Let me guess, you came to the white rabbit hole so it can give you a lore-friendly Changli mod, with quality changes but not swearing with the base Art Direction or her base design? Well, you knocked at the right door! Before going into the specifics I have to be honest with you : I was working on that one since a long long time because there were many challenges to beat. But I think I can finally give you a final version, or at least the first one that ended up to get me (and my wife) both fully satisfied!     

• Heavy rework of her eyes, no more strange circle patterns. Make place for burning eyes!
• Slight different hair color (With less blue hue, it now tends to be way closer to her team icon)
• Hair color area rework (Back of skull more saturated / pending locks with progressive gradient, Her ponytail now has more gradients)
• New Eyelid make-up (shade), like the grown-up flirtatious character she is afterall!
• Rework of her shoulder Phoenix feather tattoo (goes red-ish, more accurate, different shapes)
• Heavy rework of her outfit (without changing the color scheme)
• Removing of steel buttons on her coat arm/shoulder parts (I found it weird, too much of a motorbike club mood which felt off here)
• Her choker/collar and her leg stockings have the same new "hole" patterns that look like dancing flames
• Her shoes have been reworked to fit better the color scheme (more complexity)
• Addition or fix of golden areas (for instance, her ribbon has a part that was supposed to be gold but there was a glitch in its texture)
• A separate mini mod reworks her umbrella's color to fit better my darker take
• Her 3D model was edited to fix an asymetry within her breasts area, and her tacet mark position that was a bit too low
• Some vanilla mistakes corrected (bad texture mapping)
  

     So when I started a long time ago, I first had the idea of a "darker" Changli who had the same general color scheme but without any white and a lot of blacks instead. Why the same color scheme and not just turn her flame in blue, green or whatever? Because it's already dope. Kuro really did well with Changli. It's pure win I mean there are almost all my favourite colors and yes on the other side may be some mods can give you new colors/sfx/outfit instead of that flaming red/orange combo but I think it would be a loose. Changli base design and color scheme is too good to be drastically turned upside down and I hope you will all love what I did with her outfit, it took me huge time and many tries to find the right proportions, the right gradients at the right places. Sometimes here some blacks, some other times here some whites, or no more red-brownish color on her coat, or cutting the new flame shapes, and yes... maintaining the quality on all the golden writings/signs at all time. In the end I couldn't do white-less Changli. Something was off without it, so I slowly injected it back. Final result is a feeling you have some ash clouds over her flame patterns and I love it.

     I also tried to change her hair color for ages, trying plain white (wasn't bad), full black, wine, blonde, purple, etc. and I thought the original color was already the best choice or almost the best choice. So I substracted some blue to gain a warmer pink color. Don't get me wrong this is not just that and there are still a nice bunch of edits on her haircut, mainly new delimited areas for gradients. I didn't like the fact it was too white at some places, and logically the roots on the back of her skull should have been colored.

     About the breasts... Yeah you have the vanilla files if you don't want my model changes but hear me out first! Base is not good, I know girl's boobs are rarely perfectly symetrical but at this rate the poor girl had a tumor or something. So I had to put my plastic surgeon skills on for a while to fix that. She lost around 6-7% of her breast volume. Guys c'mon it's not that much for the gain of better curves! A bit less quantity for much more quality!

     Finally I never liked her eyes. I don't know what the heck they tried to do. May be somekind of a golden naruto rinnegan... feels odd. I didn't have to look far to imagin those burning irises lit on during her resonnance liberation. I manually painted them myself from 0.
