Kiki Techwear Design Final
This is Kiki’s techwear costume design. This is the final version based on the earlier versions.
Techwear was a costume design style popularized by the mobile game Arknights around 2019 – 2020. I followed the trend and drew a few Kiki pictures with the style. However, the style was also highly exaggerated in the seemingly useful but actually useless details, the visually striking but uncomfortable materials, and the extremely baggy coat and insanely layered clothing. Since I came from an industrial design education background, I just could not get myself to push things to such an extreme. I would turn to athletic wear based costume designs in layer days.
