Hello everyone. My character will be a little lightning bug fairy, the feeble light that can only be seen in the dark as a metaphor for the small good things in life that can only be truly appreciated when you can't take them for granted anymore.
Her name is yet to be decided ( suggestions are welcome) but she is a forest spirit who protects those who got lost during their journey and shows them the right path with her lightning bugs.
She looks like a little girl but she's not childish, rather she is wise and caretaking even though she always has a dreamy expression. She dishes out her wisdom in a rhetorical way with questions a child would make.

I have a couple of days of work to post.

These are the earliest sketches i made. I was pretty happy with the bug-legged fairy so i sticked with it.

Here are some clothes and overall shape explorations, also i tried some basic color schemes. I'm trying to focus more on the big shapes rather than on the details for now.

Some front and back basic anatomy just to figure out how the big pieces merge together. Tried some new clothes.
The anime face is just a placeholder even though I'm going for a more cartoony looking style than a realistic one.

Nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the face. I think the sketches with the antenna look promising.

Thank you for the feedback, I indeed intend to keep the antennae.

I decided the outfit and color scheme. Just need to polish up the concept piece and then I'll move on to the illustration.

I always forget to post my work on here so i have quite a few things.
I finished the big work on my main concept even though i still have to make her pretty for the final shot.

I then started the illustration. Here is where i am right now.
