This is a nice idea that came up, creating a mascotte for our board!
>>5230 already gave a good idea for starting her appearance:
>I'm thinking an anime girl, for obvious reasons, in a pink, frilly, cutesy, princess dress. This is because of the theme of the board. The personality should be kind and innocent, but a bit mischievous. This is of course comes from the rules/guidelines. That's all I got for ideas.
Adding to this, I think we should also reference to 8chan in some way, like Vivian James did with 4chan, aand… that she shouldn't be too similar to Princess Peach.
Depending on timing and stuff, I could insert her into our incoming ad for publicizing the board too.
More ideas about details (eyes, hair style and colour, etc) and… everything really, since she still is only a draft, are more than welcome!

I would suggest the dress be a bit longer, and not sticking straight out at the bottom, making it a more gradual curve to the bottom which is more like some roses.
Also, this next idea isn't really a suggestion since it would be a bad idea since it would make OC less common, but I really think victorian dresses can look quite nice.

These are nice ideas, yes. Still we need someone who can draw decently: so not me sadly (not that >>5303 is not nice eh). I tried asking at the tan thread on /co/, but got no answers.
Ideas?

I could attempt to draw. In fact I did start, but I really can't draw the face or hair. I don't think I could draw hands or feet either. The head isn't nice, and I'm certainly nit confident in my ability to draw a dress. I'm more of a pen and paper person, but even then I am really bad, and you're looking for a more finished looking product from the first draft.

So I've seen the global announcement and I think we absolutely have to fit into that!
Again, I can't draw, but if some of you knows how to quickly find someone who's willing to do a more complete drawing of our mascotte please do tell.
I might have to ask on /co/ again? Or there is a better board?

I think asking on /co/ would be your best bet. I couldn't find anywhere appropriate that isn't as slow as us. I guess if you happen to come across a draw thread somewhere where it would be appropriate you could ask there. I have a friend who can draw alright, but I don't know if he could draw //cute//-tan or if he has an easy way to digitally draw. I'll ask him tomorrow.

Hello //cute//, drawfag from Deutsch/pol/ here. (basically a german subboard of /pol/)
If you like I'll draw your board-tan, once you have her design finalized.

Hello! Thanks for offering your skills for this!
Well I think that the design is pretty much defined, unless someone still wants to add something.
The color scheme is the one in the sketch at >>5303 and more details are at >>5693 (not that much detailed eh, these are examples - maybe you could use the heart texture we have on posts here in the dress?) and >>5736 - >>5820 .
There's only one thing I'd change in the sketch - I'd colour the 8chan headband with a different shade of pink, like that it's too similar to her hair - or even make it green. I know it's out of place, but it's the 8chan logo.
And the hair. We wanna them straight like in the sketch? They are fine for me, wanna know what you guys think.
Lastly - we were thinking of making a twin sister for her, in resemblance of the former /c/ board who's now dead. We'll make them twins since it makes sense and you don't have to draw 2 characters! Just swap their colour scheme like Ram and Rem of Re Zero - or even better, the dress scheme like the twin sisters of Another - see pic related.
And now that I think about it, this fits even better since in Another one of the twins dies - like /c/.
tl;dr maybe wait an answer for the couple of things I asked, then go for it. Just let me know if this is ok.
Again, thank you really much! Waiting to see your answer and the board's thoughts on this.

Alright, here's some alternative choices for colour scheme and hair styles. Everyone can just reply to this post with the combination they like most. Don't hesitate to suggest another hairstyle if you don't like any of them, these are just the ones that came to mind.
My personal opinion: 3A, original hair is /cute/st and green + pink actually works quite well.
Take my take opinion on colour with a few grains of salt though, I have some issues seeing green/red properly. Please tell me if anything is off.
I will think of a few simple dress designs tomorrow. This will be somewhat new after drawing military uniforms and shirts all the time, but theres good references in this thread already, so it should work out.
>We'll make them twins since it makes sense and you don't have to draw 2 characters!
I like the idea of swapping only colour and/or details on the dress, but I plan on drawing them together anyway, with some sort of interaction. So don't worry about the amount I have to draw, it's fun and good practice.

I'm the one who made the sketch, the bangs of the hair actually gradually turn to the blue board hue which kinda makes it look violet or purple in between but you might not see it well in the sketch unless you examine it closely.
I'm not sure about that green color I think it kinda clashes with the rest but that's just my opinion. I think the hair looks good as either the pink or blue hue, but again you can change it as you like. Maybe the ribbon could be the darker board blue hue if the color of the hair is pink ,or you could change the green of the ribbon to make it more minty colored so that it matches the rest a bit better..
I fixed up the color scheme a bit to show what I mean, not sure if its /cute/r or not. I kinda like the hair as a solid color but this doesn't look that bad either, kinda like the hair used to be dyed blue and then it grew out and some light pink was added
Just some ideas

Well shit, I can't even see the gradient in this edit. Stupid Deuteranomaly. Only after I invert all the colours do I notice it.
I'll just use the colour picker and try to copy your corrections then, thank you.
That is, if noone objects.
I'm still open to any changes or ideas until Friday evening. After that I will default to whatever seemed most popular, so I can finish it on Saturday.

Don't feel bad, it is a very similar pastel color so it blends pretty easily. But you reminded me of this;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygRNoieAnzI
Its actually just this board pink and board blue (2 colors) but they're just used more or less to make it look more like a smooth transition, like dithering. Each one might have a bit of a blurred edge which aids the effect.

Her hair are like Byakuren of Touhou. See pic.
As for the colours, I'd make the hair ones a bit more saturated, to see the transiton better. Maybe using the Colours of the posts instead of the background? And I'd swap them - blue on top, transition to pink in the bottom. That's because I think it'll be a bit too much pink overall.
For the ribbon, idea: make the one of the /c/ tan red, and the one of //cute// tan - this one in your post - green. To symbolize both logos of 8chan and to say that /c/ tan is gone now.
Like these ideas?

Pink is generally /cute/ and fits the board but blue was in the first suggestions. Green is in the logo for 8chan but I've seen the 8chan logo in other colors, green seems to kind of clash with the board's colors. That said the green ribbon does look kinda good, but it might be too similar to that other tan character;

Of all these the best one for //cute// tan is 1B now that I think about it. The pink headband is still ok yes. I'd go with hair colour swapped (from blue to pink) and red headband for /c/ tan.
Just make the transition of hair colours more smooth.

This is really helpful.
>>6052
Which do you mean by 1B? The second one in the top row?
It seems noone wants to make a strong case for either the pink or green headband. Time to flip a coin?
Anyway, here are some dresses.
First is close to the one in the original sketch.
Second is the first merged with a little more traditional style.
Third is a simplified version of the heart design here >>5693
Fourth is similar to a victorian style.
Ignore the colours for now, they'll be changed to match her hair and headband. And again, nothing is final yet so combinations of parts and new ideas are still possible.
Also, for her footwear I'd just copy the ones in the fifth picture here >>5693
It's simple and nice. Any sort of boots will be far difficult to match to the dress, I think.

No I mean the first one of the second row. Hair from pink to blue, pink bow.
As for the bow, green or pink is ok I guess. If no one has a preference, flip a coin.
For the dress: yes the second one is the most appealing to me. Maybe I'll combine it with the short sleeves of the third one.
Also - eyes: I'd do them blue. To make some contrast with all the pink, and to reference the blue hair.
In the end - some trivia from /c/'s story to help you with the interaction between the two tans: /c/ got killed by an anon who claimed it and wiped the place, calling it /c/andy. Since that, I think our tan should not like candies, since they are the cause of disappearance of her twin sister.
A description of /cute/ tan's character that I like is in the op's greentext:
>The personality should be kind and innocent, but a bit mischievous. This is of course comes from the rules/guidelines.
If you guys agree I'd make this canon for her.
Since they are twins, the hair colour should be the same, so ignore what I said for them being swapped for /c/ tan. Same eye colour too I think.
Thank you for the patience of reading all this!

Also yes it should flare less at the bottom. More linear.

Thanks for your edits anon, makes my job a lot easier.
Last point is her relationship with /c/-tan then.
> /c/ got killed by an anon who claimed it and wiped the place, calling it /c/andy. Since that, I think our tan should not like candies, since they are the cause of disappearance of her twin sister.
>disapperance
Should they not be shown next to eachother, then? Or should stand slightly behind her to symbolise the "succession"? And should /c/-tan have a sad expression maybe?

One thing:
>/c/-tan: identical with red bow
I'd swap the color of her outfit too, making it mostly blue. This has sense since /c/ was without a board theme, so it had the default blue color.
>Should they not be shown next to eachother, then? Or should stand slightly behind her to symbolise the "succession"? And should /c/-tan have a sad expression maybe?
The second one? It sounds like it would work. As for the expression, no. It's better having her still happy for this.

You're right, though it is common like >>6086 says, the eyebrows were a bit too pronounced through the hair. I think this is better. Not sure about the hair colour in front of her eyes, but pure pink is probably better as well.
