The finished and hopefully final rendition of the character designs for my RPG videogame, The Cradle Garth (subject of oh so many of my journal posts). These are not only the character designs, but are the character graphics that will be shown with various altered facial expressions when the characters are talking in game, because since the game is done in little sprites (click to see some of the old gamesprites), I decided it would be alot more interesting to see more detailed shots of the characters during long conversations. Hence these pictures. I've been spending so long developing a style for the game, not to mention developing the characters' images etc., because these pictures will be used alot. Alot. I want to be able to at least get an hour worth of gameplay completed before I have to redo these.

The characters featured here are the six main characters (following this picture will be the six antagonistic/supporting characters). I just stuck them on a quick background and made it wallpaper-sized, for the hell of it

Non-spoiler character bios (left to right):

Tinaemn Folswir: Haughty, prissy and almost unbearably dyspeptic, Folswir (his family name, but he preferrs it) seems to know alot about everything, despite the fact that he's merely a gardener for Caer Sobhrach. [is supposed to look slightly emaciated]

Reverki (Rheki) Regilek: Candle-maker in the city-state of Sobhrach and a baker's apprentice, Rheki is a rather light-hearted, almost goofy, down-to-earth sort of guy who cares alot about people, having fun, and good eats.

Saql Rowan: Although she was a court entertainer alongside Sarath, Saql is much more removed and careful; she now works with her father, the bellmaker. [is supposed to look slightly emaciated]

Sarath Kaledrin: She used to be a magician entertaining the court of the prince of Sobhrach, but now, rash but playful Sarath has found herself out of work and out of line.

Prince Finnegan (Finn) of Sobhrach: Young, naive, and a bit brash, Finn doesn't know very much about life, the universe or, well, anything--but that doesn't dim his shining, er... drive to help everyone.

Lord Disrail of Iraelia: Disrail's cold, pessimistic attitude is as one with the famished, bleak kingdom he tried unsuccessfully to save from elimination. [is supposed to look emaciated]

SOME OTHER IMAGES OF THEM YOU MIGHT FIND ENTERTAINING (in chronological order):

A slightly less finished version of this picture, without the sepia
What Folswir, Sarath and Finn looked like in Nov--thank god I redid them!
Never got finished... character designs/art style is now outdated
This picture was almost good enough to finish...almost
Oh man oh man oh mannn this picture is vomit. Good thing they're headless

THIS IS REALLY FUNNY: The evolution of Folswir's character design (the first image was done in 8th grade... the lastest in 11th)

PLEASE--I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO PERFECT THESE CHARACTER GRAPHICS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! ANY COMMENTS, CRITIQUES, SUGGESTIONS, PERSONAL PREFERENCES, ETC., WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED! These characters are going to be in a videogame, so I'd like to know if they look like characters you'd like to PLAY AS or GET TO KNOW in a game THANK YOU!
