#toi

I love the vimalion project and took a lot of inspo from them yay <3

they are both based on plants that are significant to Korean culture! Nea’s design is inspired by the hibiscus (national flower) and Toi’s is based on a pine tree.

Their outfits are very hanbok with a modern touch! With Toi i think i had his design figured out very quick, while Nea’s design took a lot longer because her colors are so saturated. There’s already two pink Korean synths and i didn’t want them to have too much overlap, and it took some fiddling to get her motif shape right. It needed to look distinctly like a hibiscus, and avoid looking too much like the government symbols, lol.

They both have the taegeuk (the half-circle swirly mark similar to the yin yang symbol) motif in their eyes and also in their earring (which is also based on decorations on ancient Korean royal artifacts).
