[New-Segu] New-Segu Original Art Work Review
It's finally been revealed after more than two years since the contest ended..!
There were many drafts and minor tasks passed along the way, but I'd like to write a little bit only about the drafts that were finally applied!
1. Face Plastic Surgery
1st Surgery
This is the first surgery draft I worked on because Segu-nim wanted New-Segu's eyes to look a bit more fancy!
The draft used for Isepe-gu is the one above.

2nd Surgery
As a lot of time passed even after New-Segu's 1st surgery,
this is a draft I proposed and newly worked on to keep up with the... virtual avatar modeling quality inflation!
The previous surgery was a rework on the existing illustration, but for this draft, I increased the resolution significantly and worked on it from scratch.

2. Hoodie Pigtails
This is a draft worked on because she gave feedback that she wanted to pull the pigtails to the front when wearing the hoodie!
3. Outfit Modification
This is a draft where the upper part of the outfit was modified because she gave feedback that the neck area of the existing dress design felt stuffy and she wanted to modify it!
Apart from the outfit, the position of the pigtails was adjusted, and the hair volume was reduced slightly to make it lighter.
Now that New-Segu has finally been revealed, I feel somewhat relieved, and I'm so glad that we could finish it safely.
I hope the results of the drafts that Gosegu-nim and I agonized over together came across satisfactorily to those who were looking forward to New-Segu!
There are so many others besides me who worked hard for New-Segu.
Although I worked on the concept art, New-Segu wouldn't have been able to be revealed to the world without the others,
so it would be great if you could show a lot of interest in the many other creators as well!
Please give lots of love to New-Segu who will be with us from now on!!
