Another meme redraw! This time featuring a new OC of mine (and a non-original character ooh):

This is my first showing of Uta on this blog! She's one of my most developed OCs (I've written a full wiki page on her teehee), and recently she's been going through a bit of a redesign phase...
(The one on the left is her original design, I've been thinking of going with this new design on the right, though...)
I might try and do a proper introduction for her on here (and maybe my other OCs, too), because I'm quite proud of what I've done with her.

So. That Year Two announcement, huh?
I've already (kind of) said it on my DeviantArt, but I've recently redesigned my KOF OC, Uta!
So if she looks really different to how she did in my previous posts with her (there's only, like, two), that's why.
Random rambling about my thought process below the cut (warning: there are a lot of images & GIFs):
Uta's old design was based off of Yuki, from this bootleg fighting game on the GBC called Queen Fighters 2000. Like Uta, she was a Mai sprite edit, so it was quite easy to make.
It's not the worst design I've ever made (that would probably go to Shun's original design, might share that later), but I felt like it didn't really fit in much with KOF, and it was hard to add in the netting in every sprite (plus I don't think that stuff would be very practical for a ninja? I'm not sure why I did it in the first place...).
This new design makes a lot more sense to me, and I feel like it makes Uta look a lot more unique and different to Mai (which makes sense, as they're not biological sisters). The main inspirations for this design were:
Mai's appearance in Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture (mainly the colour scheme, and the decision to make her ginger).
One of Mai's alternate outfits from King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2 (I forgot which one, though; I've never actually played the game).
Andy Bogard's KOF 2001 design (mostly the black bodysuit, and the pants).
In giving her an outfit with inspiration from both her adoptive sister and brother-in-law, I feel like it makes her fit in more, rather than seeming like a bit of an outsider (which wouldn't be too inaccurate, but still...).
And yes, I will be making a M.U.G.E.N. character of her eventually.
Might be a bit late, but I made a thing with Mai + my OC Uta for Mai's City of the Wolves announcement.
It's a pretty neat design, cool to see Mai in something that isn't a ninja outfit or an elaborate dress.
Mai has been released now!
This wasn't meant to take nearly as long as it did...
