Fan Game Idea (The Idolm@ster Wrestle for You!)
MetalPredat0r:
The spotlight goes to one of the rival characters from the JWSF Super Stars, Ellen Kurosawa with the unveiling of her character design along with her casual and wrestling outfits. Here ya go.
Now I know what a good chunk of you may be thinking, "She's got massive boobs for a girl her age. What gives?" Ellen is quite the voluptuous girls, isn't she? ;) Anyway, I wanted to make a character that would fit the archetype of a nerdy character, but at the same time make her look like she would be the attractive dream girl that any man (and some women) would want. Ellen's design is essentially a breakaway of the usual nerd design seen in cartoons. Normally the nerds are unattractive characters with pimples all over the place, tucked in shirts, horribly clad in plaid, buck teeth coupled with braces, and glasses nobody would be caught dead wearing. (No offense to fictional nerds everywhere.) Ellen was designed to be the complete inverse. She looks very cleaned up, has a sense of fashion, her glasses look normal, her braces are barely noticeable (in fact, they're not visible at all here), and her only "pimple" is a beauty mark under her cheek. You can say that she's an expy of Velma Dinkley, another nerdy character who has some sort of attractiveness factor to her design. Also, if you remember from her profile, her bust size is on-par with Azusa, 765Pro's largest when it comes to bust size.
Ellen's wrestling outfit was slightly inspired by King from the Tekken series. Originally, I wanted Ellen to wear a mask with her outfit. I penciled it into the design and immediately thought it looked kinda silly. So I went with the Magic Indestructible Glasses. Hey, it works. :P
Ellen's backstory has her enter the JWSF for two reasons. One is because her mother wanted her to take part in some form of exercise since Ellen rarely ever goes to the gym. Another reason being that Ellen is taking over as a spiritual successor to her retired girlfriend (more on that later), Nicole Sanchez, who previously competed in the JWSF as its only Hispanic competitor. Nicole retired after too many losses and injuries in the ring and Ellen decided to take over and continue her legacy.
From that last paragraph, I have confirmed one very significant detail about Ellen. She is, in fact, homosexual. This detail was to give a character that is homosexual, but without her becoming a stereotype about it. In fact, she fits the nerd stereotype more than she does the lesbian stereotype. I do feel that homosexual people can be featured in the media just as well and positively as heterosexual people.
Personally, Ellen is my favorite of the three rival characters. Her design, personality, and overall character is one I had a lot of fun with. I guess it has to do with my fancy for nerdy girls with big breasts and glasses. ::)
So that's Ellen. Leave your thoughts on what you think about her. Do you like her? Are you annoyed by her? What details about her got you interested?

I'm actually fond of Ellen. I like that you're breaking stereotypes with her--she's a nerd, but she's incredibly attractive. She's homosexual, but she's not tomboyish and weird in public (I assume so, at least).
In any case, I like her! Good job!

Pfft, that's normal for me. :P Weird for me would be...well, I'm not sure I want to talk about it, let's leave it at that. :P

Introducing Strikers. Every character has a unique assist character that helps them in the middle of the match whenever the appropriate button command is pressed. Here's Yayoi's Striker, Emperor Penguin. This also confirms that Ellen, along with Ayako, Marie, Melissa, Alex, and even Nicole are playable in Versus Mode after meeting certain requirements.
Btw, Grace and Liza, this is, by technicality, representing Xenoglossia. This isn't all that its getting, though.
