Nova sprite collection (Patreon)
Content
This is a new kind of post I'll be doing through the month of April, it'll show off all of the outfits so far for each character. Many of you might've seen early previous of Nova a long time ago, but this is a all in one collection! ^^
Nova is the captain of the kickboxing club, friends with Allie & Rosa. She comes from a very well known family who are famous around the world in kickboxing and grew up around it. She's a down to earth, tomboy, mature kind of girl. There's many times where she finds herself busy staying hark at work with sports as it comes natural to her.
When designing Nova, it was pretty interesting at first. Mainly because like Zoey, she was a completely new character introduced when deciding to make the visual novel and I'm glad I decided to include her. I knew right away I wanted her to be into some sort of sports, something a bit more tomboyish in a sense. (compare Juliet in gymnastics/cheerleading) It came down to three options, basketball, kickboxing or volleyball. Which I felt kickboxing allowed to give her quite a interesting story building element to be linked with her family.
The designs for her kind of were a bit over the place with trying to get the perfect feeling for her visually to match her character, but I think she's at that perfect design now.
Nova's clothing choices in style are meant to be a bit bland, plain in terms of colors as seen with her underwear. She doesn't need to put much thought into all that extra dress up, mainly sticking with some styles to fit her sporty themes or feeling boyish.
