Nola although is a capable individual, doesn&#8217;t mean she wants to be alone again, especially after discovering a life after living on the streets for so long. For her aesthetics, I want to make her look unisex, whilst still keeping some feminine aspects to incorporate in her design. Out of all the NPCs in the game, she will have the most outfits; I want to make a pre-circus life design, her main circus costume and another costume that she borrows from Wendy (this can only be achieved when she reaches a certain friendship threshold with her).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Initial Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"888\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-10.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-10-300x260.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-10-768x666.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting off with the main costume, I want to incorporate really fluffy materials, whilst making it look tomboyish.

When I look to making my finalised design, I want to design Nola in gender neutral clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finalised Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"877\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/img_1187-1-1024x877.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/img_1187-1-1024x877.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/img_1187-1-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/img_1187-1-768x658.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/img_1187-1-1536x1316.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/img_1187-1.jpg 1947w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the design I worked hard on, I used some images from my mood board and went on Pinterest to find new images to help me with my vision. In regards to Nola&#8217;s colour palette, I wanted to use primary colours, later on I felt that the red top \/ blouse made her look like an &#8220;angry&#8221; character, so I changed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"876\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-22-1024x876.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-22-1024x876.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-22-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-22-768x657.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/pv2g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/12\/image-22.png 1148w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, I came up with this. I like this colour palette more as it uses primary colours and it makes her character appear more soft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nola is protagonist of No Entry After Midnight, the player is first introduced to her whilst she&#8217;s still on the streets.
