Bayonetta 3 shows off lots of character art
PlatinumGames has kicked off a series of blog posts for Bayonetta 3, and for this entry, fans are treated to concept art of the characters. We not only have a look at Bayonetta, but Viola as well.
Lead character designer and art director Mari Shimazaki mentioned that just like with Bayonetta 2, Bayonetta has received another makeover. Shimazaki highlighted her look from the opening segment of the game and mentioned how “she can wear just about anything and still look beautiful, but this casual look feels really fresh and brings out Bayonetta’s flair in a new way.”
As for Viola, PlatinumGames “wanted to make Viola just as characteristic and unique”. It goes without saying here, but Shimazaki stated that much work is involved in coming up with a brand new character.
Shimazaki concluded with the following:
I think I’ve been able to share some nifty details with you regarding our creative approach to character design this time. We made sure to pay painstaking attention to all the little details when creating each piece of Bayonetta’s and Viola’s costumes and equipment so as to accentuate and reflect their unique personalities and characteristics.
Here’s a video showcasing character concept art for Bayonetta and Viola in Bayonetta 3:
