Here's a coloured character design sheet of Kiko done for Konami's New International Track & Field video game on Nintendo DS. The game is available now and includes online multiplayer as well as single cartridge multiplayer.
The character is shown from several angles and with a variety of expressions to guide the animators who model and animate the character in 3D.

Very cute character but her angry expression is by far the freakiest/scariest of all....

Hmmm...while the designs for these are great, there's one area that bothers me, and that's the smug expression on Kiko. Compared to the rest of the expressions and the athletic gear, 'smug' looks to have too much shading on the lower mouth. It distracts my eyes as the shading seem out of place and unnatural. 'Defeated' has a little bit of that too, but not like smug. It may be just me, and others may disagree completely, but I just feel that 'smug' doesn't feel right.
On a side note, I also noticed that only 3-view back has colored nails. I would think that it would be consistant to have them all plain or all colored.
I'm not trying to bash this, I'm just saying what i see.

It's really clear, bright, crisp and colorful. Great design on the expressions.
The boobs are almost too much for a children's game.
And that's something coming from me, you can't have too much tits I believe, but I still feel like if one is to look at it, and the huge round bosoms about to pop from the top are the first thing they notice, it might not be kid friendly.
But then again, they're always the first thing I notice, so it may just be me.

Awesome.. just like the other designs for the game
but the angry expression is a little disturbing for such a cute girl >.> (especially that u have to see it every time you are against her!)

Don't get her angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry...

The Smug teeth don't look as intimidating as the Angry ones! Also it's ironic how girls like that NEVER wear a sports tank top in the Beijing Olympics like that.

When you draw character like that.
Front; 3/4leftfront; left; 3/4left rear; etc...
Why do YOU draw one arm up and one down?
I'm a beginner in animation, and I was wondering if there was something in doing this
Thanks

That particular pose is useful to show the 3D modeler what the character's arms looks like both beside their body and extended out to their maximum length.

I bought the game yesterday. ItΒ΄s nice. I have even played it wireless with friends and that was also nice - even if it takes like half a year to start!
Kiko is a nice character, look nice. Not one of my favourites yet but itΒ΄s good she is there
(Like the angry face )

She's so cute she makes me want to - WHOA. Time to go out on a limb and guess she isn't very good at gymnastics, or any event that requires balance. O_O
