Aye, as you may have seen from an older post, a character who has been in the design document for about a year now got fused into a creepy vanguard-ish looking girl with a laughing demon on her medical skirt. So yes, today, we mourn the passing of Renatta Tescadero.
RIP 2010Or do we? I got a spark of "Who cares?" and drew her again, with some differences. Yeah, after nearly losing a character design I liked quite a bit, ANOTHER character in the lineup got out of line and got destroyed. Yes, after pages and pages of background writing on characters, one of them stood out as so underwhelming that she ran into the Knife after dark. Will she be in the sequel? Will she be an NPC? Who knows, and furthermore, who cares? The character that met the Knife is... Malinda! Battle-wise she is outclassed by everyone and she brings diddley shit new to the table. So... in memoriam, here is Malinda. Wave to the crowd Malinda, exit stage right.
Let 'er ROT - 2010Fuck it, if two redesigns don't save the idea, and the character is useless, what's the point of keeping them? If she's lucky, she will be with the cast of Shattered Fates 2. But then again, this girl is a water elemental, and the main character of SF2 is going to be an ice elemental. At this point, you're probably wondering, "Hey Baroquemoon, you said you drew Renatta again! How does that look?" See for yourself!
My own shortcomings with drawing hands poorly or not at all because I hat drawing horribly incomplete or strange looking hands notwithstanding, I think this design works for a redesign. How about you?
