I was holding off on posting these since I wanted to post something finished first, but I think this is far enough along that I want to post some information about it. This here’s a fanart project I’ve been working on:
A friend of mine (who will also be sketching) showed me an image of Colette (Tales of Symphonia) as Lloyd and we were discussing how lead heroines would be cooler if they got to wear the neat clothing the heroes do. Even the lameo girls would be cool~ Thus started my ambitious project!
As you can see above, I’m trying to make each hero’s design recognizable while incorperating the heroine’s own outfit (with a modern flare).
I plan to create 15 female designs, and then between 5 and 8 males (they’re obviously harder to costume swap). After this I’ll consider doing the rest of the Tales world of characters. It’d be great to do everybody. But obviously the options are many and this is a huge undertaking. For this reason there is also the possibility of recruiting a few artists so every character cam be covered and making an anthology artbook around this idea. c: We’ll see! Right now I’m just focused on own my project in this.
But hay! Keep a look out! Once I’m far enough along I will be selling prints of these for those who are interested. For sure, there will be prints at Otakon (July) whether it’s at a table or in the gallery. I have all intentions for these to be digital pieces, but there’s a good chance the piece going into Otakon’s gallery will be a limited edition print that’ll be partly handpainted like the print I attempted for Katsucon. (see picture 3)
But there it is ladies and gents.
I will keep you posted!
