April 11th Update

This one took a bit longer than the others, but its something a little different this week:

This is a more general concept for an area, the Garden of remembrance, its an entire district onto itself, almost like a part, but all the walls are lined with Gravestones like this, each one will have a name and date on it, but I just ran out of time this week.

There is a wall next to the Jervis center in Dublin that was a big inspiration for this, the area used to be part of a church and the graveyard attached to it, but as the city grew the church was turned into a restaurant and the graves were cleared. But instead of disposing of the stones, they were propped against a wall as a kind of memorial, which looks very cool.

Anyway that’s it for this week, the progress list is as follows:

• Character Concepts
  • Background extras:42/42
  • Main Characters: 13/13
  • Main character re-designs: 5/5
  • Secondary Character: 14/14
  • Secondary Character re-designs: 5/5
• Weapon Concepts
  • Main Characters: 12/12
  • Secondary Characters: 7/7
  • Weapon Redesigns: 4/4
• Scene Concepts
  • Interiors: 0/24
  • Landmarks:4/15
  • Exteriors:39/39

October 16th Update

Our last cast character for a while, with Violet Lila here we have everyone I need for the first episode or two:

I wanted her appearance to reflect Ebony’s, who has a black bird theme, Violet’s is based more around bats, so part of her appearance is based on a mix of Ebony’s design and the main character from Ultraviolet, batman beyond also played a little influence in the shape of the wings

From here on out I’m going to work on some of the less important details, mainly extras for each district of the city, to speed up the process I’ve decided to use a template image as a base I’ll trace the design over, luckily I’ve found a turn around image that the original creator Yumezaka has allowed people to use as a reference, which I am super grateful for. I’ll be using these two images:

This one for Female character designs
And This one for Male Character Designs

More then anything else I’m going for speed with the extras, they aren’t very important, and shouldn’t be noticed much by the audience, so I don’t want to waste too much time on the. I want to have about six designs for both male and female for each district, with about three colour variations in each, so I have room to add a few for crowds, although I might lower that number for less populated areas.
I’ll be starting with an area called the Otherkin Business district.

Till next time,
