First concept 3
Early concept of the Nothern Shoal hideout

First sketches of Misi alongside the Nothern Shoal. Initially, each member of the first division of the shoal wore a distinct-pattern hoodie, alongside the red sunglasses. Some of these designs didn't change that much.

Misi's first design. A variation of my sona from back then, the main issue was the outfit, not only the very recognizable pattern, but the palette and clothing in general did not fit with the time and aesthtic of the world of Skullgirls.

Misi's final design. The clothing and color palette were modified, alongside a better detailing of her entire design, powers and personality. Around this time, the lore of Misi and the Nothern Shoal started to take shape as a whole.

✦ Talksprites & Sprites
