Well TBF she has bug limbs but
yeah, Belle is designed as a doppelganger. Her design may change a bit but she's mostly gonna look like Arisa I think.

choose one!
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - Garamonde - 10-28-2012
The skinny one.
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - recme - 10-28-2012
the one on the left
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - StarSock64 - 10-28-2012
I'm a little confused about why she's a bullethead in the first place, honestly. I don't think we need any more.
It's more harsh than I mean to say, but it's getting a little bit Silver-the-Hedgehog in here...
(yes, yes I know Jetters)
Can't you make her something else...?
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - TomGuycott - 10-28-2012
Make her a shotgun shell.
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - Garamonde - 10-28-2012
How else do you make a doppelganger character...? To be blunt here, all of TSR seems to want all completely different characters and nothing else.
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - Chaoxys - 10-28-2012
Oh wait... She's a bullet? I saw her name and thought she was a bell. Whoops.
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - StarSock64 - 10-28-2012
Guycott's idea might work (but I think you would have to work with details like the hair to make it clear she's more rectangular/cylindrical...)
it's similar enough to connect them but it's still different.
I'd rather have a Knuckles/Nack/Fang than a Shadow/Silver. Not for something arbitrary like "must have different lol!!" but because it's more interesting to look at that way. I look at her and I don't...well, to be honest I don't really care. Which is kind of the exact opposite you want from a recurring rival character. She needs something more characteristic than being yellow Arisa.
I mean, even Shadow and Silver have "moody demeanor and color scheme to show ultimate Coolitude!" and "dhurrhurr psychic powers." And wario, the yellow mario, looks significantly different and has stand-out characteristics of his own

She's not animated, nor she has any dialogue yet, so it's kinda weird to judge this aspect.
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - StarSock64 - 10-28-2012
If you need animation and dialogue for your character to stand out then you're not doing character design right.
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - Mutsukki - 10-28-2012
While I kinda agree with dialogue, a huge deal of personality comes from animation. We're analyzing a concept here. It's a character that's supposed to be a parallel to the other, while she looks similar, she has elements that make her stand out from Arisa and animation will just add onto that, making it more apparent.
Let me ask you something, if they were both human characters would you complain about it like this too?
RE: SUPER ARISA WORLD - StarSock64 - 10-28-2012
If they looked too similar, yes, I would?
Goku and Vegeta. Saiyans. Same color hair. Easy to tell apart? Different characteristics that tell you something about them? Yes
Naruto and Sasuke? Yes
Spider-man and Venom?
Ash/Red and Gary?
Literally every decent rival pair in existence?
I don't get why we're defending poor design decisions because it ~might~ get better. She just looks like a flat recolor. Nothing about her stands out. Nothing about her design tells me -anything at all-, literally -nothing- except "yellow Arisa". I was under the impression that recolor characters were a -bad thing- (or else we would accept all the sonic fancharacters that stumble on the board)
Animation is REALLY not going to make THAT big of a difference. It's just not. Unless she's a shape-shifter.
