Finally got around to finishing that Ashlyn redesign! Been a struggle with this one, but I think I got it to a point where I look at it and see Ash, so I think it's finally ready.
Ash kind of gave me the "oversized sweater with a maxi-skirt" kind of vibe, but she also gives me a cottage core vibe at the same time, so I tried to blend the two while keeping her signature color palate. Thank you so much to @internetgiraffekid1673 for helping me figure out how to adapt my design to still come across looking like her. At first I had only implemented floral in one way in her outfit, and had given her fully opaque sleaves and your advice really helped bring this together. I imagine this version of Ash has a really large and diverse shoe collection. Kind of like how my version of Maddie is always wearing a different hat every time you see her, this Ash is always wearing different shoes. No, I did not draw a bunch of different examples of her shoe collection for this one. Being the cottage core girlie she is, I figured a large chunk of her shoe collection would be historical reproduction victorian footwear, as a lot of us tend to be obsessed with those (source: I am also a cottage core girlie (maybe Im projecting here. I wish I could have that collection)). I also feel like she would totally be passing out flyers for an animal shelter or something on a regular basis, or maybe sometimes a plant conservatory. One of those two is what she's doing in the picture.
[ID: A drawing of a redesign of Ashlynn Ella drawn in an anime-like style. She stands facing front-right in a three quarters view. She is leaning slightly forward with her left hand holding a flyer up in the air, while her right clutches a stack of flyers to her side. Her facial expression is cheery and bright eyed with a wide, open mouthed smile, as though she is shouting something. Her hairstyle is a mix of the two different styles it has in cannon. It has the hair roll/bun thing higher on top of her head like her design before the soft reboot, and has mostly straighter hair with a very slight wave to it like her design after the soft reboot. She does not have the headband that her cannon design wears. She wears no makeup, with the exception of some subtle natural colored lip gloss. She wears a dusty pink oversized sweater, with leafy vines embroidered into it on her left side in a gold thread. The sleaves of the sweater are a two toned lace, primarily made of a shear thin teal lace with a floral pattern in the lace that's opaque, thicker, and the same color as the body of the sweater. The sweater is pulled down over the top of a long teal maxi-skirt, with a gold flower pattern printed onto it, of flower stalks coming up from the bottom of the skirt at varrying hights. Layered over the sweater is a teal crocheted underbust corset, with one large flower embroidered onto it with gold yarn. Her shoes are historial reproduction victorian boots, a pale teal in color, with gold buttons and gold colored soles and heels. She also wears a long gold drop neclace with a shoe pendant as her only jewlery. /EndID]
