## Concept/Design Notes

### Design Idea Plans

*The essence of journalist costume can be regarded as a mirror story of last year's "Little Girl" costume essence - Source of Evil.*

*At the beginning of the story, just like the Oletus Manor in Alice Deross’s childhood, the island that was finally cursed was still a paradise that was given all good things.*

*But the malice of fate and the greed of human nature end eternity, destroy tranquility, pollute holiness, and finally become a place of notoriety.*

*At the same time, the roles played by each person in the reporter's essence are also a reflection of their own destiny in the main line.*

*Therefore, the color choice of the main characters is the color opposite to the essence of the "Little Girl" costume, and the shape is also more serious Tudor style.*

*When the eternal light ends, the darkness of death will come. However, only those who have experienced death can understand the preciousness of life. Therefore, even in the end of the world, "Eternity" still has compassion and obstacles, and she must release the last hope deep in the magic box.*

*This corresponds to the setting of the "Cursed Daughter" in the main storyline where Alice Deross returns.*

### Art Design Ideas

*According to the background of the fashion story, eternity represents the knight of death and has compassion for people, so the face shape refers to the Weeping Virgin, and the overall clothing style refers to Tudor clothing, with jewelry and embroidery as decorations. The first version of the sketch is not outstanding enough in terms of temperament. We hope that the texture of Tudor period clothing is velvet instead of silk. In addition, the jewelry embroidery decoration in the sketch is somewhat evenly distributed, which does not highlight the visual center.*

*The second edition combines the sketches of the upper body of sketch 1 and the upper body of sketch 2. The skirt and pleats are enlarged to enhance the overall temperament, and the chest, back, skirt embroidery and jewelry on the upper body are enriched, and the velvet texture of the clothing is strengthened. Partially added special effects when using skills.*

*Adjust the design details and complete the design after refinement.*

### **Model Details Description**

1. *She wears a black and gold crown on his head, and delicate pearl hair ornaments on his platinum hair. For whose life do black tears mourn?*
2. *The square neckline is inlaid with golden buttons, and the eye-catching black gemstone on the pearl necklace is like a black hole, pulling people into the abyss called eternity. The silver magic box in his hand is emitting a blue-black mist.*
3. *The velvet skirt is inlaid with pearl accessories, and the black dark patterns are eerie and mysterious. The legs are blue and translucent, and eternity does not seem to belong to this world.*

### ***Showroom Interface Design***

*Eternity opened the silver box to release all the evils in the world, and the accompanying resentment and pain, even as a messenger, she couldn't bear for a while, staggered and fell to the ground, and even cracks appeared in her soul.*

*At the time of desperation, at the bottom of the silver box, a familiar figure appeared, stretched out a helping hand to her, healed the pain, and repaired the cracks. Only then did she remember that that figure belonged to her "past" and belonged to her. Belongs to her origin of all evils, belongs to her beginning of redemption.*

### **Homecoming hall display**

*Eternity stops in the apartment, the pearl accessories on the head are shining with pearls, and the velvet dress looks like stars in the sky when the light and shadow pass by.*

### In-game display

*Turquoise flames and silver dots surround eternity. And the "memories" formed by the gathering of soul fragments also protect her in a dangerous situation.*
