For the hairstyle , keeping the same style as the body shape ( angular and pointy ) , I lean toward the more funky and messy hairstyles, some even boyish-looking to really indicate her hyperactive and bash attitude. Among them , I like the one with the beanie hat thing the best , as its inspired from a kitchen cap , combined with a regular beanie to create something that seems normal to be a every-day accessory but also identify what her position is ( a kitchen staff and waitress ) . The fact that even though a cap is supposed to covered your entire hair (so it won start falling off all over ) , yet her hair still pops out reinforce the idea of her being a slob at times.
*Insert CAP-tion*
the many examples of waitress outfit , I definitely preferred the more tomboy-ish and casual look of the far left , as in this context , Marie is working at a family-run chip shop , so there is no need for proper uniform , and that is not mentioning her personality yet. However , the appeal of a dress plus apron is very alluring indeed !
The mechanic suit idea is actually pretty straight forward ,as it is such a recognisable image. On top of that , I didn't to over-sexualised the character by doing short shorts or rolled and tied shirt cow-girl style , so I tried with a very typical mechanic out fit , with the added goggles for the extra flair
The outfit design follow the general principles above. I tried to combine the "apron" ( waitress ) with a mechanic suit , as portraying her hobby of being in the garage constantly , and coming in the shop straight from it ( the oil marks really help with that !) . I think that would create a very unique look that identify with her personalities well . Preference is leaning for the first outfit ( middle page , far-left design)
digital combination concepts !
On the side note , really love working digitally like this . It's probably because I'm so use to doing thing digitally that I found the concepts here seems much more appealing than the one in the sketchbook
