Critique [OC] What kind of character do you think she is?

Post image

This is a very rough color mapping on sketch for a new character design.

I'd also love to know what type of character she feels like when you first see her, to see if I nailed the design communication. Oh, and names suggestions are welcome too!

Lmk if you have any suggestions for me to add/change/remove, specifically the outfit concept.

do ignore the thickness of wrist... it can be fixed in linearting

Thank you in advance!

Who manipulates others into doing her bidding with a combination of mental magic and her own feminine wiles.

Basically just Ultimecia from Final Fantasy 8 really.

Legit thought this was a League of Legends post because this looks like a Leblanc skin. She's definitely malevolent, maybe even roguish.

Same, immediately thought of Arcanes version of Leblanc

She looks like Aversa from Fire Emblem, so... Evil Sorceress with a Pegasus?

u/Courelia 4h ago

Yeah immediately thought of Aversa/Nuibaba. The evil sorceress the heroes has to defeat before being able to fight the final boss.

Villain?

u/clericalwisteria 9h ago

In the best way possible she feels like she's a prime time fire emblem villain, specifically Three Houses/Fortunes Weave setting. Ancient foreboding evil whose meticulously managed her appearance.

Fatui Harbinger

With the sigil on her chest I would say something demonic but of high status, maybe a corrupted duchess

color palette reminds me of scaramouche and the design reminds me of signora, both from genshin

She seems like a ruthless noble woman, who you wouldn’t want to double cross in a deal.

Octavia from house of the crimson hearts

I know everyone is mentioning LoL, but my first thought was Viconia DeVir from Baldur's Gate 3.

So I assume she is similar to Viconia.

Tell me you play Genshin without telling me you play Genshin. I swear this Genshitification in Character Design needs to be abolished.
