Djehkaujaa Character Design 2000 Chracter Design 1

Vintage 2000 rough sketches, character design, character development, concept art.

I had 2 main clothing/fashion designs for Djehkäujaa as a humanoid. The first look (story timeline) was a Mongolian 2-peice look, because I'd originally had her "falling" in the Mongolian plains. But, I think I will have the story take place within an alternate world, not our world.

I've actually been to Mongolia, personally, and I'm not actually sure I want it to specifically be Mongolia... also, I think in this century, because of the color of my skin, now, if I did that it would cause people to attack me and suddenly say "cultural appropriation" and throw eggs at me.

I don't know how people would react to Djehkäujaa in the traditional or tribal clothes.
