Young Motoko Kusanagi Character Sheets

 Completely redid the design because my last one was, well... ugly.

Here are her street clothes. I wanted a design that covered up most of her cyborg parts, so that she could get close to passing as a normal little girl. I also wanted the design to be feminine, since throughout the series, Motoko occasionally shows moments of struggling with her identity as a woman when she knows she could just as easily be placed inside a male cybernetic body. I took inspiration from Motoko's design in the second season of Stand Alone Complex, seen below it.
 

This is her combat uniform, her normal clothing in a sense. I wanted the design to be modern and militaristic, while still showing off some of her cyborg parts. The leotard influences come from Motoko's first season outfit in Stand Alone Complex, also pictured below it.

This is an alternate costume for Motoko. No real explanation here, I hadn't drawn a cowboy costume before and I thought it would be interesting and cute.
