I think for the first OG design I kinda like. He has this gorilla esq vibe of very calm older almost paternal energy But in crisis flys into a rage. His design is very round so its not intimidating by normal design philosophy but his red face makes him undeniably daunting and uncomfortable to look at. His game play could have communicated this "rage mode" alot better because it just doesn't show through in his animations at all. When I think about it they were probably going for a Winston Overwatch vibe with this character but failed ultimately. In your redesign you made him far less organic and kinda less cybernetic aswell? I understand why you make his shape language sharper to communicate the more aggressive personality the same with the red. It gives him a more cocky and assertive look at me energy which I do like! Though giving him just like rippling reflective abs was a- decision... The grey hair and utilitarian combat pants makes me think he might be a war vet of some kind. EXTRA COOL communicating backstory like that subtly is awesome. something the OG design doesn't really do at all. While I would say maybe he should maybe look a little more cybernetic and a little less red. And hell maybe lean further into the military inspirations. Interestingly where the OG design uses colour to make me look at his face specifically. Your redesign gives a "EYES ON ME" almost unignorable THREAT APROCHING QUICKLY quality. I have no clue what is going on with the second design? The whole idea around the design and the character feels really really half baked to me?? I cant say much its that lack luster. Even with a redesign I just think the characters concept stinks a little? Like why is there a psychic using a rocket launcher floating around in like a this admittedly silly militaristic space suit????????? I do like the Psycho Mantis idea its probably the best direction to take the design but with such a shoddy foundational idea for the design it is kinda doomed to fail. Ok so the final design. I do also kinda like this one, His posture, clothing, colors, tell me he's unserious and cocky. He reads like he has too much faith in his abilities/ thinks he's the shit. The yellow is loud and attention seeking, the hair cut and beard tell me he makes bad life decisions. This guy definitely fucks around but its hard to tell if he ever gets around to finding out. Im a sucker for cowboy aesthetics and stretching the definition of "cowboy" but he could really have done with just a touch more details leaning in the direction. Like it suggests cowboy without actually saying it. And Im confused why not just go all in and say cowboy?? Definitely should have made him more Star Lord inspired but they were trying to do something different here and honestly I respect it. With your redesign you definitely made him look more "protagonisty", younger with more adventurous vibe. Not super strong cowboy vibes still but more traditional in execution. Where the OG design looks like he regularly wakes up regretting what he did the night before. Your design looks like he makes a habit causing trouble and more often than not getting away with it. He is young and could use some tips with self grooming still but he makes up for it with rugged boyish charm.

Star child’s redesign looks like what the concept artists wanted him to look like but someone decided that they knew better and we ended up with what we got, and you made him look more alien which is important Roka has so much character now and that pose is perfect But damn is Lennox my favorite, you made him look like an actual alien instead of someone in cosplay and the western cowboy vibes are now actually visible instead of just the boots Wonderful job

As a person with 0 studies in arts, I like your Starchild's redesign a lot. I'm a sucker for ogres / onis. Roka was one of the designs, alongside Starchild's, that made me think "you got so close to a good-looking design". The helmet is too big, the suit SEEMS to try to be skin tight but trying it's dammed hardest to not make it sexy (which is perfectly fair), and it resulted into having something that does not resemble a piece of clothing. It's not a space suit, it's not pilot gear, it's not armor showing her figure... it's not even a swimsuit, it's just a... something made out of latex with a dumbass helmet. If the helmet had a different design and size that would've been a start for me. I much prefer your redesign, holy hell, that's exactly what I wanted. Lennox doesn't have a cowboy vest, he has a dammed life jacket, and they made lizardpeople look boring somehow. The redesign gives me a "Billy The Kid" vibe, which is gud.

If Lennox is a space cowboy, where is his space cowboy hat? He should have a hat. For Starchild I prefer the old belt, it looks more like what some strongmen use. It would also create a break in the character that can replace the red belly, the character feels a bit too red right now, even the teeth are red. No notes on Roka. Are you one of the people that played the game?

As with all concord redesign videos so far, I think you improved on the originals. Your Starchild was excellent, Lennox imho would need changes to his personality and clothes rather than big overhauls, though I like your take. As for Roka, I would have kept the spandex suit (one of her strong points), but added flying implements like a jet pack to her upper body. My biggest suggestion to sell her aerial abilities while keeping the helmet would be to stylize the helmet like an insect‘s head. A gas mask or pilot’s breathing tube thingy already looks likens fly‘s proboscis, just make the visor like two big spherical compound eyes, and - boom - immediate flying association and a unique look. You could even round it all off nicely and make it a bit friendlier than the average gas mask to keep a hint at her femininity. I think her design is one of the easiest to save, it has some good ideas besides the huge mistakes like not indicating her aerial skills at all. Hope this topic stays alive until I‘m back at the computer in winter, I‘d love to give it a shot.

You did great job. Even though these characters are unsalvageable, you managed to give them a personality, I can see an identity. These characters are flawed to their core (you can write a whole essay), no matter how many times artists redesign these, they will always look “flawed”. Btw your starchild concept is so cool ahhh!!! Reminds me of like fantasy creatures meet space…like an orc alien. This is so cool. And I think that’s why I’m more pissed with the original game. You have a sci-fi setting…ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES, but no, just make generic humans in generic costumes. ITS SPACE! Do robots! Do weird aliens! Do space armors, do cybernetics, do cool guns. The only thing they did was…big guy alien, green man, a lady, a lady with sniper, an old lady, a cat lady, a robot lady, a big lady, a man, a man but cooler, lady in plastic, another man, a space suit…

It's difficult to tell, but I think that in your redesign of Lennox both of his revolvers are holstered (not missing) and both positioned with the hilts pointed back. Judging by what I've seen of this game (this video), Lennox shoots only with his right hand, so his left holster should be flipped so that he can draw from it with his shootin' hand. That's why in his original design the left holster leans forward, while the right holster is more vertical. Alternatively, consider putting the second holster on his back. Usually a quicker draw if you're holstering one to draw the other (speaking from imagination, not experience). Shorter distance, plus you can cock it with your left hand while positioning it. It's also sneakier if your opponent is unaware of the second gun. Alternatively alternatively, he could have *three* guns (and a boot knife).

A thing you didn't mention much that Concord also fails at, the lack of poses is chronic. Poses can say a lot about the character, and you naturally do dramatic poses in your redesigns, but the artist on concord (with many years of experince from call of duty and destiny) didn't think to add any dramatic poses

The redesigns are better but a few things: This might be from my end but the colors feel..faded. I'm not sure why. that is why I don't like Starchild's redesign so much even though it makes more sense than the original. Then for Lennox, the cape feels unnecessary. Like I think he would look better without the cape or if he must have one, it should clash a little less with the orange (it's too light colored) But yeah I like the logic you used with the designs. They feel more inspired than what we got
