Platinum Games on Bayonetta and Jeanne’s design in Bayonetta 2
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in Images, News, Wii U | 0 comments
The latest post over on the Platinum Games blog comes from the concept artist responsible for the designs of Bayonetta and Jeanne in Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2, Mari Shimazaki. Shimazaki touches on a number of different topics relating to the characters’ design, such as the the themes behind the character outfits and of course shows off a bit of concept art. Here’s an excerpt:
Bayonetta’s overall theme this time is “Solid.”
She’s still wearing black, and I think her shorter hair gives her a generally more masculine look. While her design in the last game focused on curves, this time we see more straight lines. All of her accessories follow this, except her glasses, which I gave a slightly softer design.

Some of the physical characteristics of Miis get carried over when you use them as Mii Fighters. The smaller ones become speed fighters and the bigger ones are more akin to power fighters.
