Oh, well, I've already sent the artist my ideas for Shir, but do post yours when you get a chance. I've decided that in the not-immediate future I'll do another Shir illustration. She's so cool she gets two.
Actually, it's because I want to do a redesign of her text adventure outfit as well.
But, I can give everyone a preview of the ideas I sent the artist. Changes:
Hair: Still in a bob, but no bangs. (This will help differentiate her from Amy.)
Dress: Still a blue mini dress, but it will be, er, tighter, and I got rid of the white collar. Instead, there will be white detail on her dress.
Boots: I kept the blue boots with red detail on the top, but they are now over-the-knee
Gloves: Her gauntlets are gone and she will be wearing white gloves.
Weapons: She'll have a sheathed dagger strapped to her left thigh and she'll have her text adventure laser gun in her right hand.
Her overall look is much more sci-fi, and I'm hoping it will also emphasize that she's posh. I personally felt that the details I sent the artist were stylish and like she was a part of Motavia's "scene." I was inspired by Ulala from Space Channel 5.
Hugh is still a giant mystery to me. I'm trying to keep the color palette the same for the characters, but Hugh is going to be hard. His green and purple look is very dated. So, any ideas would be appreciated.
