For this design I took from his lore that he was found frozen and presumed dead, and the fact that most heroes call him an Ice Wight. I wanted to balance the lore but still keeping the iconic elements of classic Kelvin, also it’s a fun contrast a cold corpse has the warmest soul.
-heroes call him an ice wight/revenant I researched ice wights in fantasy like the white walkers from GOT for the main inspiration. Maybe I went too overboard with the open rib cage ice heart, but my concept was having him shoot his ice beam from his chest than from his Neon Prime (viscous) gun.
-his ice arm came from the fact that I couldn’t come up with a fitting 1940s weapon for him (that wasn’t a flimsy pistol) and that shot at the same fire rate. The inspiration came from Diamondhead from Ben 10 where he shoots shards from his hands. If you think that’s too weird remember Drifter shoots his nails. I do see how it can be very out of place, especially how sharp the hand contrasts with his warm nature. I needed a placeholder for the replacement. I’ll do better next time
-other small details I just thought were fun is having him throw his lanterns as his ice bombs
-I stand by the ice zombie aesthetic. Kelvin looks okay but in a game with amazing character designs, I just needed more than red haired Mei the rock on its backis cool though.
I tried my best to keep a lot from original Kelvin from his parka and his Lucious red beard. I agree it’s too weird and that’s what I needed. Hope you guys like it any ideas for abilities, weapon, let me know
