Character sprite concepts

[Memento]

About everyone voted, and the outcome for most options is very clear. Arcane hasn't voted yet, but I honestly think his vote wouldn't make much diffirence on the current scores. I'd say you guys can make a final concept with the information provided below



1) He should be wearing an armor in similar color as #4

2) Hair should always stay the same size

3) Hair should become spikier with each transformation

4) Winning hairstyle: #2

BUT: as the hair actually does get spikier, we can keep the initial haircuts, we just have to resize them so they remain in proportion


5) Haircolor.

This one was a bit tricky, because it should have been split in 2 questions. However, #3 had the most votes, followed by #2 and #5. Most of us also want the haircolor to change from either red to brown, or brown to red (red to brown mostly).

We could use the following:
* form 1: #2
* form 2: #3
* form 3: #4

OR
* form 1: #2
* form 2: something between #2 and #3
* form 3: #3

I'd say we should leave this to the spriters


6) He should have armor in all forms

7) About him growing larger: score was 3 votes for 'grow bigger', 3 votes for 'don't grow bigger' and 1 vote for 'only in last form'. If we let him grow bigger in the last form only, it will be a good compromise and also make sense (1st form: normal, 2nd form: speed, doesn't need extra height, 3th form: defence and power are boosted, thus being bigger makes sense)


8) He should not have a cape in 1st form
9) Spriters may decide if he wears a cape in 2nd form
10 He should be wearing a cape in 3th form.

Again, there is only 1 minute of time overlap between seeing 2nd form and 3th form, so I recommend using the cape in 2nd form also as it will be there in the 3th form


11) He should have a weapon in 1st form
12) He should have a weapon in 2nd form
13) He should not have a weapon in 3th form
