So, you're probably aware of the heroine poll over at Capcom Unity already. A bunch of interesting characters, by very prominent and competent artists (Ryuji's is entry my fav). Even so, I wanted more mecha+buster      ^Edit: Some designs from 1.5 years ago which I cleaned up. I never posted them back then because i stole one of the characters from my Cortex Command project (I'm the artist/co-dev on that). It's not that close when I look at it now, but it felt like cheap theft at the time. Edit: Maybe I got the hair knob design from Last Exile though? Certainly looks similar! Out of my redesigns I think I like the black/yellow/red one the most. My 'Met' one is the worst. Just thought I would show the stuff here. I've been posting a bit over at CU which is very (too) chatty atm, because of the poll. Any idea is it's an actual (main) heroine, a side character spotter...? Most of the info is in Japanese. I obviously drew mine to look like professional Diggers of some sort, maybe even prototype anthro units. Edit:  And some Reaverbot designs |

She is meant to be a spotter (all of them), but not knowing that is for the best because I love the designs you came up with under the assumption she'd be in action! Great attention to details like the Inafune design's hair possibly getting in the way and the Nakayama design needing a more original color scheme. You also covered a requirement I was thinking they all needed, to be drawn as they would more likely look in Legends style. Itou's needed that the most.

o.o Wow. Yes indeed, that there is some amazing art. And it looks a lot more like something you'd expect in Legends. I am blown away. You even made Inafune's and Itou's designs look awesome. These characters would've made awesome diggers. I'm a bit annoyed that all this poll business was just for another spotter. |

I know I said it before, but I really like what you did with Komaki and Ishikawa's designs. You actually made the parachute skirt look...unlike something my grandmother wouldn't even touch. |

I'm a big Saber fan (Fate/Stay Night), but I think I did a pretty sloppy job with the skirt.
So, another spotter huh? Well, I don't mind. It's just interesting to see official art plop out. I don't think they'd trust the community to choose the main character. I wouldn't!
:< But how is a spotter a heroine? They're as heroic as a traffic controller with cataract.
I should really number these things, because I can't keep track of the names! I think my Komaki redesign has too many meaningless color fields breaking up the figure. Ideally each detail should contribute. I tried to add reaverbot eyes and stuff like that, but I didn't go far enough I think. A good design should kill like at least 2-3 birds with each stone.
Pink goggles one reminds be of something from BoF.

:< But how is a spotter a heroine? They're as heroic as a traffic controller with cataract. Hah! That's (almost) exactly what I said. (not really) For some reason people think I'm weird for thinking Digger when I heard the word Heroine though. I don't get it. |

These are really great designs! The amount of detail and attention paid to the philosophy behind it is outstanding. ;D
@green: They could be using 'heroine' as shorthand for 'hero-affiliated character'- like a non-villain helper.

Absolutly amazing! You should definitely post them on Unity if you haven't already.
Also, that Purple reaverbot is just spectacular! You should submit some designs when they ask for user designs.

Ha. Didn't think that Reaverbot could look good no matter what, but you somehow managed to pull it off.  As always: nice, even if they're not very Legends-like. For some reason people think I'm weird for thinking Digger when I heard the word Heroine though. I don't get it. Heroine, as in protagonist. There can be a hero of the story even if it's not necessarily an action thriller. :/ |

(I really just want to see more diggers x.x) On-topic: I think of these redesigns I probably like Inafune's and Itou's best just for how much you've improved them. Inafune's in particular; that just looks amazing. And I still love Komaki's design — it's a neat edit. I like the colors, although I can't really say I understand what you mean about “meaningless color fields.” The colors seem to work well together I think.. |

You have a thing for skintight jumpsuits, don'cha?

He has a thing for mechanical designs in general. As much as these concepts are great, they all really do tie in to Reaverbot Legends, which is not what we'll be getting.
I greatly respect your ideas, Niklas, and I can't wait to have the free time one day to focus on design...and music.

You have a thing for skintight jumpsuits, don'cha? I'm not complaining.  It's a fun idea; much niftier than what we got in the actual poll IMO. (but I guess their regular outfits are more suitable for spotters eh) I'd love to see more of these redesigns. Like more poses, or in action or something. That would be amazing.  |

I wasn't complaining, I have a fetish for skintight jumpsuits myself.

I love the designs!!! This really brings back the old memories of Super Smash Bros. Brawl poll feeling and being on edge. I love this... I really want Hideki Ishikawa to win though :S
Arne can you reupload the top pictures?
