New OC time and story time!

last night I was talking on twitter about how much I love the concept of "dark" versions of characters, like Dark Link, the evil mario in Mario Sunshine, Dark Samus, stuff like that. No matter how much it's overdone, I love it. So I was like hey, I should make a dark version of my sona!

Now when it comes to making characters evil I don't believe in just making them with black hair dark clothes and super edgy that's way too easy lmao

I started by turning Lumi's design around. Lumi's design is bright, based primarily on foxes (with squirrel elements,) she's got big ears and a big tail, and a big nose. Her design elements are inspired by nature, the forests and the rivers and whatnot; basically, my favorite kind of place to be. I knew that to make the opposite, I had to go to industrial. Steampunk is what I was originally gonna do, but it took its own direction as I drew it out.

This Dark Lumi (which I haven't come up with a proper name yet) has small ears and a small tail, many more squirrel elements. Her primary fur color is white (to Lumi's orange) but it's much more muted. Her build is much more stockier than Lumi's. Her hair is blue with red eyes to oppose Lumi's red hair with blue eyes. She came out looking like a villain in a Captain Planet episode, which works for me because Lumi always reminded me of Captain Planet anyways. This girl looks like she'd be working with the big businesses to make pollution, sludge, you name it.

This was a lot of fun and I hope you like it too!
