She Is Also Worm - Tumblr Posts

I really like the character design for the protagonist! Do you have any insight on her design? Was there any particular inspiration for her design? :D

Like the game, Lady has a long and complicated history when it comes to her design. She basically used to be several different characters and her moveset was translated from one design to another until i settled onto the current lore.

By the time i had to start working on the 4th design, i was getting pretty tired of sinking hours into animations, so i opted to go for a few design tricks that would streamline the process. This mostly takes the form of her legs and arms being concealed under her dress and cloak in most animations.

Lady's final design mostly follows on the third by being a mechanical creature wearing a purple hood and cloak but i had her converted to a humanoid form so she could reasonably pass as a human. Afterward, it was a matter of picking her hairstyle, facial expressions, colors, and accessories so she would be easy to see on the game's diverse backgrounds. You can see a glimpse of the process below.

My one remaining gripe is that the clock pendent is just at a random hour when in hindsight it should probably have been at 12 o'clock but fixing that would require me to go in and alter all of her sprites so, it`s probably just gonna stay this way.
