A hero worthy of the name

The hero is the heart of the project. If he can’t look and move like the character-select art, nothing else matters. The first 3D versions walked hunched over, looked blocky, or simply didn’t have his face.

A dedicated hero lab tried model after model until one finally matched the cartoon style of the reference art. After some touching up of his hair and colours, he was approved and placed into all four rooms of the Intro.
