Jo Nah - Tumblr Posts

little late today, but that's FOUR le-june-aires......ya boy jo mama, the most ultra boy

this is one i've reworked a bunch of times actually, and i like where he ended up for now...there is a lot to work with for mr nah but also a lot about his usual design that is sort of generic

my first mission was to make him look like an alien, so i gave him spikes and some green scaly skin. one thing i've tried to avoid is ONLY making these characters Alien by crayon-boxing their skin, so for some of them i've given them a human-ish tone but with non-human features, like here. tbh i'm not TOTALLY sold on it, but i think it works alright

putting a little more personality into jo's design is a lot of fun - i LOVE jo's power gimmick, and giving him those wonky haphazard spike does two things: make him look ready to tussle and rumble, and make him look a little off-kilter and unbalanced. the hope is that this communicates his very Roll With The Punches shtick

i had to make him beefy. i liked super beefy jo from retroboot. i also like long hair for jo, and i put it in that floofy ponytail to use some more triangles and squares basically...

as for colors, the green and red is kind of necessary to be recognizable as ultra boy, but i desaturated and darkened the red more than usual. i wanted to keep those obnoxious green pants, and i think that dimming the shirt a bit helps it look a little more cohesive. i also am a fan of staying away from generic spandex when possible, so i gave him that ripped shirt.......over his spandex............to make him look cool
