Essentia [Video Game] Character CONCEPTS ~ Hiatus

Sorry, I haven't updated in a long time, but it has something to do with:
1) My laptop with all the art files got filled with a bunch of viruses, so I had to reset everything. ;;
2) I've been lazy
3) It's a bit hard trying to recover everything, especially remaking my logo. Gosh darn it.

But, unofficial official update~ I'm revamping all of the characters' designs (on paper) atm, so they'll maybe look more awesome later on. Also taking a game design and 3D modeling class over summer, so that should help too. And... This really crappy Calypso redesign I have right now (which is because I hated Calypso's design the most out of all the ones I have for the main 5 atm): <3 because it's huge and I don't feel like cropping.
Yes, my hand writing has changed a lot since last year. I'm sorryyyy. It's on my Bio homework while we were correcting in class. I was trying a new style of drawing chibis (starting with the eyes first). And, it's not the official revamp yet. So... gg me.

New revamp concepts should come around summer if I get off my butt and do stuff, especially when I'm ungrounded. Everything will probably be chibi because I'm lazy to actually draw in proportions when concepting everything, but yeah. :D I might not be lazy and make little keychains to sell if people like the chibis... ;;

Oh, and I forgot this crappy symbol alphabet thing I made: Yeah, I cut it off because it had our names when I tried to "translate" them.
PS. I suck at making languages.

Woo! I've started redesigning the characters, one by one.
Starting with Florauna, mainly because her design only needed a little bit of tweaking here and there (mostly because the team liked her outfit a lot).
It's just a sketch at the moment, but it's colored in to show where everything will go.
A full reference should be done eventually before I move onto the next character.
My work order is going to go as such:
Florauna ---> Calypso ---> Kaipo ---> Adane ---> Rinoa ---> Enver (name changed from Hikaru) ---> main supporting ---> Desiderium ---> NPCs ---> etc.



It's a pretty crappy sketch, so it'll change a bit in the final image. I'm not even going to care about their heights at the moment, but back views will be included. This is probably going to be her official, final design (with approval from my friend who owns her already cleared), so yay!

There was actually a chibi I had somewhere (it was a really bad one on the digital that I wanted to scrap, but Florauna's owner wouldn't let me) that had the initial design that eventually changed into the one above. It looks bad in my opinion, but eh. I'll share it later.

Done! And a billion more to go.

I lied, Calypso's not next because I didn't get the email from the owner yet with what I should do for the new design, and since I didn't get Adane's either... I casually did Rinoa next. QQ

Nice! I really like how Florauna looks here! One suggestion though is the legs, they look kind of strange to me.

OMG RINOA<333

I love her design, but then again, there are a few flaws I can spot... Mainly because I'm just so picky. Her pants seem just a bit too baggy to me, but then again, as I said, I'm just too picky.

In general, I suck at legs.
I thought Florauna's looked weird, but eh... She's not super skinny, but I'll probably go back and recurve them later.

And I just like really baggy pants. QQ I've also been told Rinoa's head is a tad bit too small, and I might resize them. That and her arms still seem too short to me. But you know what? These aren't even the official images and just for concept purposes, so I'll be lazy and make sure they're the proper sizes in the actual images we'll use in-game. Haha... Yeah, I'm just super duper lazy.

I actually finished Kaipo's sketch because he shares the same owner as Florauna and she's just easier to reach than the others. It's suuuuuuper messy because I was just testing out colors (and laziness) and I'm kind of just waiting for approval. For those who don't want to be messed with and how bad it looks with all of those colors everywhere. OTL
Funny thing is, I have no clue how I managed to get through three characters already.

I still can't get into contact with the people who one Adane and Calypso, so looks like Enver is next (since he is my character... QQ) But that aside, Kaipo is done!
We have a thing for dark haired characters (that, and I suck at coloring in light hair.)
There seems to be something off about his face (probably the nose), but I'm - as usual - too lazy to fix it. </3

Well, I started sketching Adane. Waiting for approval of the design first. >-< I think she needs a Pokeball... and some Pokemon.
