Following up on the Simeon design from earlier, here's Alyson.

Alyson's always been sort of a problem for me. While I've had Simeon's look down for quite a while (minus a few tweaks here and there), Alyson keeps changing. Mostly because I've never found a look that really captured her well.

This one actually feels a lot better to me. I think I've finally found Alyson's look.

Where I used birds for Simeon, I used fish for Alyson. Especially bettas. Her hair is supposed to invoke the fluttery tail of some bettas, and the way her skirt hangs is supposed to be fin-like as well. Her overall shape is supposed to be fishlike, emphasizing hips and de-emphasizing bust.Under suggestion, I gave her near-permenant dark circles under her eyes.

With Maria, I can see her wearing a barette to keep her bangs out of her face, and her eyes would probably change entirely.

I thought the necklace was a nice touch. It's the kanji for "(o)taku." You can take a guess about its meaning.
