CHRONO TRIGGER RECONCEPT PROJECT

This is my personal long form concept project. Redoing all the concept art of Chrono Trigger, the legendary Super Nintendo RPG from Square Enix, is no small task!

This is a character and, eventually, a world exploration. A way for me to work on my character design muscle. Some are complete reinventions, some are tweaks and some are celebrations. I want these to feel loose, fun and varied.

EXTENDED CAST AND NPC’S

flea

I wanted to keep Flea fun, alluring, magical and still change elements from his portrayal that just haven’t aged well. Hopefully this design resonates well with the old fans and it’s a fresh enough look to stand on its own

dragon_tank

The Dragon Tank fight is a pivotal moment in the game, and I remember it being heavily advertised so it had to deliver! Mechanical designs are not really my thing and I really like Toriyama’s approach to his vehicles so I tried to learn from him here

dalton

Dalton, I knew I wanted to lean HEAVY on the JoJo influences. He is an extravagant person WITHIN Zeal so he needed to be extra on top of extra … and what better inspiration than Arakis work
