YGO: Mai Outfits

...and the continuation of my last fanart, same principle.

Mai never makes things easy for me with regards to her wardrobe. There are a lot of things that I'd like to see her wear, but that don't really seem in-character. Then again, we only ever see 3 Outfits on her, all very similar in design, so I went with this idea of a "dueling uniform", or trademark identity that the duelists develop for themselves for the middle outfit. The short hair indicates that this is one that I'll probably use somewhere in my Polarshipping continuity (as Mai cuts her hair there).
The left outfit was again a prompt by a friend, who wanted mom jeans. I'm actually quite pleased with how it turned out.
The right one is my attempt at a more autumn/winter-friendly outfit (which channels a lot of Emma Swan, imo ).

The pose... no idea what happened there. Mai doesn't look sold on it. By the third one, I think she actually gives me the stink eye. *175% done*

PS: Yes, she looks more curvy and regular-sized here. This is entirely intentional, as I'm currently working on giving each YGO a more individual body type compared to the manga. While Manga in general are not really great on the whole body diversity thing, I kinda like Kishimoto's approach in Naruto - the boys are very differently shaped, and even the girls don't end up looking like skinny dolls, but rather the athletes that they are trained to be, with strong body frames and contures.
