Description:
As you can see, design 02 was the winning redesign from the previous assignment. The first thing I did was take the outline out of Photoshop and into Illustrator to get some nice, clean, symmetric lines. I then took it back into Photoshop and colored the bajeebas out of it. I also used a few filters to try to mimic Skyward Sword’s style.

My aim was to design a slightly older looking Fi with an outfit using different parts of the Master Sword and its sheath. In addition, I also wanted her to be recognizable as Fi, so I used some of her original outfit’s elements, most noticeably its colors and the pattern on her legs (now on her arms :P).

Finally, we printed our designs out and hung them up.
