Snatch Redesign Process + PSD

Added 2023-12-09 01:49:53 +0000 UTC

Unlike past redesigns this wasn't a drastic change. Turns out my vision for him back then was largely unchanged, so it was mainly a matter of refining the concept now that my design skills have developed since his initial creation. This mainly included giving him a backpack that is filled to the brim with stuff that belonged to him he's looking to sell off or things he finds in the outside world that might prove useful to someone else - for the right price. Body language was also pretty important this time since I had him stood straight before which didn't really sell the idea that well.

Another important aspect is his prosthetic foot. Before I simply went with a basic pegleg that has a bit of articulation at the tip but now I wasn't really satisfied with it and felt it was a wasted opportunity to show off Aerok (the name of the bird species) ingenuity, one I sought to remedy for the redesign.

The prosthetic foot is meant to look a little slapped-together and not very sophisticated but very very much functional, meant to contrast heavily with a character further ahead in a different time period, that being Verity. Verity's prosthetic is more sleek and takes up less space by comparison.

All in all I'm very pleased with how Snatch turned out, I hope y'all enjoy his presence.
