Seeking help in finding a particular piece of art I recently saw

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

I've attempted to manually comb through some loose searches (only a couple generalized, but targeted, tags) as well as performing some more strict searches. However, I can't seem to even locate art of the character at all. I have no idea who the character is, or where they're from, nor can I remember where I saw the art originally (probably while doomscrolling Twitter/X at work, tbh).

To kick this off, here's the tags that apply, as well as descriptions why, as best as I can figure. I've already tried targeting these though, and no results:

1girl
solo
Used these to help make thumbnails more readable, so I didn't have to open as many posts while searching. Character is female though.

collared_leotard
long_sleeves
zipper
The character is wearing a white leotard top. It has a collar, long sleeves, and zips down the front. The zip goes from the top of the collar down to at least the navel area. The character wears the zipper open down to just under the breasts. For additional clarity- The material the leotard is made of is more reminiscent of a jacket.

detached_leggings
The character is wearing a pair of black detached leggings that start from the thighs, and go down to the ankles. They are of a lighter material (think like t-shirt material, or slightly lighter), and flare slightly towards the bottom (as in, the bottoms flare out while the thigh part is skin-tight).

boots
The character wears what appear to be black boots, the aforementioned leggings cover most of their presence (mostly just the toe segment sticking out).

Any help on this endeavor would be greatly appreciated. I wish I could remember more about the piece of art I saw, but so many things that could be useful for tagging are escaping my memory... If you happen to just outright know the character, that'd be amazing. Otherwise, if you have any suggestions for improving my tagging efforts in my search, that'd be appreciated nonetheless. Thank you in advance!

There seem to be many characters wearing this outfit, if that's not it you could try searching "alice_gear_aegis white_leotard" and see if you find what you're looking for.

Nah, the collar and sleeves are part of the leotard (not stacked clothing layers like in that post). Her top is like if you took a collared bodysuit, cut the legs off to make the typical leotard V-shape, but made it out of the material a track jacket is made of. I'm having trouble finding any examples of this type of clothing at all, which means I'm poorly tagging my searches.

Also, the leggings flare towards the bottom, mostly covering the boots (whereas that linked post has thigh-highs). Examples showing what I mean about the leggings:

The leggings are basically completely plain though, no frilled ends or extra bits like armor etc.

Always assume that the post doesn't have anything beyond the most basic tags. If you can't find it with a certain tag combination, try removing instead of adding.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the tagging system is that it is reliant on each tagger's knowledge/willingness to tag. By that I mean, I've been uploading artworks for years, but every once in a while I find tags that I have always ignored.
