sidekick update

sidekick skin development

Sidekick colour palettes

dress colour 

skin tones - non normal colours to make her appear more damaged and not quite human. here without coloured clothes i think she kind of looks like a nurse...so she could develop into having needles and stuff to jab enemies/tresspassers at rather than a knife.

character sidekick development

To come up with head/outfit combinations i made a bunch of 'paper dolls' before going over them a bit in photoshop . 

it was helpful in getting different designs out .

character: sidekick development - face, mask, clothing, extras

trying out different mask designs, hairstyles, and clothing. and also the possibility of her having leg braces or hand/feet alterations as a result of being reconstructed into robotic form poorly. clothing/mask/etc combinations to come next

Character sidekick development

Decided initially to make the sidekick a little girl who was either a sibling etc to the hero character however figured that it would be more interesting to make her villain sidekick. she is a little girl originally from the planet earth who wound up on the villains planet. The villain adopted and changed parts of her to be robotic and help aid her. She is fast agile and can be a trickster and fool the hero at times leading him into traps etc.

Character: Sidekick Variations

To avoid creating a love interest out of the female sidekick i've looked into designing a child or sister, or an elderly mentor type person.

Character: Hero designs 2

Some variations of an initial design, of the hero character as a bulky guy who wears animal skins/fur, long hair, and in touch with nature as oppose to technology. 

Character: Villain ideas 2

some more villain designs for the cyborg queen character based off of initial drawings. most designs include her having long medusa-like/ H. R Giger-esque cybernetic pipes for hair, with possibly vicious robotic snake-like creatures on the ends. they would probably hold some kind of fluid to keep her alive etc.
