Description My first entry for the Square Enix contest.
check out my other entry, Toto: [link]

So there was reason for my "I must draw in Tetsuya Nomura style" craze from a few months back. xDD

The character's nickname is Trigger, due to her numerous victories with shooting games in the arcades. I think she would be a cool hero. xD

Reasons for design
After looking at the concept art boards and the existing character art, the urban feeling of the game was the first thing that really stood out for me. And compared to previous games with the art of Nomura, the outfits are actually wearable. The design for the outfit came fast after that. I wanted to draw a hoodie so badly.

The existing characters have a rather muted, retro colour palet (with exeption of the main character, damn purple). Honestly, I tried pink at first (I'm such a girl) but that failed completely. It didn't fit in with the rest of the characters. I choose brown and orange after that, which I always find a great colour combination and fits exellent with the existing art of the game.

I hope you all like it. :3

Yours is so great looking. And you're really good at manipulating Nomura's style but yet making it your own. So jealous.. ;A;
Goodluck to you! :3

I think all the elements of this are perfect. Most entries I've seen so far are poorly thought out. They think, "Oh, well, Sora from Kingdom Hearts has loads of clothes and details on him. My entry is sure to win if I load them up with even more than that." And they all wear clothes that are super disfunctional. That's why yours is such a breath of fresh air; The style is simple and functional, but with the same style and trend that we all fall in love with when we see Nomura's work. You also had the other characters in mind, and even if I hated your design, I'd still love it because of your thoughtfulness.

I wanted to give a full on critique, but there's nothing I can see that needs changing at all. Wonderful work! I wish you good luck.

I even spotted a few Sora's. xD
But that's why I love these character designs, they're wearing actual wearable clothes. Jeans and t-shirts, without too much layers and jewelry.

but thank you. ;D
