I'll probably end up redoing this one since I like the concept but not how the sketch came out.

I've been enjoying the idea of making Human Nicole look noticeably low-poly, like something out of an N64 or early PS2 game at best. Mostly because when she's wearing her cute "casual" outfit, the other characters go out of their way to remark that it's a high-poly model that looks more life-like. This is her typical appearance- it gets even more jaggy and basic when her resources are taxed elsewhere in the city. Her 2D facial features seem to "float" on top of her head as they animate, since it's too much work to render the whole face moving.

I always liked that she had such a natural and earthy design once she got a body. I like to think that the barefoot, ethereal look was something she chose on purpose out of a fascination for nature and the basic qualities of organic life, and also partly to make up for the fact that she's still very visibly NOT organic. How do you convince people that you're not a cold hearted computer lady out to spy on their every move? Dress like a hippie.

Not sure if I'll follow the same idea for post-reboot Nicole too. We'll see. :V
