After looking at several artists, I've been thinking a lot about dancing props and how I could tie the aesthetic looks of this instrument to match her character. So, I looked at different designs of staffs and they all have an ornamental design at the top so I decided to create a feathered design to resemble a feather fan.
It looks very basic but what better to bring it to life than colour~ Like the caravan colour schemes, I decided to play around with different Hue settings until I could find one that I was happy with.
The colour I decided to pick was is this blue/gold combination because it matches perfectly with my characters outfit. I thought that the gold was quite important since it works together with my character's jewellery and the green stone in the centre of the prop matches her eyes.
As you can see here, I came up with two different ways of wielding this instrument. The one of the left is of course suppose to resemble two small hand fans. At first I was aiming to create a staff but I quite like the other design because it works better as a dance prop in comparison to the other so, that's the one I've decided to pick.
This is just a very quick doodle I did on Paint tool SAI so you can get a better idea of how my character looks with the props. This picture also gives a good indication of the size of these props in relation to my character.
