Nice yeah a list or bief can help keep things on track but limiting early on. Thats rad I'm totally getting fighting game vibes from these characters with out knowing too much about the project. I hear yah tho its hard to explain this super project dependant stuff with out drawing out an actual decision tree haha

Older sketches for this fantasy scifi adventure story I had

[malcom]

3 Different color ways. Let me know what your favorite is. Current WIP

Some more details I would like to add to make this more interesting because now honestly, she kinda has a npc feel more than a main character feel. Probably going to add more branding to clothing to solidify the urban feel more.

I'll take any cool name ideas.

[cedricgo]

Nice! I feel like 2 and 3 stand out more than 1, and I think I have a small preference for 2. But it's close. They all look good!

[brohawx]

Yea definitely two, the hot spots are in all the right areas to tell the story.

[malcom]

Thanks a lot. @cedricgo & @brohawx. After a nights rest I would have to agree. I'll be moving on with 2. Still some areas to clean up and some decals to add but will get there.

nice character design as usual ... I also tend to number two ... u maybe could give her some cool tattoos or something along those lines

[malcom]

Thank you for the feedback. I was thinking of giving her tattoos as well. Probably on one of her arms. I'm going to try a full sleeve and a half sleeve and see how that works out better.

[creARTive_Paul]

those african tribal markings also look cool and a bit intimidating at the same time

[malcom]

I'm 12hs late but yeah I was thinking of something tribal as well. @creARTive_Paul Here's a current wip along with a slight 2nd color variation. The 2nd is close to my original sketch that I never showed.

[creARTive_Paul]

yeah nice ... those tattoos really push it to the next level ... that blue hair makes also for a an interesting contrast, but I'm still more drawn to number one

[malcom]

This is almost down. Still need to clean up a few more things like the back view for example.
Still gotta do a expression sheet. I kinda wanna do some fighting sketches as well.

[creARTive_Paul]

amazing malcom ... for the fighting scenes I recomend muay thai and / or mma, they got high energy poses

[malcom]

This page needs more edits but here is the design along with a p2(player 2) design on the side. She needs a 3rd outfit to complete the design. Not sure what to do at the moment.

EDIT: I'll separate the poses and expressions actually. I have other expressions I didn't post here. I'll also have another page for here outfits. Maybe the 3rd can be more mma like to contrast the casual look and main look.

at last!!!
I found one of the founders!
Love the characters esp the mechas..!!!

[malcom]

Thank you very much. Glad you like the mecha. I have a soft spot for them.

[malcom]

Preview to what I'm working on. It's been a while since I worked on this. Hopefully I ca finally finish this project before I go on Vacation. Hopefully my next update doesn't take a month to drop.

Other character designs to come as well.

I like the character, getting some Dragon Ball resonance. I think people who like that series will find much to like in your work and feel attracted to it. Looking forward to seeing this one painted!

[malcom]

Thank you very much. I love Dragon Ball so its cool to hear that.

[malcom]

A wip I guess. I don't know what it is but for years, the gradient map method never seems to work for me. Might go back to flats and try something else or just call the flat with lines the finished version.
