movie didn't keep it magnetized to her shoulder like they were trying to emulate Elsa.
Most of my other design notes are in the images themselves as annotations, so feel free to give them a read if you're curious about some of these decisions!
I'll post Starboy soon, I've just gotta refine some things on his little reference before I do.
