Neat little Boudica redraw from Fate Stay Grand Order
I actually started these a long time ago and forgot about em. These are two redraw concepts for Boudica from Fate Stay Grand Order.
The first redraw is focusing on making practical the impractical aspects of this outfit, and hoo boy is this impractical. Those tig old bitties would sag out of that half bralette in a stiff breeze, let alone in combat. And don’t get me started on the bikini - listen. I’ve done MMA wearing bikini panties, and they spent half the time sagging off my hips and the other half riding up my keister. Distracting af, please learn from my mistakes.
Second redraw is based on descriptions of the real Boudica, who was a Celtic revolutionary that rose up against the Roman Empire circa ~60AD. At the time and place she lived, she most likely would not have worn a bikini (shocking) but instead a long tunic with a belt/chain cinching the waist, and a cloak.
First, I love Boudica as a historical character, her story is really cool, so I think it's really great that you went into some detail about her and made two versions of the redraw.
Secondly, I love how you kept to the general spirit of the first, still keeping the crop top but making the outfit look a little more martial and less like she woke up out of bed late and forgot to put on clothes as she rushed to the battlefield. I also like how you kept to the original colour scheme for the second picture while incorporating elements from the historical depiction like the cloak and signet pin. Also I think the redesigns help to accentuate the determined expression on her face and make her seem more like a warrior.
I really like what you've done with the concept!
