Buxley the Gecko =
KobaltSteel
New OC I came up with for a game project I want to do. The game project I wanted to do was to be some type of 1990s Mascot Platformer that heavily pulled from 3D Sonic games, but I was running into problems with the character I wanted to use; I wanted to use existing characters, but none of them had the necessary round ball-shaped body needed for the momentum-based 3D platforming I wanted to do, so I decided to make a new character instead.
While I'll expand upon the character in future pics, what I generally came up with is like a gecko character who is supposed to be like a hybrid of Sonic's Espio the Chameleon and 1990s mascot Gex the Gecko; despite the cutesy face seen here, the intention is like a gecko with attitude, a character who is a selfless and altruistic warrior of justice, but can be reckless and is one who tends to let his pride get in the way, fueling his drive to be victorious in conflicts.
The design is meant to focus on functionality, with him being designed to be like a pudgy ball character able to roll around like Sonic; the current iteration of Buxley's design is pulled from Gex the Gecko, but replacing the classy James Bond parody design elements with something sportier and more adventurous, with stuff like tall boots and a scarf. However, upon reflection, it might be better to try and simplify the character design with fewer colors and patterns on the design, more like a classic Sonic character.
