FLAVOR FOLEY wanted Miki to look robot-y, and wanted something visually different from her official designs.

I immediately got to sketching some, but you can already tell what the problem is. ITS JUST A VARIATION OF HER 2009 DESIGN (BECAUSE ITS GOOD AS HELL AND IM BIASED)

I did also sketch what the refrain would look like– I immediately knew she needed different expressions for each version, with a big cute smile at the end!!! SHE'S HUMAN SHE'S REAL SHE'S HAPPY

Thankfully FLAVOR FOLEY gave me some more constraint ideas for Miki's design (i thrive on contraints): fluffy hair like her 2025 design, “weird eyelashes”, stars, “if we can have navy that’d be cool”, “ROBOT LINES!!! ROBOT JOINTS!!! THIS IS NON NEGOTIABLE!!!!!!”

And finally rice (member of FLAVOR FOLEY) sent me a “vibe sketch” they made forever ago. And it clicked

This is it. The evangelion plugsuit. A body that’s breaking down, cables visible through the wear and tear. And a cool, pristine jacket, lovingly taken care of, perhaps belonging to someone dear to her

We all worked together to make the colors fit, but here are some variations for your viewing pleasure

With the character design done, I got to making a simple storyboard, which didn't end up requiring many changes. Thank you FLAVOR FOLEY for letting me Do My Thing!!!

I worked as an animator for many years, and this was pretty simple animation… I had a lot of fun. I hadn’t animated hair in a while though, so this video saved my bacon

And after that, I just animated the whole video!!! From the concept art to finishing the animation, this took me like a week. Which is great because i had one week of break to rest from making my visual novel lol
