Design Revision

Sorry if this is in the wrong section!!
I just wanted some feedback on my UTAUs design; I wanted to try going for a neon vaporwave type aesthetic. Atm I feel like that the "neon" part of the aesthetic isn't really there; I want to keep the design simple but not boring. What I find wrong with it is that, the hoodie is too plain and the color is ugly (but I find that that's the only color that really works? bc I wanted neon pink in the design which I managed to incorporate in her eyes and the inner lining in the boots).
Note: I couldn't express it well in my drawing but the dress and boots are supposed to be shiny leather.

Maybe you could try toning down the pink of the top a little bit, closer to the pink on her eyes? I feel that a tad less bright pink could work better with the black dress. Also you could consider adding more pink on her, like on the hem of the dress, or some detail. Having the same pink colour in some other part of her costume could tie the top more into the overall design. I don't know if it'd work, I'm just suggesting possibilities. Overall I'm a fan of simple designs, so I think it's fine to not clutter your design too much, but I think some more pink details might look good.

I have some ideas I want to suggest, but I don't think I can describe it with words, is it okay to draw the ideas on your reference image?

OHHH that's a really interesting idea!! I LOVE the big sunglasses, so def keep those no matter what lol. one thing I'd suggest (and this is just my opinion/art style) is that instead of having JUST pink on black, I think if you added like a neon orange element to her it would make the neon part of her aesthetic more distinguished? since you just have it in the eyes & zippers. maybe a different colour, neon purple & blue on black??

whenever I think of vaporwave I picture colourful neon-y-ness with dark colours. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but tbh she's lookin hot the way she is already ;P

Okay, I have 2 files to share. 1 is the edits I did, and the other is the edits my twin did. Not sure if any of these will be helpful for you or not, we went a little crazy and couldn't stop drawing as usual...

Mine:

Sister's:

For drawing leather, I just use a normal, 100% opacity round brush and draw a line. Then I take a bigger soft brush with 40%ish opacity and erase one side of the line.

Holy sh- fkdkdkdkd that you and your sister did is amazing!! Thank you so much! Thank you for the tips regarding drawing leather too hehe💖
I’d love to build upon what guy guys have done if that’s okay? Just to add on other people’s suggestions but wow I actually love the changes you guys made!! If it’s okay (with credit ofc) may I please use the artwork to send as references to commissioners and such? If not that’s totally fine!

You can just call us "uncreepy" (since we're kind of a duo account) or "the uncreepy twins", whichever is fine.

We're curious to see more artwork of your UTAU when you get more in the future. ^^
