野猫可萝
野猫可萝是水龙雷凌的搭档。她年龄比雷凌小,所以身高被压下去一些。可萝是个比较男孩子气的角色,所以在服装上我采用了常用于中式男装的中置盘扣。我在服装各处增加了红色和黄色的细节,用以呼应她的红颈巾和耳朵的黄毛。
因为雷凌和可萝在游戏故事发生前就已经组队活动多年,我为她们设计了共通的视觉元素,例如手套背面的队标、背后的羽翼纹绣等。这些元素后来也被我推广到后面加入的美兰和托克身上。
由于雷凌和可萝都采用了左右对称的造型,在紧身衣这种比较单调的服装下面显得不够好看。我通过不对称的护腕、护膝来增加她们在视觉上的趣味性,还把不对称性反向移植到普通服装上,给可萝增加了一个单边的护臂。
可萝的冬装包得像个粽子,但是意外地看上去也挺可爱的,是我个人比较喜欢的一套服装。
Carol Tea the Wildcat
Carol is Lilac’s teammate. She is younger than Lilac, so I made her shorter. Carol is a tomboy, so I used centered knot buttons on her crop top, which is commonly used on traditional Chinese shirts for men. I also added red and yellow details all over her costume to correspond with her iconic red scarf and the yellow fur in her ears.
Lilac and Carol were a team for many years before Freedom Planet 1’s story. For that, I designed their team insignia on their gloves, and the wing marks on their back. I also put the team insignia on the later joined Milla and Torque as well.
Lilac and Carol’s designs were highly symmetrical. When it comes to simple clothing like leotards, I think a symmetrical design looks too boring. I gave them asymmetrical elements like one-sided knee pad and wristband. I also backported the idea to Carol’s normal costume by giving her a protective sleeve.
Carol’s winter costume wraps around her neatly, and she looks puffy in it. I really liked the design.
