Milk boy character power designs.

For when my character 'Milk Boy' develops his super powers and unique abilities, I really need to think of simplistic yet iconic ways to represent those features. It needs to be obvious what each power is capable of doing just but the shape, size and colour of the designs.

Here are the four special abilities Milk boy can use whilst in his 'Super' state. These powers are, Fire, Ice, Rock and Ghost. Each one has their own strengths and weaknesses that are represented in the interactive narrative. It is up to the player to decide which power is most suitable for the situation milk boy encounters. Paying significant attention to what these powers represent, I experimented with a lot of shapes and colours to bring to life those four abilities.

Fire:  Has the iconic gradient of reds, oranges and yellows. Flames lapping up his figure and a smokey fog that en-ropes the flames.

Ice: Sharp pointed spikes with a snowflake type pattern. Different variants of blue and intense highlights represent the reflective surface in which ice has.

Rock: Bulky arms with a rough texture, glowing yellow eyes giving the character an 'industrial' type feel. Also a yellow aura with floating rubble highlights the ability here

Ghost: A ghastly purple aura and rounded body. Removing the legs and adding a flicked tail add to that representation of a 'ghost', or traditional ghost shape.

Here is the design for Milk boy in his 'Super' form, better known as 'Super Milk boy'. I really wanted him to have iconic 'super' like colours, when experimenting with colours, red and purple really fitted well together. To further represent that 'super hero' theme, I gave Milk boy a cape, gloves, boots and an eye mask. These traditional yet iconic features, really influence that Milk boy is super in this form. As well as adding a big 'S' logo for super and a milk dipped,style cape, you really begin to capture this new side to Milk boy. His personality changes, he is now brave and courageous. You can see this is represented in his posture, facial expression and attire.
