The Girls of Vendetta (An artwork thread)

Each week, a new character will be featured from the different Vendetta games. I'll also be holding a poll at the end to see who I should submit for the character sketch contest. All sketches were done with a number 2 pencil, a sheet of paper and a digital camera.


Week 2:

Vendetta: Trash Dynamite

Alice Tan

At 17 years old...

Description Alice at 17 is a much simpler girl than the other girls in the Vendetta games at her age (compared to Shura, or Jin Lee), but no doubt more mature. Her fashion sense iss just simple and just as pleasing. Unlike Shura, she's less lively and concerns herself a lot with the more serious matters of life. That isn't to say she didn't have a soft side- she would've never ever hurt a fly. And this kindness was probably what appealled to Reuben.

She was at her third year of college with her lover Reuben when she goes away to God knows where. The apple of Reuben's eye becomes a powerful, diabolical and ruthless insurgent controlling a multi-million dollar company within a span of 5 years. Why? Who knows. All I can say is, well, a lot more than her taste in clothes has changed...

At 23 years old...

(Alice in the final boss fight while falling off a building... I might use this as the battler actually... hmm.)[/CENTER]

Description: Reuben meets Alice once again back in his hometown, but a lot has changed about her. Like Reuben, she fights for a cause and uses her wits and brains instead of weaponry to dispatch her enemies. She leads a band of international criminals (as identified by INTERPOL) in an insurgency. It's assymetric, but this time, the rebels have the advantage over the government.

Designer's notes: I wanted to draw Alice in one of those Ghost in the Shell moments, where the heroine (or villainess) jumps off the building. This boss fight'll probably be limited to 10 turns where you have to defeat alice and figure out how to stop yourself from hitting the floor and going splat! lol. I also wanted a "hell hath no fury" look for her, so voila. Reuben's gonna be in big trouble.

As for her clothes, she's wearing a really really really low cut (back) black formal party gown, black high heeled pointy boots and a white scarf. Yes she's become quite the bitch- a high class one. Is there still a soft side in there? You'll just have to play to find out. And yes, she's a bit shorter than Shura because Alice is Singaporean whereas Shura is a dual citizen XD.

P.S. So the camera was being really really shitty, I'll get a better picture once I get hold of a scanner.

Week 1:
Vendetta: Trash Dynamite

Shura


http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/1358/shuracl1.png[/img]

Description: Ever since the incident at Shang Hotel, Shura has strengthened her resolve. Her control over her SATORI has also progressed acutely. She is a capable college girl who lived with her mother in an apartment in the middle of the city. Normally bubbly and friendly, she's learned to adapt a no non-sense approach when it comes to survival. She carries a fully automatic glock with a really long magazine. In league with Microcosm, Shura's about to take on the ZSC head on- and do whatever it takes to restore peace back to the city, even give up her own life.

Designer's notes: She's your typical liberal preppy with pink hair to boot - the modern idealistic protagonist. She does have a fashion sense (all the Vendetta girls do) and quirky dialogue. Oh and she's supposed to die at the end of Trash Dynamite through suicide. That way she establishes peace between Microcosm and the ZSC. This isn't a spoiler because it's apparent everyone from both sides get annihilated. And i'm not sure whether I'll continue TD anyway. Overall, she's a cute and realistic character- tragedy when she dies (along with Hikawa).

I like it. Very stylish looking yet not over the top like some other designs can get especially in video games. Especially with girls. You could see a girl wearing this in real life.

EDIT: What's up with her shoes? I think some highheeled boots would work better, then again then it's not so preepy anymore.

LoL thanks for the compliments Lene. I agree, boots would actually be better than shoes... especially when running away from giant robots and stuff :lol:

But preppies can wear high heeled boots, as long as they wear pants ^_^

e.g. white short coat, a decent top, white pants, and black high heeled boots, it works quite well

P.S. I agree. I hate it when artists make tacky female character designs thinking they're cool. Especially when it's all schoolgirls =_=

Oversleeping, the #1 cliché'd opening for any RPG.
That how my day beings everyday...

Anyhows, the drawin' looks nice, and you've done some nice penciling, but I think it could use a little coloring. At a look at the picture, the girl I'd expect to be blonde, but the screen shot tells a different story. Also, the room doesn't look like a girls room. Where is the clothes everywhere, or the posters of men on the walls, or the overstuffed teddy bears? The one in the screen shot looks rather hospital-esque. Never mind that this is the wrong forum for the commenting on the screenshot... But.. Eh.. "Artistically speaking"..

I dunno what to say really.

Aww shucks, thanks. No time to colour them at the moment. Maybe in future features...

O_O a preppy girl's room? clothes everywhere? posters of men on the walls?

I mean yeah maybe the overstuffed teddy bears but those other things ':|
 
The artwork is great! But as i see in most artists(even myself), there are some outfit fold errors. Specially the left arm of shura, the folds on the elbow part looks like it was scribbled on.. :D

I KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!!

"WHO GIVES A HOLY-LOVELY-SEXY F*$K?!?!"

I hate when people cite cliches... the so.... pointless... :/ Tons of great games have cliche openings and/or cliche centered stories that turn into awesome, involving games.... To that point, who cares? Get over it...

Nice art, btw.
 
LOL he (stevo) enters here just to mock on your drawing -_-

The drawing is awesome. Well done, just some skechy parts but overall, it´s very good. Also I think she would look better with a brown hair.

And about the cliché thing, it´s true... But don´t give a f*ck on what he says if your story is good enough. By what i´ve read it seems interesting enough to give it a try (and the artwork too xD).

Some people play CC, FF (numbers) and other commercial games FULL of clichés and don´t bother at them, but they can´t stand silly clichés in an indie game... -_-
 
Thats a cool drawing. But I have a question. WHO LOOKS FOR A FACE IN CLOTHES? Anyways Good drawing looking forward to seeing more of this.

Actually, I had a lot to say, they were all very mean and would attack Shadow's jealousy, but I wasn't bored enough.

That's correct, trust me, I use real clothes for reference.

Anyway yes, Alice will be a bit delayed as I haven't been home often.

Well, the part where you were staring at bothered me more than your comment.

Anyway, to stave off the wait for Alice, I've posted her at age 17 and at not so good resolution. It's in the front page now if anyone hasn't seen already.

UPDATE: Alice is up there now complete with descriptions and comments, but the pic is temporary. I had to post something before vacation so there we go.
