This character design is a love letter to three different long-standing game inspirations of mine - Jet Set Radio, Lethal League (which was inspired by it), and The Designers Republic (who did the amazing design work for the early Wipeout games and a ton of my favourite album covers). As much as I love them all, I feel like my work hasn't taken much from their aesthetic, so I thought I'd fix that. You ever feel like your style doesn't really match the stuff you love the most? We should spend more time going back to work we admire and aping it!
