"Project: Spiral" - Art Update #15

This was supposed to go up last Thursday (and that's where I'm putting it, by the stars), but I got way busier than I expected.  It's a good thing:  I'm booking more jobs, and more kinds of jobs, which means more financial stability but also less time to do this blogging stuff.  Fortunately, I have the P:S chapters and stories about my life on autopilot for the next month and a half - I just have to figure out what to do about the art updates.  I'm thinking a "retrospective" theme.  This week's retrospective is on Alice.

Everyone's favorite snarky zombie elf!

Back in the days of Project:  Suck the comic, Alice was a palette-swapped Roll sprite:

 

Project:  Suck strips featuring Alice.  Click for huge!

Her illustrations were also fairly by-the-numbers, unlike Pannych and Phyr who had their sprites changed to match their jaunty garb (though Alice did get costume changes that the others did not, outside of their power forms).

Over the following years, I redesigned her a bit to make her less like Roll - but I still kept her super-skinny, so meh.

When it came time for the reboot, I decided she needed a new build.  As Alice had previously been a love interest for Vulcan (now Rayla) and Pannych, and I had since axed that angle, I thought it would be thematically symmetrical to model her after Lady M's physique.  If that doesn't make sense to you, then it at least makes sense in my head.

OK, that's all for now!  Stay tuned for... Jegus, it's only three days until I have to come up with an actual plan for this shit!  Wish me luck!
