Concept of Credo's uniform
Added 2018-05-05 18:39:09 +0000 UTCEvery time I try to draw Credo, I find some parts of the original design actually...uh, make no sense. DMC4 was released in early PS3 era, so it was acceptable, and I really love his color scheme and those overdone, iconic belts. (and his thic thighs) But it is also a 10-years-old design, and to be frankly, it has been hard to make it believable every time he appears on my canvas.
So uh, I think maybe his costume need to be more like a real military uniform. I've barely done any design in recent years, so I just search for the real army images and choose which part suits him and won't change his character too much. His hair style is kind of medieval-ish, but his original costume is more like an 18-19th century uniform--combining with some 20th element.
Sometimes I wish the style of DMC could be more based on 19th century... An era that can cooperate well with both fantasy and modern fashion element.
Not sure if I'll stick with this design, just want to put some ideas out first. Also criticism is always welcomed :)
每次想畫朵兄都會注意到他服裝本身設計其實還挺多bug。十年前看可能還好(想當年其實就有同好在吐槽他的衣服惹因為大家都不知道要怎麼脫光他)，現在畫起來真的會覺得很需要重新修正。於是我決定心動不如馬上行動，很自不量力地開始上網找資料。
總之要消除bug，首先就是要把他的制服至少改成能夠真實存在的軍服。我很喜歡他的配色和皮帶(還有很粗的大腿)，所以在修改的過程中也盡量留住這些原有的特徵。他的髮型蠻中世紀的，但原作設計的服裝比較接近18-19世紀的軍服...並參雜了一些20世紀才出現的要素。
想想其實DMC4的時代風格可以再更統一，個人覺得19至20世紀初的風格應該很合適才對。四代遊戲中有車輛有巴士但市民穿得非常中世紀這點一直讓我覺得好出戲xDDDDD
總之發這篇只是先丟一些覺得可用的點子上來，以後有空會繼續修改也說不定。

Aw gosh I just realized my idea is already looking like a wedding suit! Maybe someday I'll...draw some wedding photos and make him dress like this. XD
2018-05-08 03:55:50 +0000 UTCThank you! Some years ago I tried to translate some of my thoughts to english on Tumblr, but it took too much time and didn't make much difference to only post works. It's nice to have Patreon which makes artists become willing to spend more time sharing ideas and thoughts :))
2018-05-08 03:55:21 +0000 UTCLove the first one, simple and graphic! But also, I'd die to see the last one in a proper pic, because I think that it will rock in your own style <3! Credo is one of my favourite characters ever!
2018-05-07 08:28:06 +0000 UTCI'm incredibly glad to finally be your patron and watch the "inside" of your process over art. You are great and amazed at every your work!!
2018-05-06 21:14:53 +0000 UTCThanks! I'm just modifying his design so it's a lot easier. If it's a original character who requires to be start from zero it will take me weeks to do. *sweat*
2018-05-06 03:42:41 +0000 UTCYeah, the pauldrons of original design bothers me, and it's the part I want to get rid of the most! After posting this concept I'm feeling he seems a bit too fancy. Maybe I'll change something.
2018-05-06 03:39:54 +0000 UTCwoow love your clothing design!! Personally I find it hard to try to draw interesting clothing designs, but these are beautiful!! :D
2018-05-06 01:53:48 +0000 UTCI know what they were going for with his original design, and yet I can't help but wonder how the hell it's supposed to come off -- does it unbutton, do the pauldrons come off first, what? Yours make much more sense. xD
