Character Design: Shura the Bloodied

Character design work for my own personal fighting game project: Shura, the Bloodied - Once a respected warrior, she happened across a cursed blade known as the Crimson Lily. A blade that controls and strengthens itself in battlefield blood. While allowing her to keep up with the dangers of her profession, the blade drives its user to crave violence.

The idea is to have her attacks change the more a match continues. The more damage that is dealt to her and the opponent, the greater her range and combo options become.
