Alacrity 2d Costume Design 1

Commission for the awesome

Been working on a 2d animated style for alacrity. The idea is to provide some solid designs that were simple enough to animate, yet detailed enough to kick ass. There is a balancing act going on, because if you notice many 2d animations out there, there really is very little detail, only enough to identify the character. These WOULD be the official designs used in animation, but i ended up adding even more detail later which can be easily removed. Here is the first set of costumes. Had a lot of fun.

Alacrity:

Alacrity is a genetic experiment, part of a supersoldier programme.
Instead of brute strength/speed/size/endurance, Alacrity is bred for agility and power in a small frame.
Her controllers consider Ala an imperfect specimen, whose bionetic grafts fail, and far short of their expectations.

They give their overly-rebellious reject a suicide mission.
Alacrity escapes far away, and after a brief period as a vagabond, is inevitably captured for a spate of crimes.
All convicts are sent to the far colonies, where Ala eventually breaks free again. Her origins remain hidden.

Now on the run, Alacrity is an outcast who makes her living on the fringes of civilization as a rogue and mercenary.
