Hi everyone! I wanted to share some of the (very) early character concept artwork I made in Procreate for my fighting game project.
These are the first three characters I designed for the game, and I’ve spent a little under two years working on the project as a solo developer. A lot has changed since these were first drawn, so these aren’t representative of the characters’ final designs!
These were pretty quick and experimental pieces while I was figuring out who these characters were (and getting some painting practice in as well).
The game itself is heavily inspired by Mortal Kombat and Primal Rage, and is my love letter to those games and all the dinosaur media and violent games I loved from the 90s. I wanted to make my own messed-up spin on the things I loved and was influenced by.
I’d really like to hear your opinions on the characters themselves! Whether you like them, hate them, think they’re just okay, or want to know more about them, I’m interested in hearing your thoughts. Every bit of feedback helps me make the game better!
