I'm changing Hitan's appearance so he doesn't look so much like Run. Tbh he doesn't, but I've been inspired to just update. Or try to. Everything I'm mentioning is WIP.

For one, I'm trying to decide on an ideal eye design that helps his personality. There's a lot of light (yes, I use symbolism in my eye designs and designs in general lol) on one side of both eyes. His eyes are supposed to look angelic in general, but it's not the look I'm going for for all of him.

Hitan's...how should I say it? He was like a literal angel, but he was changed. So, he's more of a chaotic neutral and chaotic good than lawful good, like an angel would be. His personality needs a lot of working on, but I still need development. A point I definitely want to stress is his capability for hiding his thoughts and feelings, but the way he does this is undecided. I mean, as Specter has said, he seems pretty serious, and he is. But, he was never serious to start with.

Back to design, I've given his eyes a more realistic look (or is that my changing style? Hhh), but they're still pretty wide and open. His irises are pretty large. His eyebrows are also pretty skinny, and his nose arch is pretty high. I've noticed he's still distinguishingly male, though. He has pretty wide lips and it doesn't seem to interfere with his appearance?

His face structure is pretty pointy and he seems to have really round cheeks, heh.

I changed more about his hair. I somehow gave him more bangs, and he has hair covering both of his ears, so there might be something design-wise in the region around the ears? A symbol or something? I kept the feather accessory, though it's more like how Samurai depicted it. There are 2 and they are white in his more mortal appearance, but they changed golden-white when he activates his wings.

His wings haven't changed--yet. I need to draw more wings (Hitan's getting more sketches yay), but it seems to have large feathers with sharp tips, with the interior tinted with gold compared to the outside frame. I need to decide the size.

I don't know if his "mortal" eye design is different, hmm.

His hair's more swept towards the right now, and I think the back is longer than the front.

Now. The clothing. Big pain in the donkey.

His personality seems to suit more loose/baggy clothing? So I'm going with a cloak or a robe. I'm trying to make it so it doesn't interfere with the wings, though, and that it's easy to remove. Maybe a clasp to either side? I'm also noticing how it doesn't seem to fit by going down to his hip, so I might make it more like a cut-off vest style. I don't know how to transition it to the belt, though. And there's a slight baggy section covering the front just before the legs, and I'm not sure what to do with that.

Then, the sleeves. I wanted it more like cut off by an accessory, so I gave him a slight gauntlet/glove type of thing. It looks awkward, though, because it's inside. So, like I said, maybe a scarf type of design. I need to know where what cuts off.

I'm not worrying about his leggings and boots/footwear for now hhh
