One of my favorite pages, but I don’t have much to add so let’s talk about Lym’s design real quick. The first version of Lym had a lot going on: glasses, long hair, long scarf, unique jacket, and so on. The tricky thing in practice was showing all that stuff, as many elements covered one another, such as the scarf, jacket, and hair. They also didn’t say a lot about her, and character design should first and foremost inform the audience about the character. All that stuff actually mischaracterizes Lym as she doesn’t look like she’s apathetic to this game, she looks like she’s way into it. Alessa, by contrast, looks casual. Lym’s current design is much simpler, featuring a short bob haircut, glasses, cardigan, and t-shirt stained with paint (art is a major theme in the current version) and she now properly looks out of her element. |
