Difference between revisions of "Designs in Progress"

Revision as of 06:14, 6 July 2014

Here in this fleeting, ethereal page, character designs appear as they're in progress and disappear as they're finished! Click for larger resolutions!

Eris Kenos

• The big bad approaches! Though she takes the form of an angel of light, she's not what she seems...
• A and E are clear leaders to me with the imposing armor and noble-looking clothes, though B and D have their good points with the abstract patterns, constellation patterns, and giant ring thingy!

Jig Starlight

• Genki girl genius! Loves thigh highs, colorful things, cute things, girly things, and science!
• This one's gonna be rough because every single design here has a lot of stuff I really like... Just at first glance:
• A/B/C goggles are best
• Either bare neck like E or open collar like A/D; C collar feels too restricted (though I can feel myself changing my mind even as I type this)
• D can get away with bare shoulders but B can't for some reason; think it's because her neck is more open in B, plus her top is unzipped
• Speaking of which, really really really don't like B's zipper top (C's zipper shorts are fine though)
• C/E probably have the best "skirts," but B the worst
• Jigsaw puzzle theme of D somehow actually works other than maybe her bracelets (since then they feel like shackles)
• B's stockings also work but C's and E's don't; one's too simple, the other too nebulous
• Alternating colors of A's stockings work as a concept, but not those colors specifically
• Probably best to use one out of green and yellow but not both (it was my mandate to try both, didn't quite work out) since C and E have the best color balances by abandoning yellow
• Really like C's big open boots for some reason, like wise C's big open gloves
• E's shorts are cool and C's shorts pretty good, A/B/D not so much
• Not sure what's up with the key theme in C/D and I don't know how I feel about it
• B/C tops feel a little cluttered to me with all her stuff, but better to do that than go overly empty like A; E's top also works well with lots of contrasting complex patterns

Mina ... modeling the standard Imperial Soldier uniform!

• A covert ops specialist in the Empire! Like Lash and Faray, she has an excellent track record that gives her great autonomy. Unlike them, she chooses to wear a standard uniform.
• Keeping nothing from E except maybe the armband
• Almost surely going with A's skirt
• No knee armor, probably no elbow armor
• Puffed-out sleeve cuffs like A/C/D are good

Minori Tsukimiya

• Ha ha... there's so much love and creativity in this round but a lot of it is probably going to go away since it's really hard to tell what kind of character she is from looking at her. xD That's probably my fault!
• Round 1 complete, awaiting round 2

Star

• Based loosely on Kirby! Though she looks like a magic user and all-around adorable girl, she's actually a powerful physical fighter who can master any weapon! Out of Cotelle's superheroes, she's the fifth strongest. However, Celty (despite scoring a fairly quick victory against her) acknowledges Star as a top-tier fighter who would have potential to surpass her if she didn't treat battle like a game. (Ardis: "Ah, I hear ya. It's just like with our Jelia... You had to practice your core skills, but understanding how to grow stronger would feel unnatural for someone who instantly masters weapons." / Leaf: "That's the impression I got too. She knows her weapons completely, but still needs to refine her own body.")
• Another one who's going to be super tough. B and C probably have the largest number of elements with a chance to go the distance into her final design, but A, D, and E all have their strong points as well!
• I love the cute positioning of her foot. <3

Tango Moonlight

• Flamboyant and naive bard! This round already finished, awaiting next...

Winter

• The calm, confident, and (quietly) cheerful one of her sisters!
