Characters

I was looking forward to designing my character and yet not looking forward to it at the same time. I knew from the concept of my game that my characters were human and so I did not have a lot of leeway with their design. I had to keep them looking completely normal. In fact the only abnormal thing about my protagonist's design was the body-suit that he and another couple of the characters wore. The transmutation body-suit, or as the characters nick-name it the 'mute-suit'. Though I had a vague idea of how I wanted it to look I was completely free with how I could design it, my only constraint was that it had to be skin-tight so that the characters could wear it under their normal clothes. So I began with the task of the 100 silhouettes. Many of them looked ridiculous or at least nothing that would look like an actual body-suit because as with the pod's; I had to remember that these suits had to have a practical backing. They had to look like they had been designed by scientists instead of just a suit that a gymnast would wear. Several of them did begin to appeal and I ended up with 6 that I liked the look of enough to work on further...

My next step would be to add colour and work out what these materials the suits would be made of.
