Main character : Zoile.

First shared concept art ! Please give me your tough about him (comment below, share and subscribe). My first intention was to reveal the plot, but I felt like the blog was missing some more visual support. 10 followers and we will unlock a new character next week :)

Today's question: who was your favorite game, cartoon or comic book heroes and why ?

Zoile is the main character of a group of three. In our game, you will have the chance to control 3 main character, each having individual weakness and strength. You will be able to control them all at the same time and all the time ! How you will control them will be covered in an upcoming post, but promise to be a fun and unique way of handling different skill set. I remember one of my old time favorite arcade game 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. My favorite character was Michelangelo, but Donatello had this long stick that could reach enemy from a much further distance making him the best choice to fight the first boss Rocksteady which I felt was the strongest of the game beside Shredder. It was always annoying to have the choice between the one I liked and the one that was most capable to handle that situation. I felt the same thing playing many RPG like Diablo, II and WoW where you just can't invest enough time in all classes and you always dreamed to mix and match class skill to get the best possible character you could build that would match your play-style. How we approach that problem will be reveal soon.

At this point in time, you may feel that ETs are old-dated, unrefreshing and filled with "cliché", think again. I swear that our anti-heroes are different and that the plot and the phylosophical humorous twist that will be explored in this universe is very different and refreshing from what you have in mind.

Zoile is the self-proclaimed leader of our squad. He is particularly strong physically for his race and possesses a quick wit, few have dared to challenge him. His descent gave him a high level of  self-confidence and Zoile quickly became imbued of himself. Afraid of none, he sees himself as one of the best fighters of his race and has an unwavering pride of his homeland. He was born from a war hero and has always dreamed of becoming a full member of the prestigious flying squad of the 452b Pekler Interplanetary Army. After several failures in the admissions exam, Zoile became very mean and bitter towards others. After 4 years of attempts, he finally was accepted as a low rank recruit. It is said that his father intervened with the council so he could have the chance to demonstrate his value. Unfortunately, many disciplinary problems and conflict with other members have confined him in low rank function. After several difficult years with the squad, the high council allowed him to create a small squadron with two members of his choice for his first mission. He, unsurprisingly selected the only two members with whom a sincere friendship was developed. The two members accepted the honor after a convincing patriotic speach from Zoile and since then he has taken his role with the great honor. Despite is strong wrong and frequent fight with his two friend, he is willing to give everything to show to everyone that his team is the best, because he is the best leader and a good leader can bring weak soldier to great honor.

You can see Zoile with and without his armor set and a typical ray-gun weapon. The Zarin are a humanoid skinny race from a nearby planet.

Zarin, as a race, are mostly peaceful, minding their own business and seeking knowledge. They have an equivalent length of evolution compared to human, but they took a different path. They are scared about a recent discovery they made that put their world at risk of what they call the "multicolored tall people invasion". More info about the Zarin will be shared in an upcoming post !

 

Thanks, please share your opinion, it's very valuable. 5 comments and we publish a video tutorial on how to draw it.

Now that you mention it, I can see why you ask :D There are similarities with the head, but they are two different strange species for sure ! Glad you like it. Keep an eye for more eye candy coming soon.
