For this latest set of polls, I’ve asked two separate artists to conceptualise a main character for the game. I have a modeller and animator lined up to create the arm you’ll be seeing in-game from the first-person perspective, but I needed some reference art first.

Both artists were given the exact same brief, which included the setting, theme, narrative, details about the grappling arm’s alien origin and how it functions, and some preferences I had such as having the “hand” part of the arm be separate from the forearm, the arm looking otherworldly, the character being a teen or young adult, and them being somewhat androgynous and ideally not white.

Aside from this information, they were given near complete creative freedom to interpret and conceptualise how they please.

You can see the two character designs and arm designs we ended up with in the latest update post!
