introduction

Musician Memodemo created a very inspiring concept album, Metro Jammers.

Pitched as a soundtrack to a fictional video game, Memo created a captivating universe with delightful characters.
This fanart attempts to bring one of those characters to life and to briefly imagine what a cutscene in Metro Jammers would look like, if it were real game.

model

No concept art of what the Metro Jammers environment would look like has been released, so I created something original based on the vibes described by Memodemo.

Normal Editing

For this project I took the Guilty Gear approach to normal editing to provide clean, artist-first shading, especially around the eyes.

Reference

Though the character belongs to Memodemo, her official art is rendered by Strovi.

shader

Radio

Tiff's radio uses a custom shader that procedurally generates a fake audio visualizer.

Hair Shine

Tiff's hair anime-inspired hair shine is not only generated with nodes, but changes sides based on the viewing angle.

Electricity

Tiff has electric powers, which I decided to handle procedurally with vertex displacement and shader magic.
