自由星球 1 是一款 2014 年上市的平台跳跃类动作游戏。我在 2015 年时玩到了它，并且非常喜爱，所以就用自己的风格为游戏的主角团 4 人画了一套改良版的概念设计图。

上面的组合图截取了这套概念设计图中 4 位主角的主设计图，从左到右分别是：星鸟托克 (Torque)、水龙雷凌 (Sash Lilac)、野猫可萝 (Carol Tea) 和猎犬美兰 (Milla Basset)。

注意：自由星球 1 原本是一个基于刺猬索尼克的二次创作游戏，在改为原创项目之前，主角团的 Lilac、Carol、Milla 三人的早期版本的原作者是 Ziyo Ling。

自由星球的世界观是以中式风格为主导的。我为雷凌、可萝、美兰设计了中式服装，而托克是外星人，我为他设计了凯尔特风格的服装。因为作品的定位是当代加科幻，所以也进行了一些风格化的处理。

这套图在自由星球的玩家社区中很受喜爱，也被开发组 GalaxyTrail 拿去做成了宣传展板和一些其他小商品。也有可能因为这套图的缘故，我后来被开发组选中，作为续作：自由星球 2 的美术设计师。

Freedom Planet 1 is an indie platforming action video game released in 2014. I played the game in 2015 and I really liked it. I drew a series of alternative concept arts of the main characters to show my support.

From left to right: Commander Torque the Alien Bird, Sash Lilac the Water Dragon, Carol Tea the Wildcat, Milla Basset the Hound.

Note 1: Freedom Planet 1 was originally a Sonic the Hedgehog fan game. Before the game was transformed into an original IP, it used early versions of the main 3 girls, their original creator was Ziyo Ling.

Note 2: Torque isn’t a bird in the original game. This is purely my own interpretation.

Freedom Planet 1 has a strong Chinese influence on its visual design, so I gave the main girls Chinese style costumes. Torque is an alien, so I gave him a Celtic style costume to differentiate him from the girls. I also streamlined the traditional styles to go with the game’s modern time period and sci-fi setting.

This series of alternative designs were well-received by the Freedom Planet community. The developer GalaxyTrail noticed my version of the girls, and they used them to make a few display boards in video game conventions, among other merchandises. And perhaps because of that, I was later chosen as the character designer of the sequel, Freedom Planet 2.
