Description Restarted one of my projects. So heres another new character design, for my new project idea lol.

Her name is Zetsume. She symbolises despair and entrapment. A complete opposite of Aiko [link]

Zetsume weilds dual hand guns that are attached to chains, which symbolise being locked and caged with no freedom. As opposed to Aiko's silhouette of wings. She also wears blue, her favorite colour. Showing that unlike Aiko, she embraces her own existence.

Zetsume's sense of being trapped and caged is because shes binded to her duties since creation. Zetsume comes to envy Aiko's freedom.

The crosses on Zetsume's clothing are because.. my initial idea for Aiko was that she was a vampire(or vampire related anyways). But now... I seem to need a new reason lol besides that "ohh I think it looks nice like that "

I think that covers the main points, anymore and it'll be too much text lol.

another awesome character design and concept! <3 i really love the limited use of color in both images, and the weapons for both too... again i'm kinda at a loss for words, i really hope you do more with this project as it sounds awesome.

RB-Illustration [2009-04-12 13:42:27 +0000 UTC]

I like how you put so much thought into every aspect of her design. ^^ It looks really dynamic and striking with the use of just two colours.

Zetsubou = Despair
Zetsume = Death

Dr. Death?

MightyLeafy In reply to Archaois [2009-04-13 10:56:07 +0000 UTC]

Aww damn. I thought Zetsume would be like a derivative of "Zetsubou", since zetsubou doesn't sound as good for a name

Hmm, I'm gonna have to think about that then, thanks for the heads up

Archaois In reply to MightyLeafy [2009-04-13 12:26:04 +0000 UTC]

I only knew that because I watched "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" main character's name, when squeezed together gives you Zetsubou, his brother, who is a docter, when his name is squeezed together, gives you Zetsume, Dr. Death, how horrible. But at least it helped you, surprisingly.

This is so beautiful. Even though you restricted this image to only have 2 colors, that was enough for you to show enough detail and the complexity of the design. Its so awesome!
