Ah, finally I feel like I have enough art of one of my characters to make a collage.
So here we go, a brief look at Kale!
Kale was one of the first characters I conceived when I decided to make a game- she just sort of danced into my mind, half designed already and stuck. Since then, her wardrobe has changed to what you see before you. Green was always her color, for whatever reason. You know how something just is and that's how it goes?
Anyway, she's nineteen, as you can see, and for now will be a monk. I have to come up with a more descriptive class name sometime, but for now I just wanted to get across the idea that she uses fists and is lighter on defense.
Hailing from the slightly dreary and wet land of Ipsin, she's off to rescue her friend, Cecil from certain execution, along with her friend Mitzi, who'll probably be the next character post.
Some notable facts about her:
She's fairly passionate, as one might expect from a girl who crosses the sea to take on a whole small nation, possibly!
She enjoys swimming and punching things, as expected from someone who uses their fists a lot.
Her favorite foods are pickles and fish, but she hates smooth foods and alcohol.

She used to be a lot more edgy- I have a rough sketch somewhere of her ripping a doll's heart out for some reason. May my early planning stages be forgotten, especially to me ;w;
She was really hard to get the hang of drawing, I still have trouble as I ink her character face sets a lot. I hope I'll be better at her by the time I have to draw some major scenes.
Since she's the party leader for a good portion of the game, I worked hard to make her sprite design natural but distinctive. We'll see if I succeeded in time, I guess.
How do you color skin like I don't know what I'm doing I just smear colors on and hope for the best sorry girl.
I still haven't decided how to portray her hick-ness in her speech. I'm thinking about dropping the g's, and adding colloquialisms. Let me know if you have a good way to write farm girl speech, 'kay?

And that's enough for now. I think the world map will be next, because you need to find out where Ipsin actually is, eh?
