Description:
This is one of the art experiments I did for Freedom Planet 2. Milla was the main character that has changed the most since FP1. The initial reception was ok, but I wasn’t so sure. In fact, she was the one that worried me the most. In my FP2 art experiments, 7 out of 10 were about Milla. With Stephen DiDuro the main dev’s permission, I went on to change her in-game pixel art as well (which was mostly animated at that point so changing anything was very time consuming).
Some say I have clear bias towards Milla than the other girls. I say the youngest daughter always gets more attention. And it’s not just me, many fans likes her so too and GalaxyTrail’s SNS account is using her as the online avatar!
And although we endup using the art style below
Milla’s experiment didn’t stop just there. More studies were done on her expressions and gestures. We will see a more lively Milla in the actual game.
