It struck me fairly early on that due to Hani’s character design very much being what it is in order to make her more visible and able to stand out in a crowd, the idea that she’d be able to walk around Kalimdor unnoticed as-is seemed just a tad far-fetched; enough so that it struck me that even she would have to realize that. So I needed to have an outfit variant for her that was very clearly her – and very clearly something she’d come up with on her own – but at the same time it had to be obscuring enough for it to make at least some sense how she’d be able to pass a casual glance without being noticed.
Of course, due to the nature of most equipment design in World of Warcraft, most hood designs tend to be either overdesigned or look instantly suspicious; especially in the case of characters that are wearing them for the very clear and specific reason of avoiding identification or notice.
Other than that, I’ll see you over in 2012.
