Ulysses Dies at Dawn character designs!
Some notes:
I wanted the designs to not be fully human but was having a lot of trouble thinking how to implement that. With no animals in the city, could it be that the people became them? In the end it felt too much to balance, especially with all the augmentation. Let’s choose to believe that even though they look human, there’s actually something horribly alien about them that is simply not visible in these designs.
Music inspo: since blues feature heavily in this album, I figured the 1920s would be perfect. The film noir vibes also worked with this, seeing as the 20s marked a significant transition from silent film into “talkies”. Unfortunately this is an album with one female character and a lot of the iconic 20s fashion is female oriented. Hopefully I managed to make it recognizable even so.
The fashion style is meant to be a mix of 700 bce (Greek Mythology) and 1920s (film noir theme).
