I am impressed how you fixed, apart from characters look, their history and gave clear explanation on why you add or subtract something from given design.
@@zato_tn Thank you for your hard work then. I am by no means artistic person but i find your videos really interesting on the basis of what I mentioned above. Keep up the good work 👏
You're very talented, not only are you artistically creative but you are also great at story and character writing, :D can't wait for more I love your designs!!
These were all amazing! I like how you also made some backstory for them which immediately made them more interesting in addition to them just looking better
I've watched other artists (not those with oversexualized designs) with their redesigns and the common things they complain are "What are we looking at? What role do they play? Why are the color palettes all around the place? Do they have backstories?". I'm glad artists are actually giving them life rather than make them hot and present it like a buffet.
Loved them all! With almost every one of these recreations. People make the aliens, LOOK like aliens! Not just recolored humans. Lennox and his new lore awesome! Lark I think is the best redesign in this video! Fungus fed by dead flesh taking over an old android body? AMAZING!
Thank you :) Yeah it pissed me off that they took the lazy approach of just recoloring humans. Aliens can be a lot of fun to design I really liked Lark as well :)
I've been binging the Concord re-designs here on UA-cam, and i have to say yours are the best ones! I don't even have a PS5, but I bought a physical copy of Concord. I plan to hang it on the wall like a fine painting.
Lennox and Lark are definitely my favorite because the creativity put into their redesigns makes them interesting But god damn Lennox actually looks like an alien lizard cowboy and it’s not hard to make a character look like that how did Concord screw that up? Good job overall and cannot wait to see the next one in this series
As usual bro cooked. IMO comments: Jabali's coat being opened was genius, you made him 3 dimensional again instead of a flat piece 2d colored shape. I liked most of it and his design informed of what he does and behaves. I liked the OG glasses more, their shiny glare was well defined and felt like a focal point but i understand the changes you made. Maybe for your design i would "flatten" them by making them more mat and make them more one-note so they dont steal from the rest of his now more busy design. Lark was all good. Integrating the mushroom background into the mechanics by combining the weapon with the body was a great solution. You made a believable and interesting character. Haymar was a significant improvements. I personally wish you kept the crossbow, making it her conduit for casting her fire spells, in an 'enchanting' kind of level. Maybe her pose could be one where she holds it with one hand and is clearly feeding it her fire magic with the other. Reimagining of Lennox was a smart decision - nothing about his original seemed remotely interesting to explore or engage with. You did a good job, i just feel like his face is a bit too comics styled with big eyes and a smiling expression. More toughened / mysterious / darker would fit his new lore, imo. I would dirty is orange clothing a bit as he deals in more shady dark jobs now and his skin tone is a bit one-dimensionally green. I think i would reduce some of his overall saturation and add a third color tone to his skin. Lastly the gun-knife is a bit unclear. It looks like an SMG. The only tell visual cue that its a knife is the grip orientation. Those are just my personal opinions tho, and i am not a designer or an artist or anything. Great vid again :)
Ty for the comment! I'm glad you liked it :) Yeah about Jabali, I could've made his glasses a little better, I'll do better next time. I tried adding Haymar's crossbow but I couldn't make it fit. I didn't think about the enchanting theme, it was a skill issue. Lennox backstory was dark but I didn't want him to be mysterious, he would just be a silly dork that ended up in a bad place. I made his eyes big because I was working in a small canvas and the smaller eyes wouldn't really show that well. Also, my main artstyle is realistic manga so I'm biased :P , maybe the gun-knife wasn't very clear because I didn't show it working, I'll post a sketch later.
It`s really interesting how artists feel such a need to redesign characters from a stablished project without trying to investigate it`s art direction.
Not gonna lie, when i saw Lennox con Concord, it didn't go in my mind that this was a lizard guy, i thought this was something like the blue man from Guardians of Galaxy but green and spiky, this redesign looks os much better!
If I had a penny for every failed hero shooter with a mushroom-person character I’d have two pennies. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
From all these channels Redesigning Cocord characters, this is the one, the other ones just oversexualize everyone thinking is good character design, it is as lazy as the original. Here, you have done a more creative approach. Nice work
I've noticed there's a lot of weird greenish-yellow tones in many of the Concord designs. While those colors can work, I feel like their overuse is part of why the designs flopped. When those shades are dominant colors, they can look pretty ugly Also your redesigns are spectacular! I like how you try to work with the base design and expand upon it into something better
Yep the pissy mustardy colors need to be used VERY carefully to not look like shit I'm glad you liked it :) I try not overshadow the originial since this is more like a restoration with some extra flare. They had good concepts but awful execution.
I would be a Lennox and It-Z main with your designs. But at the same time I hella know I would want skins for the character even if the default is so good, just cause you don’t like being seen as a noob. 😅 But damn those default skins hits hard!
Turning Lark into a fungal colony controlling a mech suit is actually genius! Especially considering that recently irl robotics has been turning to fungi to move robots using light pulses! Also love that you made them look like they took over the suit and are slowly overfilling it; kinda makes them look like a sci-fi version of the last of us zombies lol Also, as a queer person: why do AAA game designers think we don't deserve cool characters? Like you can't be cool and queer at the same time?? A single drag queen has more swag than all of the game characters combined... How did they end up with these designs???
After some though I kinda feel like none of the characters sell their design because they do not have good posture. Like none of them looks confident actually.
i think lark is unfixable. literally everything about his design is ugly, only way to fix it is to make a completely different design. not even jenosifying it helps 100%
Jabali and lark are so awesome, haymar i don't like cleavage otherwise pretty cool. Lennox i still hate cuz i hate anything furry that isnt elder scrolls khajiit or argonian
Part 4 is out! ua-cam.com/video/dLY6jMFlc4s/v-deo.htmlsi=kPUOpVD3dC7HNxHU
Also follow me on Twitter! x.com/zatotechnoir
I forgot jabalí was a character also I like that in this video most of the fixes are: “decapitation and add new body”
The french revolution approves
Love the redesign of Lennox, looks so much better than the weird lizard human thing
Ty
I am impressed how you fixed, apart from characters look, their history and gave clear explanation on why you add or subtract something from given design.
Ty for the kind words
@@zato_tn Thank you for your hard work then. I am by no means artistic person but i find your videos really interesting on the basis of what I mentioned above. Keep up the good work 👏
I'm glad you like them, it means a lot to me :)
1000% bigger badass Lennox is how you fix lizard cowboy
Thank you
You're very talented, not only are you artistically creative but you are also great at story and character writing, :D can't wait for more I love your designs!!
Thank you bro
I'm already doing my research for part 4!
Your redesigns are amazing. You made the characters much more distinct and visually appealing.
Thank you :)
These were all amazing! I like how you also made some backstory for them which immediately made them more interesting in addition to them just looking better
Ty :)
A little backstory goes a long way
Those Haymar and Lark designs are crazy good. I can tell there's a lot more passion and enjoyment in this redesign video compared to the previous ones
Ty
I've watched other artists (not those with oversexualized designs) with their redesigns and the common things they complain are "What are we looking at? What role do they play? Why are the color palettes all around the place? Do they have backstories?".

Yeah some fellow artists have just produced AI slop, but the majority has made designs thinking about the whole thing, not just the looks
Everyone looks amazing, specially Lennox
Ty
I see the generic Asian mean girl has kept her superpower of hitting the squat rack. Much respect.
Haymar goes crazy hard. It’s weird to me magic exists but nobody Looks magical. Everyone is just stuck in beige, and weirdly closed off.
Ty bro

13:23 WTF you cooked! Badass Lizard with a cowboy hat, couldn't be more cool
Couldn't agree more
Wow you unlocked Haymar's hidden thiccness, awesome work man
these are all 1000x better. amazing work.
Ty bro
Yoo, it's insane how creative you went with Lark.
Ty
I've been binging the Concord re-designs here on UA-cam, and i have to say yours are the best ones!
I don't even have a PS5, but I bought a physical copy of Concord. I plan to hang it on the wall like a fine painting.
Love your redesign of Duchess in particular. (they were all good) VERY heroic and clearly a fire mage.
Ty
Lennox and Lark are definitely my favorite because the creativity put into their redesigns makes them interesting
But god damn Lennox actually looks like an alien lizard cowboy and it’s not hard to make a character look like that how did Concord screw that up? Good job overall and cannot wait to see the next one in this series

Thank you :)
@@zato_tn
i hope you will make more re-designs
I'll make more!
excellent redesigns sir ! congratz
I'm glad I hear Skyrim Whiterun them in the video
That Lennox redesign goes HARD!!!
Thank you bro
Massive improvements!
Ty bro
literaly the best redesigns
Ty
best lennox redesign i've ever seen
Ty :)
Damn, now this is great work. Especially Lennox
They really should've gone all in on the aliens and scifi for this game
Ty :)
Yep they should've went all in, but chose to stick with the most cookie cutter, weird and boring designs
Not gonna lie, when i saw Lennox con Concord, it didn't go in my mind that this was a lizard guy, i thought this was something like the blue man from Guardians of Galaxy but green and spiky, this redesign looks os much better!
I'm glad you liked it!
He really didn't look like anything, he was a very uncanny version of Yondu (blue man from Guardians)

😭💀
Which one would be the other?
Your Lennox alone should have an indie game with that backstory
That would actually be pretty cool
From all these channels Redesigning Cocord characters, this is the one, the other ones just oversexualize everyone thinking is good character design, it is as lazy as the original. Here, you have done a more creative approach. Nice work
Ty bro
It means a lot
Holy shit these are great
Ty :)
I don't like pvp games, but I think I would've played Concord if your Lennox design was in it.
That's really good to hear :)

Bro gone thru the Puberty from the Second part to the third one,
Jabali reminds me of a Plague Doctor if they dressed cyan
Now that you said it I think that would be a very cool skin!
I wish the black guy had more neck
Yeah now that you said it, I could've increased the length lmao
I would be a Lennox and It-Z main with your designs. But at the same time I hella know I would want skins for the character even if the default is so good, just cause you don’t like being seen as a noob. 😅
But damn those default skins hits hard!
I would too!
I usually don't buy skins but for these ones I'd spend a couple bucks lmao
i like the part 1 more, you need to roast more and do it a bit slower so viewer can notice differences
If I roast them more they will turn into charcoal 💀
Turning Lark into a fungal colony controlling a mech suit is actually genius! Especially considering that recently irl robotics has been turning to fungi to move robots using light pulses!
Also love that you made them look like they took over the suit and are slowly overfilling it; kinda makes them look like a sci-fi version of the last of us zombies lol

Like you can't be cool and queer at the same time??
A single drag queen has more swag than all of the game characters combined... How did they end up with these designs???

4:13 Gyro Zeppeli with green balls
Jojo reference

Dear Lord 😭💀
After some though I kinda feel like none of the characters sell their design because they do not have good posture. Like none of them looks confident actually.
True xD
Many of them lack presence due to their bad posture lmao
dude, why does everyone just throw orbs in this damn game lmao
I dunno xD
4:39 what's the music? something from supergiant games?
The songs used in this video are Aphelios' theme song (LoL), Rell's theme song (LoL) and Skyrim Rainy Night
I didn't like part 2 but this is awesome.
I'm glad you liked this one
What you didn't like about part 2?
Brasil?
Sim, Crentuê. Aqui é BRASIL-SIL-SIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

i think lark is unfixable. literally everything about his design is ugly, only way to fix it is to make a completely different design. not even jenosifying it helps 100%
Do the impossible
See the invisible
Break the unbreakable
Fix the unfixable
Row Row Fight the power!
Jabali and lark are so awesome, haymar i don't like cleavage otherwise pretty cool. Lennox i still hate cuz i hate anything furry that isnt elder scrolls khajiit or argonian
