=====================================================================================================================A/N: LET'S BE REAL DID I EVEN NEED TO LINK THE THEMEI AM LIKE ALMOST CERTAIN EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU WHO'S BEEN ASKING ABOUT CCC YOUMU IMMEDIATELY WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE REVENGEANCE OST ONCE THIS CAME OUTCHRISTStill, I'm quite proud of her.In terms of detailing and color, yeah, she's easily among my favorite designs thus far, and that's not just cuz of the amazing new texture trick I found to be able to do kimono patterns. (okay yeah it kind of is 8D )Honestly I'm not completely pleased with how this writeup went down, as it went WAYYYYYYYYYYYY longer than I planned. But you know what, I kind of still like the flow of it. A big thing we had when designing CCC Youmu was the thought that she has all that training and talent in canon...but honestly all she lacks is real battle experience. You give her that, push her through the hell of Armageddon Day...and the result, assuming she survives, is what I consider a very definite example of a 'cool beauty'.She's grown up, essentially, and she's not just a little girl anymore.She's seen some shit, she's fought some shit, and most importantly, she's learned some shit.And while yes, it's not necessarily a good job she has, as being the right hand enforcer of Sei Rei (who is a bitch...admittedly one with really nice legs) kinda implies she's a villain...but hey, she does what she has to in order to keep Yuyuko safe, treated and alive. And also so she can make sure they don't get too close to the Ayakashi, because let's face it, THAT'S why Sei Rei got involved at all.Basically...I think that Youmu, as far as CCC goes, may honestly just be one of the more positive character stories we've got. I think if Yuyuko wasn't like, half dead/comatose, and could see Youmu now, she'd honestly be proud of her.Als for the love of god I made up so much shit about the Ayakashi and souls and the chaos and the connection to YuyukoIf there are major discrepancies, they may be adjusted later.Or yknow, we could just say screw that noise it's CCC-verse specific8DAs a final note, the design inspirations here were Guilty Gear's Baiken, Metal Gear Revengeance's JETSTREAM SAM (obviously)...and Phantasy Star Online 2's Rengokuto Ensa katana which is literally the most expensive piece of shit I own in game god damn it that was like 10 million bucks why(Also there was a really bad moment when I realized I was going with a dark green/royal purple color scheme88DNO GET THE HELL OFF MY KEYBOARD YOUD88SHOOANYWAYTHANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE WONDERFUL CRAZINESS THAT IS CCC(Also sadly this does indeed confirm that Sei Rei faction is truly the legs faction. I mean god dayum Youmu you grew up NICE)P.S. also all the kanji written on her outfit is legit and has a translation. GOOD LUCKSEE YOU ALL!Clockwork Corpse Carnival material may be found here and the prologue can be found here!CCC design team: and of course, myself.
