chrono and lucca redesigns

No new art for the 30th anniversary of Chrono Trigger but ... you could say I'm a fan 😘

#fanart #ChronoTrigger and don't forget the #ChronoConcept tag to see a LOT of redesigns 🥰

Belthasar. Great chance to make some changes and add some damn melanin into this game. I wanted her to look really sage and have some good contrast between her and Melchior. Still classy but more flowy, less harsh silhouette, somebody you could see work in isolation for a long time

Melchior, the Guru of Life! Good chance to make some changes. I always thought he had a very playful personality, I see him as more of a swordmaster, a war hero, a flamboyant old man, somebody who likes to laugh and tell stories, possibly blind. Affable, open and mysterious all at the same time He didn’t even change his aesthetic when he time traveled, hinting at a deep love for his Kingdom of Origin so lets push that!

Gaspar. Not too much of a redesign, more of an updated! I like the classical look from the original, but I also see Gaspar as somebody who is a bit out of touch and not as good at disguising his magical nature as he thinks he is … maybe he floats a bit by accident while he sleeps! I added some color accents reminiscent to his Zeal design and overall made him look a biiit more “magical gnome” like which I think fits him well

Atropos in her regular pink armor, with a big bow atop her head and overall looking less shabby than Robo does

Atropos XR! Made some alterations to the factory model for a little extra personality. I considered changing the pink but seeing how there are a lot of women in this game, having one be a more “typical” girl and, even better, going the robot route did seem like a good thing.

Doan. I think his original design is … fine but theres a lot of room to do something more significant here. 300 years after the apocalypse humans have become tribal again, with the lack of food, sunshine, probably excess radiation and whatever else, humans should look slightly different, especially as they age and deteriorate it shouldn’t be shocking to see cybernetic implants and discolored skin. They would still look for trinkets, they would still adorn their leaders with ways to distinguish them, this kind of stuff is prevalent through human history and it would persist even in 2300

I need to cleanup my feeds (delete them and tone down my tag usage, cause they're more for organizing anyways: #fanart and #oc covers most of my work and if I have projects that I want to catalog they'll get their own hashtags as well, then added to my profile like #ChronoConcept and #spriteart

art of Johnny from Chrono Trigger, arms wide, two giant tires on his shoulders and one acting as his legs. Hes wearing kamina glasses and an orange jacket, big exhaust pipes on either side

Johnny!
In the spirit of change, I wanted him to have the one legged look and, if that means he transforms into a 3 wheel vehicle, thats fine. I liked the Greaser look so I pushed it, made the leather jacket orange for some better contrast, kept the BADYEAR, of course! 😎

#fanart #ChronoConcept

Serge from Chono Cross looking a bit more like a pirate than usual but still very much a fantasy fisherman at its core. This version of him has some melanin so hes got dark skin, holding a fishing spear. His clothes are more open and loose, revealing a necklace

Serge, the main character from Chrono Cross doesn’t appear in the original Chrono Trigger. If there was a remake it would make sense to travel to 1020 for a side quest and meet Serge before the events of CC. Also, why should Serge be yet another white boy? ❤️to melanin

Lucca from Chrono Trigger seen sleeping next to a machine in her house. Her glasses have fallen off her face and she clearly fell asleep by accident since the lightbulb next to her is still on and is illuminating the scene

I can only imagine how many times Lucca fell asleep trying to work on some sort of machinery that would fix her mother’s legs. That work ethic would pay off big time for her in the future

Marle admires some jewelry at a stand in the Millennial Fair. Leene's Bell is visible in the backdrop as is Crono seen running around without much of a care

I picture Marle having a fun time at the Millennial Fair, the thrill of behaving like a regular passerby being the highlight, but also browsing shops and bargaining for deals ... it's no wonder she was quite unaware of some hyper active redhead running around
#ChronoConcept #fanart #artpost 🎨

Magus with a bare chest design, demon horns, a surly face where hes ignoring you. Holding his scythe behind his back like he doesnt give a shit but still about to slice you up if you look at him funny

Magus with a more traditional, scary pose. He has his scarf from when he was a child, has a lot more jewelry, ornaments, big capes, etc. Its what youd expect but more, with attention to his complex earrings and other such details

Magus, 2 versions, still not sure which one is best!

1st, hes an adult! A thirst trap! A radical change from the rest of the cast, even though hes baring his chest he still looks unapproachable
2nd, more magic, more cult leader, more Zeal Kingdom. Closer to source

#ChronoConcept #fanart #artpost 🎨

Ayla stretching her arms upwards, presumably after she just got done smacking some reptites around. Her design is close to the original but less manicured, wilder and unkempt but still has flair and even a touch of prehistoric royalty to it

For Ayla I knew I wanted darker skin, wilder hair and the colored streaks make good additions to the design. As tribe leader she gets to be flamboyant! Dropped the club, she doesn't need it, she needs to look like she can wreck house all by herself.

Crono practicing his swordplay with a dummy right outside his house. Hes wielding his trusty wooden sword and the yard is severely unkempt but that doesn't stop him from prancing around

I love the idea of Crono living a bit of a secluded life (if you notice, his house is a bit farther from Guardia than most) working on his swordmanship skills and not taking care of the yard

#ChronoConcept #fanart #artpost 🎨

Robo seen in the typical front shot. The arms are a bit longer and you can see a bit more nuts and bolts than in the original design

Robo is a perfect design in Chrono Trigger, so less is more here. Just redrawing him in my style and making sure he looks like he can open up was enough for me. Drawing robots is hard!

#ChronoConcept #fanart #artpost 🎨

Lucca from Chrono Trigger, the redesign makes her look more sleepy, gives her a bigger coat and still uses plenty of steampunkish looking gadgetry to give her that cool, confident medieval scientist look

Lucca needs to feel a bit more sciency, maybe a bit sleep deprived and give you a sharp contrast from Marle. I imagine shes wearing her dads lab coat, hence why it looks a tad too big on her. Lets also try a different scarf design, for variety!

#ChronoConcept #fanart #artpost 🎨

Marle from Chrono Trigger posing facing forward and holding up the strap attached to her crossbow casing. She retains her confident look but her natural blonde hair is seen on her roots, shes a bit more muscular than before (you try carrying a crossbow around) and her jewelry is a bit more ornamental than before, including a bigger choker. Her pendant is also visible in the concept art

Up for another #ChronoConcept post? I got a lot of these so please look forward to them 😘

Marle! Shes running away from the palace, trying hard to pass off as a local but not doing a great job ... that includes a rushed dye job and forgetting to remove the royal jewelry

#fanart #artpost 🎨

Crono, posing with his trademark katana and smiling. He looks a bit more boyish than in the Toriyama design and overall looks like a less polished samurai in training with wilder hair. Hes a samurai fanboy that lives in the sticks with his mom so I wanted to make him look a bit less polished than his original design

Crono, but now in female form. I really wanted the player to potentially have a choice in gender and then I wanted each one to have a different flavor. Female Crono is also a wannabe samurai but this one is more by the book, a bit more studious and maybe more into the proper sword forms. The hair is different but still hits the same vibe which is a mass of flowing red hair

Since female Crono is a very new concept I wanted to explore her further so this sheet shows some expressions and poses for the character. These poses show a confident, playful person who enjoys life in a big way but can still be a badass when needed

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game, an RPG with a great premise, combat, music and of course characters by the late Toriyama
#ChronoConcept is a concept project for an imaginary remake of the game

So lets start with Crono! Male and Female versions!

Thoughts in the al text!
