Concept Art #36: Generations of Michelle

Hi Silver Cow Patrons,

It's time for a brand new Concept Art posting! This time, we're showing you a look at how the Time Window's gruff but big-hearted Commander and Operations Manager, Michelle, has evolved over the history of the Time Tenshi series!

First up, on the left we have her original appearance in the very first Time Tenshi from way back in 2015! She's wielding her trademark cane, and she has that beautiful long, red hair! You can see that the position of her cane was moved slightly from the sketch to the final version of her sprite, but that was more or less the only change.

Next up is Michelle's sprite from Time Tenshi 2! Interestingly, no sketch exists of her casual clothes in this game, which is very likely because of a certain (spoilerific) incident involving the Time Window! But you can see from her original sketch that her expression was originally even gruffer before being mellowed out a little in her final art. She has a happy expression too, but serious is her default look!

Finally, on the right is her appearance from Time Tenshi Paradox! She's now wearing a salmon pinky-red top with a checkered miniskirt, and - of course - she still has her cane! Her sketch this time features a smiling expression, and we think it suits her really well. Maybe she's cheered up a little since the events of the first game? She certainly seems happier to be over that "incident"!

As of the time of writing, her Paradox illustration is her most recent look... but that's about to change with her newly revised art for Time Angels, the latest game in the series that's in development right now here at Silver Cow! Take a closer look at the logo here - we'll be showing you more soon!

In the meantime, we hope you enjoyed this special look at the ever-popular Michelle and her design history!

Thanks for your awesome support,
