Part 106: Bonus Material: Concept Art Bonanza

What an art dump I'll of shit I'd been sitting on but keep forgetting to add? 'course you do!

Serge:


Serge Concept Art - Actually used in-game in the Game Over screen. I ought to post that one of these days.


"My thumbs down was a twofold response-a sign of derision at being called a silent hero and a signal of my complete understanding of the mission orders."


Pictured above: Serge stoned out of his gord. Pictured below: Serge - angry drunk.


A few early Serge character sketches.

Kid:


Kid's Portrait Artwork - She's one of the few characters that doesn't just use their main character art as a portrait too.


Kid with a bad sunburn art.


Near final Kid sketch - All that is left is to make that skirt about five inches shorter.


Alternate color scheme for Kid - Before she decided bright red was definitely the way to go for being a thief.


Alternate Kid design - In some bizarro dimension where she was 95% less slutty dressed.


Early Kid sketches - Slightly more in-line with her Radical Dreamers' design.


Slightly more hoboish Kid design. She appears to be wearing plastic bags for shoes.

Lynx:


Drafts of Lynx striking a pose and coping a feel.


Lynx just loves hugs with old friends.


Early, significantly less (and more) cat-like designs for Lynx.

Miscellaneous characters:


The late Pierre.


NeoFio rocking a mean wedgie. Practicing vile tentacle techniques.


Draggy's dead eyes stalk its prey.


Sneff: Still hoboing it up a notch.


Pip the Pokémon.


Some alternate Guile designs from back when he actually mattered worth a damn to the plot.


A rather ugly ass early Harle design.


Korcha: Now featuring a loin cloth. Hey...it's a step up from a Speedo.


Early Fargo rockin' a beard and Cloud Strife's hairdo.


Leena: Socks Bandages and sandals are never appropriate.


Norris: Actually wearing a jacket which fits him.


Alternate, far more samurai looking early Radius designs.


Sneff: Ugly as sin even in early development.


Proto-Van featuring an even stupider looking hat.

Unused Enemies:


Harpy-like creature.


A cousin of the weird, ugly later evolved Metroids.


Oh, Japan...

Unused Characters:

Yes, despite having a clusterfuck final total of 45 characters, the original designs included 65 in total. Here's some left on the cutting room floor:


Apparently, this was some robotic puppet type guy that you could swap-out parts to change his weapons and stats. Couldn't have any crazy unique traits like that. Axe.


A baker's daughter fighting with the mighty baguette of legend.


Goddamn ninjas are in everything. They're as bad as zombies.


A few more mermaid type folk. Umlauts optional.
