In Febuary 2017 the Gamescom, a German video game convention, announced a character design competition. I was not really interested into the price so I didn't focus on winning but I had this idea of a sparkling alien girl for a while already and well, this was a good opportunity. At the same time I did muscle studies and I worked them into her appearance. To make the muscles visible I made her suit transparent. So yeah, most of this design has practical reasons. XD
There is also a youtube video of my drawing process (although I alternated the image later - the background was very ugh).
