Hi everyone, my name is Kimberly and for the contest I've decided to create a Nami skin. The theme/name of the concept is 'Mother of Pearl Nami'. I've created a mood board to start with and I've also collected some references from the original concept art. I wanted to focus on a more elegant and regal feel for this Nami skin, so I've referenced more shells and fish that I believe have inspired my visual exploration.

I was thinking the same thing! Right now I am leaning more towards 4 because I feel like the entire theme is based on the 'Mother of Pearl' and the colour palette makes her feel quite royal, like a queen. As you mention though, 6 does fit with the theme a lot more. I think when I get to the texturing stage I will try both because it might look different at that time.
6 already has a bit of 'mother of pearl' feel to it... so maybe number 4 could have more of a contrast to it?
Will try exploring a lot between 4 and 6. I think they're both quite good to follow up with. I think it's because my concept lacks detail so they could both do with a lot more work. If I had more details, I think I would have more places to create the contrast and really bring out the palettes .
Hahaha, I think 6 is really popular here! So I'll try to further push it. Thanks for your feed back
