Original character - Serpent user Koharu 心春

New revamp of my own character - Koharu 心春

A serpent user who commands a huge sea serpent with poison attribute. Koharu's identity is also Yokai mermaid(form to be revealed soon).
Being a mermaid, Koharu 心春 will be able to control waters as well as mists.

My whole IP is inspired by Japanese Folklore - Yokais, a Japanese fantasy story.
For Koharu 心春's design, as she is paired with her familiar, her design is inspired by both a shrine maiden and mermaid of the Japanese folklore. Shrine maiden being the power to control the giant serpent with the melody of the flute she is holding, scales of fishes on the edge of the sleeves. Hair ends to resemble the tip of a snake.

The part of being a mermaid is not shown in this post but I had planned for another post for her true form to be revealed. Please look forward to it :)
I also mixed in some designs of a jelly fish into the familiar's design for a more unique look. A look closer to a Ryuu-O but nothing similar.

Will upload the process video soon, Please look forward to it!
