Today, Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5173826/songbird-appears-in-marvel-ultimate-alliance-2) noticed that Songbird will be joining the roster of characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. This was revealed through an update to the MUA2 official website (http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/en/news_comments/making_of_songbird/).
Songbird was one of the easier characters to concept since we already liked her design a lot and decided that we really didn’t want to change all that much. We had lots of great reference material but ultimately it was Marko Djurdjevic’s cover art from the Thunderbolts (series #111-121) that really resonated with us. We felt that his overall art style and costume designs perfectly suited the look we were going for – A kind of gritty realism with more subdued colors and a great attention to detail. The covers are very beautifully painted and we wanted some of that illustrative quality to come through in our models as well. Additionally, we liked how Marko gave Songbird a harder look rather than being just another pretty face: her expressions are tense and serious. Of course, we still wanted to make Songbird attractive, but we tried to choose a likeness that conveyed her underlying emotions in a more believable manner.
I cannot wait for this game. MUA was just all around a blast to play.
