Pink Knuckles
Added 2020-10-02 15:01:10 +0000 UTCI've been so nervous to post these designs! Not because I'm unhappy with them but because I'm so used to making art based on other people/company's properties that it feels foreign and scary to share something all mine.
I've loved fighting games since I was a wee lad, mainly of the 3D variety, and I've been wanting to make a cast of characters for a long time now. I came up with the name Pink Knuckles because I wanted to cultivate and celebrate a quirky queer and colorfully fashionable lens through which the characters were seen. I think it's a pretty name and I hope it hasn't already been coined for something else. Can't wait to design the logo.
These two above are the first passes I have taken on them, so much could change as I explore them more. I need your help naming them! As I've sit with them for so long, I've kind of just been calling one Demon Boy and one Angel Boy. I was clearly vibing hard on Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. Angel Boy was definitely inspired by the Versace-esque shirts worn in the film and the knight armor costume Leo wears to the ball. Demon Boy was based on a fab jacket on a fab person I saw on Instagram.
More designs to come as I flesh them out. So please sound off: what names do you think are fitting for these two?
