Character Concepts Round Three

We continue our attempt to discover an appealing body-type for our rolli-people. I call them this because the idea of them all being princesses has recently been called into question. My personal belief is that the appeal of a princess is that of a person who lives a life of luxury without necessarily needing to do anything. Not only is this not the greatest of role models, but it is also not the most exciting idea for a protagonist.

Another concern that has arisen has been the feasibility of rolling for our characters. A few members of our group worried that animating a character into a rolling position would use up an unnecessary amount of time and effort. As a result I drew up two new body types that would have a very easy time rolling.

Concept 1-4: These characters are all variants on the Psychic Princess character. With the exception of the top right variant, they would all roll simply along the sides of their bodies.

Concept 2: This is another concept for the characters where the rolling is all done on a sphere. This allows for more realistic character proportions, as well as pose-able arms and legs.
