Description
Remember when I last said that I'm going to relax and experiment?This is one of those attempts.
I was inspired by the game Eversion by Guilherme S. Tows, and I will make as many character pixel arts as the worlds in Eversion (will not tell you how many because of spoilers--but then again eventually you'll get spoiled (?)).
For every single pixel art, I always have a concept for them.
First off is Iris, inspired by the first world of Eversion.
I decided to do a redesign of her because I think that while her design is nice and unique, it stands out a tad bit too much, and I never liked the MMX designers' rampant accessorization of characters. Also, her skirt looks uncomfortable to sit in, so I replaced it with armour and added an actual skirt/dress.
I tried my best to create a design that will fit in with most MMX designs, while still remaining unique. I think it succeeds, and shows Iris's personality better.
Took me about 90mins to make this one. eue but I'm proud of it. So proud of it.
Left: "Canon" colours
Right: Eversion world colours

Ooh! Eversion is a game I played (but never again, too scary) and actually liked. Gameplay was pretty good and challenging, and who doesn't like a good... surprise at the end?
On the other hand, pixel art goals (except not really... Threshold?)

Where did you stop at? Did you beat it?
What do you mean by threshold?

I managed to beat it after a while, but sadly got the ending where I became monster chow. Normally, after finding out there were other endings, I would have tried again, but for this game? Hahaha, yeah right. I already lost enough sleep that week, thank you very much.
I mean, it's very good pixel art (hence the use of 'goals' as internet speak for 'I like this') but my actual goals are different. But it's still a quality to aim for, hence 'threshold'.

I think you should watch a playthrough of world 8, which you can unlock after painstakingly getting all the gems (The only way I got them was through watching someone else do it and doing what they did)
Aaaah, thanks. What are those actual goals?
And among all of those, which one is your favourite?

Okay, I will, but I'm not sure if that ending is any better...
You are welcome. My actual goal is pixel art + animation, which isn't too far ahead.
Probably Zero. I like the idea of Zero being defense-based rather than the glass cannon he's often portrayed as.

It's better. Definitely is.
Ah, I see. Animated sprites?
Thank you!
If you were to place each character in their own worlds, how would you order them? Would it be the same, or would it be different?

Okay, I've gone and watched that ending. I'm... conflicted about it. Well, at least ZeeTee didn't get eaten...
Yep!
Well, Iris and Lumine would stay where they are for sure. I think I would put Axl as X-2 though. Things get a bit darker, but the world is still pretty cheery, a bit like Axl- he looks like an innocent kid at first glance but look a bit deeper aaaaand...
I'm not quite sure where I'd put everyone else, though.

At least they're both happy. Besides, ZeeTee can evert any time, right? 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the info!
Are you sure now?
True, true.
...no. Sadly. Dammit, why do creative sprees end at the worst of times?

It's alright. =v= you should try making your own pixel art sometime.

Lovely design! I think I do prefer her normal design more, because I like how the colors flow together.
I'm not going to lie, though, I thought it was not pixel art until I looked at the title and took a closer look -- most pixel art isn't as detailed or has many colors, even larger pieces.

I like her "canon colours" better too. In general, the Eversion colours work fantastic for the world, not so much for the characters because the colours are tailored for the world, not the characters.
It's like wearing someone else's custom-fit clothing. Something's gonna go wrong somewhere.
wat omg really i afkjhskjfhakjf...thank u

I like this redesign, especially the dress. She always struck me as the kind of girl to wear that sort of thing regularly. Also, her face is pure cuteness. <3

I'm glad we have the same thoughts! I always thought a girlier design fits her more.
Thanks a lot! I'm happy you like her face, too. =v=

Very nice! As for the dress, I always assumed that it actually had a rail function hidden in the belt so that she could sit comfortably by shifting the pleats, and that she was wearing a leotard or an actual cloth dress underneath.

Thank you! OuO and you have a point, it can work like that. However, I still think it's a tad too heavy for her. But I'll keep it in mind for future armour designs, though! That was useful. Very useful. =v=

Excellent. And I agree that she's a bit lost in the dress. This is much more negotiable. XD
