Aurora

 

 

Today, we're gonna be taking a look at one of my favorite characters, Aurora.

Aurora was, if I'm not mistaken, the third character to be created right after the protagonist. She was supposed to be the cheerful girl that gets just way too scared at everything, which serves the horror ambience of the game.  

  

 

 

Just between us, her design is very reminiscent of a character from my favorite anime of all time, Tatami Galaxy. I felt like putting a little something as a nod to it, which is the reason Aurora's hair is very similar to Akashi's. This is even more evident in her early model, back when most of the characters were gonna have very pale skin, much like that anime's artstyle.

Her design didn't actualy changed a whole lot from day one. Aside from her more mature version in the concept art, this is the first draft of her model, while below is Pezkoh's take on it. 

 
He did an amazing job cleaning up the model, which is why the final version is basically this model, but slightly tweaked and updated.

By the way, something that will become apparent as the character names come up, is that all of them have a specific meaning. It took a lot of time to come up with names that worked both in portuguese and english. Aurora's name, of course, comes from the phenomenon, and pairs up really well with her best friend, which you'll get to know next update!
