Megathread: Character Concept Art

Posting these here from the discord.

Mercury girl (main character) on the left will be getting an update to her outfit- but otherwise, Jupiter boy (main character) is in the middle and Venus man (party member) is on the right. I'll just update this post as I work on them more and as more character info comes out (in regards to if any will be non-human) but I wanted to get them here on the forum before I forgot. :-)


UPDATE 11/8/2018:

I'm digging the tan skin real heavily


don't ask why


Lol, but for real, I really like the tan skin one. I personally think that's the way we should go.

Nice art btw, it's really good

Still gonna want to point out - while Race is rather flexible, we should be more picky with ethnicity. Those tend to be far more localized/based on geography, so odds are likely that the ethnicity we choose for one character is going to be the dominant ethnicity of the land. This isn't modern day USA, after all - it's medieval fantasy, before they've really begun to integrate with one another. I don't think there should only be one - we should at least show neighboring ethnic groups, after all - but this is a really big part of worldbuilding, and it's important to look at what kind of locale the setting of the game takes place in before we assign solid skin color.

I mean, based on the lattitude/longtitude, geographic region and biomes, we could have any kind of ethnicity for the characters - best to follow the neutral approach anime takes for now, until we figure out where in the world this take place in.

i like the tan skin personally. makes sense with her character. she grew up in a port town and shes a merchant. shes gonna be spending a lot of time outside and on the water in merchant ships or something similar. it would make sense that the people who grow up in this area are darker. i think it makes her more interesting as well as dark skinned characters are rare in jrpgs

firedjinn : I'd like to see what Mars girl is like in armor. What's she look like wearing it?

Not gonna lie,a proxian mars girl would be dope. She looks really cool in firedjinn's concept art

Here's a bit of concept art for the Mars Girl. I tried making a design that could potentially fit with most if not all written designs for a battle warrior/support character.
The quality is a little less than the original sketch, being a photograph and having to downsize to fit the 1MB attachment limit.

For the sake of clarity, the armour is designed as leather with chain mail underneath. However that's neither here nor there as if this design is chosen the armour can of course be changed to plate. And likewise, the chain mail can be swapped for a gambeson.
