Marvel Team-Up: Mid-Century Modern Pedestrian Character Designs

An important component to achieving the Mid-Century Modern art direction for the game, the people on the streets of New York City needed to be designed. As mentioned in the Times Square post, the designs of the early 60’s needed to be identified in the supporting elements and in this case the pedestrians. I broke down the parts of the pedestrians into these categories of design focus: Hairstyles and Fashion.

I narrowed the fashion direction to the clean and simple styles as seen below.
