Design Works

The first Metal Fist. A veteran, but with a personality unsuited for the harsh life of magical girl. Dutiful, hard-working, kind at heart, but somewhat superficial. Endures painful things quietly. A "normal girl". She's eager to return to a normal life.

The second Metal Fist. Highly diciplined, fights without hesitation, appears cold, condescending, and calculating -- but is actually a fragile, sentimental, and self-loathing. Betrays human-kind for love.

A tomboyish version of Metal Fist. Too sporty.

A more masculine version of the second Metal Fist. Abandoned -- too manly.

An earlier version of the second Metal Fist. More childish and stereotypically girlish. The orb could change size amd carry her around.

Old work on the raincoat which covers the suit. Various ages, heights, styles and stripe patterns were tested.

Earlier versions of the Metal Fist suit. The surface of the clothing itself was to be some kind of void.

The void-like costume, again. At the end of her journey, a magical girl must be naked. Nakedness --> union with nature --> transcendence --> union with a higher power --> rebirth. This is the secret meaning behind transformation sequences.

Spoilers. Info to come later.

An abandoned costume for a magical ally.

An abandoned design for twin magical girls with an 'occult' flavor. In fact only one is real: one twin (the one with an inferiority complex) sacrificed the other to become a magical girl. The other is the living shadow of regret.

Tests for Metal Fist style. Abandoned for being too close to Paper Eleven.
