tried making my own redesign of Ribos from Miscrits Reborn! this is still a WIP, so some details might change in the future.

this is just the first evolution; will do the rest of its evolutions haha

i wanted to do this since i do have a criticism of the original design* being not actually being rendered in the Miscrits style (making it out of place), as well as the body horror aspect that can be triggering to some users. also mainly because i want to better convey the Water element this Miscrit has, which is... not really apparent in the original design*.

also made this in Affinity Designer! man, vectors are tricky, so this took me around two days (counting breaks) 😅

since this is my first time rendering something in full vector format, constructive criticism is welcome, especially with the shapes of the shadows and highlights! though keep in mind that i am trying to emulate the Miscrits style. /gen

* eyestrain (saturated colors) and possibly body horror and trypophobia warning, but here's the original design by Kaze Black and a clearer version here
