However, is that too on-the-nose? “She’s a bad person, therefore she gets devil horns.” Is that how it comes across? Or, is it subtle enough to not invoke that kind of reaction? The “horns” also carry the added bonus of making her look slightly devilish, which suits a serial killer. It definitely achieves the desired effect I can’t think of another character she could be mistaken for! I asked aea to design a character with unique silhouette, and in this design, he’s given her tufts of hair on her head that resemble horns, or perhaps bobcat ears. I’m hoping to wind up with a character who has a signature trait that makes her easy to identify her personal trademark. I’m not sure how many revisions we’ll go through before we nail the final look of the main character, but I think the first draft looks absolutely awesome, so I wanted to share it: I’ve teamed up with a talented artist who goes by the name of “aea” to produce some character designs for the game. I’d like Yandere-chan to be the “face” of the game, appear in the promotional art, etc. I’d like her to be easily recognizable so that people can say, “Oh, I know that character, I know what game she’s from!” and tell her apart from other anime girls.
It’s important to me to make sure that the game’s protagonist has a unique and memorable appearance.
