Qing Ting-An/Outfits

Outfits
Despite how well-informed about social issues or how liberal her beliefs are, Ting can be surprisingly conservative with respect to tattoos and piercings, a knee jerk reaction from her upbringing by the philosophers. Ting uses ear cuffs instead of earrings for the aesthetic™.

Ting also tends to have multiple keys on her person and a satchel containing magical ingredients, all tied with knots. This allows her to use magic to carry out school assignments (and other stuff).

Signature
NGL I really struggled coming up with an outfit for Ting. I had ~3 outfit variants, each with a different colour combination. So about 7? different sets to choose between. The breakthrough came with Loona’s Butterfly teaser release. I saw the pants/chiffon shirt and knew I wanted Ting to try something like that. That night, I drew a rough concept sketch of Ting’s crop top/pants/over skirt and asked the FFC and irl friends for help deciding.

Almost everyone agreed on the 4th outfit, and with a bit of tweaking, everything went smooth sailing from there (or as smooth as it can be HAHA). I created the wave/lock patterns (taking a lot of reference from Chinese waves/ Chinese geometrical designs) and drew the lines, base colours and shading.

Something I was really insistent on including throughout the design iterations are the knots + keys. 1st. because it contrasts and complimented with Addy’s ribbons 2. keys play a big part in Princess Makemnoit’s scenes. There are key motifs repeated throughout her outfit: in her hair clips, on her lapels/ as her heels.

Other lines
NGL don’t think this will ever happen. I lost the files for her base and :’) I’m way too tired to redraw her base.
