Downbeat: 777 Character

777’s is a character created for the fighting game Downbeat, developed by Flyguy Interactive. I was commissioned to design the character based on their description. Initially I provided a few concept sketches for review to make sure I understood the idea of the character before refining one sketch into a final portrait. The critiques I received asked me to further emphasize the costume and personality of the character, to do this I went back to a new pose and exaggerated the proportions of the costume. A bigger hat, slimmer arms with chunky hands and weapons, and several additional opportunities for secondary animation on trailing.
