the insight illustration series returns with the newer Musicarts and the pieces they came from! this serves as part 6 of this post, and make sure to look forward for the others! I hope you enjoy!
I also had a compiled twitter thread of this too so go HERE for the thread!
i have a love-hate relationship with the designs of the Seasons quartet, so I decided to redesign them put my own spin on it!
if i'll be honest, spring and autumn are mostly fine (i particularly adore autumn's hairstyle and her grapes motif), and winter is.. ok.. but summer?! i'll be super honest here and say her design was so confusing initially that i neglected to build her kit. just.. yikers.
not to say i don't understand what LAM was going for—each of the 4 are tied together as a cohesive set through elements like their black ruffled collars, red tips of their hair, and skirts with flower petticoats, and yet each of them vary slightly in these aspects which clearly shows they're all united as seasons yet have very different personalities. i wanted to honor that, so in my own tweaks of their collars i thought about all giving summer and winter scarves instead.
(here are annotated pictures of both summer and winters' sprites for reference btw)
..so yeah. if i ever try to expand on this, another thing i would probably heavily edit is the white "panels" of their hair. again, it's another element that makes a lot of logical sense in terms of character design, but doesn't work super great imo. maybe after trying to tweak it i may change my mind, who knows
Takt op's official twitter account has periodically releasing the profiles or biodata for the new playable Musicarts. This serves as part 6!
First person basis is a term on how to address yourself in first person, widely known in Japanese language has so many words to address yourself in first person. I have an explanation on each first person basis used here on a twitter thread !
the Musicarts' ages are still a grey area since they're human-like being but not a human at the same time. I speculated that it was the age when they were first awakened as a Musicart, or the age when their human host loses their conciousness and memory before awakened as a Musicart— similar to Anna's awakening as Destiny. (this is a subject to change)
