have you ever talked about the origins of your sona/her design inspirations before? ive always really loved her design and i like hearing about how nice character designs come to be
here is the full tale
she started off as a mere picrew years ago
and then people drew fanart of that design whenever i started streaming (like this retro mimi model @catastrothy made)
and then at some point i thought "hm wouldn't it be cool if i paid an artist to make her design better" and then i approached noted good local artist @cnmchn and we went back and forth on some stuff and She were born proper
here is some other behind the scenez
hair accessories were considered at one point but then we thought of the ミ earrings and i just colored in one of her streaks black lmao
final design ended up using a combination of outfit elements from our two examples, rip to alt universe skirt spats and kneesocks short braid loose hoodie long shirt ribs mimi (she will be missed) (i should draw that sometime)
anyways thats all. thats da mimi roundup. sure hope read mores function on this site
edit: i forgot to mention design inspirations.
uh. riamu failgirl, kumbhira granblue, we almost stole astolfo's haircut sans hair vents (though I think it was actually edward elric who made me think 'braid'), vampy granblue.
as for the tenets of her design i just wanted a cute, colorful, energetic, annoying, smug, punchable little beast to match my vibe. her fashion sense is like the complete opposite of mine tho lmao this little freak dresses in this skimpy summery crop top and short shorts getup and shit meanwhile i'm a jeans-all-year and longsleeves/hoodie at all times kinda bitch. at least she still melts in the heat like i do
anyways i figure i may as well dump some silly canon stuff here too:
she's a being from what she says is 'the hell that froze over' (because it sounds cool), in actuality it's probably something more like a frozen-over planet with some level of aquatic life under the ice.
at a base level, she's kinda like... if a slimegirl was a crab? like, she's not made out of slime it's still Meat Stuff but it's definitely amorphous and should usually be contained within a thick carapace on the exterior (so when fully shelled, lookin like some kinda scary lookin pointy bone demon). she claims to have lost hers or that it hasn't grown in yet or some such (hence she only has the horn covering)
anyways. her inside meat being amorphous = limited shapeshifting ability, so she somehow ended up on Earth and is posing as a humanoid and having a ton of fun eating and smoking and breaking stuff. but she still fuckin' hates the sun and heat
other fun facts:
loves meat, milk, sweet stuff, clothes, sleeping, swimming, video james (bad at them), money
hates spicy stuff, hot weather, working, people as stubborn as she is, waiting
i'm torn on when her birthday should be. officially it's technically 5/21, but 3/3 would be cute...
believes drinking milk will help grow her shell in
has a strong sixth sense due to having similar organic function to ampullae of lorenzini
durable. if you punch her it caves in like some monkey d luffy shit
