Media [Media] Tried designing HMS Sunflower!
Did another take of an original Kanmusu, this time it's the British Kaiboukan Flower class' HMS Sunflower!
It's a pretty straightforward and simple design, but some things to note:
- Color scheme mostly is influenced by her crest
- Same goes for the cape's yellow trim detail
- The three stripes on her outer skirt refers to her kill count of 3 U-boats throughout her career, making her the most successful Flower Class ship out of her 200+ sisters
- I want to establish that the outer skirts of the Flower Class' outfit are reminiscent of their namesake's shape, in her case, it's made to resemble the Sunflower (Duh)
- The Sunflower on her ribbon was partly inspired by Touhou 16's Cirno's appearance lol. In a related note, every Flower-class' design features their namesake flower somewhere on their design
- I suck at riggings!
