My work for the Lightbox Expo CharacterDesign challenge. The theme was "Box of Mystery" and my concept was to deliver characters from a fictional fighting game in a 80s arcade style. I considered the TV, where you would play the game on, as the "Box of Mystery". My goal for this challenge was to try out a new rendering style (from black and white to color) and to design the characters as clean and iconic as possible. Although this would very much limit the nature of the challenge ( I noticed people tend to overload detail in their designs to make them more interesting), I found it more important to make them look like they really belonged into a arcade brawling game without stuff they don´t need.
