#redesigning video game characters

[artist-ellen]

Princess Peach!

Technically the “classic princess” dresses are maybe closer to mantuas with their hip-fabric buttt…. I can’t stand my attempts at drawing them so I followed the puffy sleeve trail and went for a 1830s inspired gown instead. I didn’t change much on the hair and crown side of things however so hopefully she’s still a little recognizable? As a kid Super Smash Bros was really the only video game I got to play (well I guess there was crash bandicoot as well but you can’t really redesign a polar bear in historic fashions…) so I’m fairly partial to Peach and Zelda, who were the two characters I played with practically exclusively. I’ve been thinking about doing some more video game characters so let me know if you’re interested in seeing any of them!

You see, I’m actually insane.

Here’s some redesigns.

Been on a Super Mario kick lately, and decided to make my own spin on the characters. Obviously, the brothers were up first. More to come, probably.

Ok so... i'm thinking about remaking also this 2 thumbnails. I made them really simple cause i wanted to fit with the more comical and vintage visual of the game (aaaaand i was in a hurry in that period when i had to making them AHAAHAH) but at the same time i feel i can try something else with them. Maybe it's cause i'm just curious of doing another version :D. For the first Portal gameplay, i still like keeping a more chip artstyle like that! WE'LL SEE (Yeah it's just cause i wanna make some draws about Portal and i'm feeling strange cause my videogame hunger goes to Portal 2, to Sonic games that i always wanted to get deep into them, Monster Hunter, see the new monster for the new game makes me crazy, and the willing of continue Ghost Trick) Of course also my art desire follow my game passion so. Anyway, what you all think about this two thumbnails? There are a lot of things i wanna correct and change. OBV I WANT ALSO CRITIQUE :3

OK I NOTICE IT NOW, I MADE THE FIRST GLADOS FACE LOOKS LIKE A COOKED EGG... the problem it's that i still like it in that way lol.

oh also, take a little Wheatley Vinyl that i made for the video about Drawing the thumbnail for Portal 2

How much of the kid icarus cast have you drawn? I love all your drawings of the pits :]

Oh! A question! Wasn't expecting that! Well since you asked...

Here's the WIP of Viridi (who I honestly had less to do as opposed to the weird stall out I've had with Palutena) Expect em soon!

I will say I will probably post some more sketches of characters and drop off on the Kid Icarus posting for a second to write up/ doodle the vision for my imagined sequel RE:UNION that all this has spurred from. I do hope ya like the what's to come and enjoy my other stuff coming too!

Thanks for asking :)

Hi! I made a fan redesign of Razor from genshin :3

Before anyone comes for me (because of the drama thats been going on recently with all the mlp redes and stuff) no I don't think mine is in any way better than the original, simply because that one is just too iconic, I mean he's been in the game since the very beginning cmon. (site also fucked the quality of the image up like balls deep but whatever)

[myachiart]

first off, i just wanna say that i love tales of vesperia sm i'd play it over and over again if i had the time. i love making theories about it, making skits in my head, etc. This princess is a great character who excellently dodged being a mary sue in her universe, though the way she responds to easily traumatic situations is a bit suspicious... anyways, redesigning estelle's outfit was harder than i thought it'd be because i wanted it to be (somewhat) believeable for combat yet have a floral, princess-y vibe to it. i also knew i wanted to redesign the boots even though i'm not experienced with drawing shoes much because the original pair is just... well, it was something else. i liked her underdress (?) so i kept that, just making the bottom "petals" flare out more. her midsection is a bit busy, but i really liked the rouged shirt and corset combo i gave her. also she has a braided "crown" in her hair bc she's royal huehehe. if i gushed about the meaning behing every detail i'd be typing all night, and i've got homework.

Corin Wickes Redesign

It took a long time, but here they are!

[gus-dix]

my silly roots of pacha guys! purple and green hair is really just stylized black for fun

'geren' is green with a typo, 'rana' is frog in italian, and 'moz' is moss written weird. i'm a pro at giving names

Rosalina

I’m no where near as familiar with Rosalina, but wanted to challenge myself a little with some regency fashion. Or 1808 fashion to be more technical about it. Empire waistlines all the way. Again her hair, crown, and general color palette are kept the same so she's mostly the same character. What would you tell me about the Super Mario 'verse?

You ever wondered how Kyle would look with a blue color scheme?

My first 5 Concord character redesigns (or fixes): Bazz, DaVeers, Kyps, Lark and It-Z! Some of them were altered more (Bazz), and some didn't need too many changes (Kyps). Had to do some work on adjusting values, making colors more pleasant, giving them more interesting poses, and changing clothes. Sketches made for my youtube channel.

A illustration I made for my girlfriend of Jak and Daxter. She really loved the game and busted out her PS2 andwas playing it all the time so I made this design for her and also got it printed out on a shirt for her.
