This Ether fanart is very complex but I LOVE it. Problem is, I don't think it matches Ether's personality very much, which isn't so very important. I thought Ether was more woman than girl, though. If these were made to look a little older, they'd really work for me. Anyway, I'll wait and see what V2 has in store for us. ;)
I enjoy this fanart very much for the originality :)
however I would prefer Ether to actually look as sharp and snappy as she's supposed to act towards our heroes(from what we know)...and that means she should look a little bit more noble and high-minded for me...yeah and the bold head was somehow helping me to believe that characterization
I think Maxine should just be forgotten about, in any show it's tiring to continually see recovered characters. Just 1 completely new one will make the story more interesting.
To be honest, I prefer the original design of Ether. I don't like this character design at all, it just doesn't fit anyone in a Reboot universe. I could just be picky.
It's a really cool design, but I don't think it fits Ether. Would be interesting to see these ideas incorporated into AndrAIa. Still... it grabs my attention... While I wasn't going to, I think I'll have to sit down and try my own hand at Ether.
On a side note, if you wanted to make Maxine into Ether, you could easily say that she was just undercover as a search engine (like a day job). With old man Pearson being a junkyard owner, I think it would fit the codemasters to kinda be scattered all over, hidden as normal sprites.
That's a good point; she is an attention-grabbing design. At first, I'll admit, I thought you were redesigning AndrAIa because of the somewhat aquatic feel of her (harpoon, lobster boots). It's a really awesome concept design though!
I really like this version of Ether, amazing work. A few suggestions: maybe make her a little less girlish and a little more reserved and Amazon warrior-like. Definitely keep the hair, but cut out a few of the other wires floating around. Ether seems a bit too arrogant and cold to be Maxine (at least from what I remember of Maxine, it's been a while). You will have to be careful to distinguish her from AndrAIa, but I can definitely see Ether as the fire to AndrAIa's water (not in the constantly battling each other sense, just attitude wise)
Like I've said before, seeing fan art is one of my favorite parts of this process. It's amazing how many creative people are out there who are threatening to take my job, lol. If you've got them send them in and we'll post them up.
I didn't even notice the usb cables until someone mentioned them, she'd be incredibly helpful to have around the office.
Find a happy medium between this and your original Ether design and you will have a perfect hit. Agreeing that this looks a bit too girlish, but that the USB dreads? Just. Plain. Awesome.
And definitely don't overshadow AndrAIa. AndrAIa is my favourite.
I really think the artwork is very beautiful! However, as others have said, she might be a little bit much for Reboot; she might stand out too much compared to the other characters (and, as her personality isn't one that seems to be flashy or over-the-top, it would be a little jarring).
But I REALLY love the conept of the wire/usb hair! Perhaps if the design could be toned down a bit, it would reflect Ether's personality a little more. But somehow the awesome hair concept needs to be incorporated into the new design, even if it's a little less stylized or shorter, because the wire/usb hair is definitely my favorite part - it's just so creative!
I love the character design, but I do not see her as Ether. She looks too sweet and young. This would make for a great design for some other character though.
