"Character Design Opinions?: 11+" , posted Sat 13 Apr 22:04

After some disorganization, I've started working on the official bios for the extras in SCF. First up:

Name: Sara Belle Leon
Gender: Female
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 102 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Hazel
Birthdate: October 31, 1983 (story is April 2006)
Nationality/Ethnicity: Mexican American
Status: Programming/Electrical Teacher
Favorite Food: Pumpkin
Hobbies: Playing videogames, Watching television with her brother

Sara teaches programming and electrical engineering at Byutenbroot High School. She has had a major role in her brother Alberto's life. Despite her weak physical frame, she served as his sparring partner as he studied martial arts. Sara's always been there for moral support and gaming competition. She currently has their basement rigged up as a game room with an eight foot video screen.

Appearance: White blouse. Indigo suspenders. Navy blue floor length skirt. Black loafers. Dark brown thick rimmed glasses.

Failed Scripts:

Toad : I'm sorry Mario but the princess is in another castle.
Mario: Screw this. I'm going home to order a pizza.

I can't draw and don't have a reliable artist so with the exception of two pics that I made specific requests for, there are none.

Yes, Byutenbroot is a pun (I actually have alot but some are more obvious than others). Beauty and Brute strentgh are what the school combines due to its reliable arts and sports curriculums. It also has the most lenient (nonexistant) dress code in the school system.

More characters and stuff later. BTW, justicekyo, were you here to read the past SCF stuff?

What is this character design for? I'm an illustration major if you need any help with concept sketches. She seems like an interesting character.

A fighting game titled Student Combat Fighter that takes place in a high school tournament. Sara is not a playable character but she and many other NPCs deserves bios due to how story driven the games is. Some NPCs become playable later in the series. Sara's brother is a fighter and one of the main characters.

New bio:

Name: Fredrico Sissicran
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 158 lbs
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Birthdate: February 14, 1980
Nationality/Ethnicity: French
Status: Drama Teacher
Favorite Food: Roasted veal covered with sauteed mushrooms, Red wine
Hobbies: Looking in mirrors, Dating, Gracing others with his beauty

"Vain" would be an understatement in describing Fredrico. A former model for his own line of men's cologne, he decided to pass on his acting skills to the next generation. Though he is a relatively nice guy, most people are sick of his egotistical comments such as "Everyone loves Fredrico". In his free time, he sometimes hangs out with Jerome Blade.

Appearance: Expensive business suits that vary with his mood. Clean shaven face. Loose hair that comes down past his shoulders.

Is this a real project you're working on, or something else?

Character designing is hard. Coming up with a new character that is really cool looking and isn't a blatant rip-off of previous characters is pretty hard. I fight that sort of thing all the time when doing character designs for my friend. <he does RPGs>

It's real--just no programming has been started due to planning and building programming skill.

Character design has its difficulties but I find myself being more and more original by the day. At times I use an overused archetype and add a unique twist to it. Sometimes being the nerd with no life has its advantages.

There's been a few neat character designs that my friend has come up with over time. It's not too hard to get something original, but making it both original and cool is harder.

Any info about the game? It's seems pretty cool. I see that there was an older thread on it, but it's gone now.

Sounds like an interesting and complex system. I wouldn't want to be the artist for the sprites in this game though... *whew* That's a lot of art with so many variations and then multiply it be the number of costumes each char has. Maybe you should go the route of 2D vector art instead of bitmap.

Have you thought about going the route of Glove on Fight and adding a "Super Arts Interrupt" ? Where the pause in the Super activation can be used by the opponent to input his own Super, and then they'll both come out at the same time.

It's going to be 3D models on a 2D plane.

Even though Cel-shading has been kinda overdone, I think this would actually be a very good use for it.

Thank god it's 3D characters. That can more easily be realistically made and different costumes and whatnot aren't hard to do.

I had some time to kill so I whipped up a quick and dirty design. I changed her clothes because I don't see an electrician wearing a full length dress. I also added a toolbelt. What kind of game is this anyway? A fighting game? Do you have any experienced 3-d artists? Doing 3-d models is very difficult... anyway here's my design- Link Here

He he, cute. Her previous design is purposeful, though. The dress is because she is a nerd and a teacher. Another note is that she is freakishly lanky. 5'11" and 102 lbs? Vega (Balrog Jap) is 6'1" and Juni weighs 101 lbs.

All design stuff is being carefully planned out since you should do as much planning as possible before starting. however, considering we are beginners, consider this sort of like a reality show: watch a game get developed before your eyes. Not now, but I will need help on the extras in the cast considering the importance of the storyline and the very fact that there will be a character edit mode.

Saving pic now...
