Meta Armour Rosebud: Kramer The Entertainer - Special K

Meta Armour Rosebud is a personal project inspired by character-driven action games like Street Fighter, Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, and Overwatch. It’s something I plan to continue developing over time. The larger goal is to create a roster of unique characters who pilot giant mechanical robots known as Meta Armours, along with their own on-foot abilities and playstyles. Eventually, the project will expand to include the design of their accompanying mechs.

This post focuses on the design behind one of those characters, Kramer the Entertainer; an eccentric bounty hunter and theatrical heel to a protagonist who has yet to be developed.
