The accessory that my character has is part of her outfit, this accessory being her belt. The belt ties together her outfit and gives a flattering shape to her dress. She wears this belt to further express her style and personality. I designed this belt to have a heart motif as the buckle to tie in with her personality being friendly etc. and as I think it looks really cute with the pink dress. Below is a breakdown of all of my references for the outfit I created for my character and a look at what my inspiration was. Also I drew some close up, more detailed sketches of the smaller elements of her outfit including the shoes and the belt. I wanted to make sketches of these to show the details like the buckle, the belt holes, how it looks from the back and also on the shoes the laces and a front view of them so I would have more to work off when modelling the shoes in 3D.
Above is some really simple pose sketches I made to show how my character would do things, my favourite of these two is how she sits. I imagine her to swing her legs forwards and backwards when sitting down and think this is a fun quirk of her character. She does this because she wants to be up exploring and adventuring and subconsciously her body just wants to keep moving. The other one I drew was of a different standing position than what was in my original sketches. As I was drawing the hand on hip pose I started to think that it could be the pose she strikes whilst thinking or even when confused by something. I think this could be a fun little pose and it could also include tapping of the foot to make it have more motion and character to it. Additionally the pose I have drawn my character in for all of my sketches could be her standard pose, when she is just stood doing nothing. It is a very relaxed pose and shows off her outfit well I think.
