#piq development

Updating Beatrix Althea's Character Design! Her uniform here is the Forager/Traveler uniform. Below the turnaround are her old iterations. A Historical and Cultural Ambassador and Third Rank Scoutmaid, Beatrix Althea is a kind, shy, and modest Black woman, aged 30, from the Country Country of Fernweh. A well-read, trusting, curious, and kind-spirited lady droven by her work, love for her country, and a never-ceasing desire for discovery. She loves meeting new people, regardless of where they’re from or who they are, and enjoys the company of friends.

Playing with Dienesis’ color scheme. I’m trying to find a balance for their dark and light coloring on their body and wings.

Updated design for Beatrix Althea's eyes, proportions, and anatomy. Her original "dot eyes" did not fit in with the rest of the style of PIQ cast. In the future, I need to create a style guide for all my stories, including PIQ and World of Iohnovia, to avoid any weird inconsistencies in the style. A year ago, I originally designed Beatrix as a Storytime avatar for a character-driven storytime series. I since then changed my story for PIQ to be an adventure story. That change also inspired me to worldbuild a whole universe where PIQ and my other stories will take place.
