oculus and audio

finally, some full bodies for these disasters
(no the story still doesn't have a name)

they're just doodles and Audio's lower half is liable to change (didn't have a clue what to do for their skates), but I kinda like them.

So, for Oculus's design I wanted to make her look shambled and poorly put together because, well, she is, but also because it's an interesting contrast between she and Audio. I kept things the same as to how she was in her first concept sketch because I like the way it looked, and because it fits with the type of person she is. She wears a hoodie and leggings and her roller skates are an amalgamation of random materials. It all, including her accessories, contributes to a round, soft looking, more approachable appearance. She looks like a regular person in a hat and some glasses (which are red mirror glasses, by the way, they're opaque on the front side so you can't see her eyes), which is pretty true even if she's a well off white girl. Her parents are rich but they're not in any corporate or political jobs with social influence, they're just scientists.

For Audio, I wanted to give them baggy clothes as well, but not because I wanted them to look more friendly or personable; it's practicality more than anything. Having a big bomber jacket and a thick scarf on their top half hides their body, so that covers up their age, build, ethnic heritage, even their gender. Audio is very deliberately androgynous because it helps the police fool the public and set a trap for Oculus. Yeah, Audio is employed by the police. But whomst could they be? hmmmm. (it feels kind of stupid trying to set up the mystery now, considering I've only shown two of the characters but. whatever i gues..)
