DOWNLOAD FOR BEST VIEW PLEASE! :
ALSO, I PUT A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME INTO THIS, CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APRECIATED PLEASE! :D

This particular meme really did help me learn a few things with my drawing so many thanks to :devamberneeley: for helping me learn a few more techniques and nailing down some of my currently used ones ^^!

This is also *amberneely's meme, which really does help character development, by designing particular ages of a character! For a blank copy check out [link]

5yrs - Red lives and was born in the sky platorm known as Cloud Carpet, high in Earths atmosphere with her Mother and Father, a family in the business of zeroG mechanics. Her father took her frequently to the F-Zero races at the nearby "Icarus" circuit, and it was there when she first came into contact with the sport. It was love at first sight and she couldnt resist the speed that the hovering machines were travelling. It was as if that speed was implanted into her mind, as this first encounter would form the beginning of her journey to become an F-Zero Pilot.

13yrs- Still living in Cloud Carpet, but has now travelled to other reaches of the Galaxy to visit various F-Zero venues. Red has begun with her Father to create her own machine capable to entering the competition herself. Her passion for the sport has only gotten ever stronger as she as aged and she works hard so she can finish her machine, the Dawn Vulture, while studying mechanics at the Cloud Carpet School of Machinery. Shortly after the machines completion, her mother dies by illness and begins a rough time for Red.

17yrs. A year before she turns 17, the Dawn Vulture is complete, fully made by her Father and herself, Red officially passes the F-Zero preliminary tests and obtains her racing license, which enables her to enter the world of F-Zero for the first time. Her first race however isnt hugely successful, with a power faliure halfway through her first race at Regent City. Her Father continues to assist her as the chief mechanic of the Vulture, and Red begins her racing career. She has also Graduated from the Mechanics school, and has formed a crush on fellow racer Sugimoto Yakama, but has yet to reveal this to him.

25yrs. Red has lost alot over the last 8 years, including her father, and almost her own life, if not for the quick witted Sugimoto, who came to her Aid in the middle of the high speed Silence 700 race when she was 21. A hugely enduring race, where she pushed the limits of the Dawn Vulture too much and had a horrific accident destroying most of the engines and the frame of the machine. Sugimoto Yakama of the Atmos Dragon came to her aid and forfitted his own high up position, just to save the close friend he had gained over the last few years. The First Dawn Vulture had exploded violently soon after her rescue. Red woke up in a hospital bed a few days later, heavily scarred across the upper left side of her body, and was greeted by Sugi. She only could smile, and a tear fell onto her cheek. It was then she knew her true, She returned to full time racing a year later, with her new and personally made Dawn Vulture, in honour of her Mother and Father, who helped her reach where she is now. This time with new inspiration, and a new love, even if he is a fellow rival and competitor! Her true story would begin here.

Red Skytorque is a completely original character within the fictional future of F-Zero i am designing.

F-Zero is owned by Nintendo. (Make a new F-Zero god damnit Nintendo, Stop wasting time with casual games!)

Thanks again to :iconamberneeley: for the fantastic meme!

hehe well I'm in no way an art critic or anything of the sort, but I thought you did a nice job with the backgrounds. Also her eyes and facial expressions caught my attention, my personal favorite was the last one =)

Looks really good! :D
It's impressive how it looks like the same person in all the pictures and I like how you coloured her hair :)
:iconyuki-senshi:
All that time really paid off luke this truly is amazing!.
I still kind of let out a little squee when i see 5 year old Red hehe ,does look cute ^ ^.
The sky behind her looks kewl too , especially the moon i think it would look odd and a little empty without that.
At 13 i just love the change , the hair style suits that of a teenager i think , and i really like how the eyes are really friendly and look quite young but still they show determination(yeh i find weird things like that XD).
On to 17 ^ ^, again i really like the hair it was a nice change from the earlier teenage years so it looks like Red is really growing up and getting more serious ^ ^.
Nice work with the outfit ^ ^like the colours used and nice work on the creases ^ ^.

Finally 25 , just O_O wow.
hehe you have done so well with Red at that age the form is just stunning , her outfit is amazing.The skin tones and scars look really well done so kudos for that ^ ^.
I also like the length that Red's hair is here as it suits the more serious grown up kinda style and her eyes are quite striking :D

Overal you have done a amazing job :D

I think the patience really lost it with that final background :XD:. Its scenery from F-Zero itself, and it was getting fairly late, me being pretty tired so i decided to go on with Game artwork. I had alot of fun with this meme, and im glad how it came out :).

Thank you for the feedback!

I really dont know if i drew 5yr that well :XD:, cause i have never really drawn a child before so i aint too sure with that one hehe. Im happy you like the sky, i tried to picture the scene from one of the Games, where she lives and try create it as well as i could ^^. The moon i felt would have been a good touch and im glad you think so :).

I find it great when people tell me what they think regarding little features and their meaning and its also great how you thought her eyes shew detemination :), trying to build her first machine she would have had fire in her eyes ^^

I like how you think her growing up, that she gets more serious, so thanks for noticing that :)

And im glad you like her 25 yr old look! Scars of the past showing through, i wasn't too sure just how it would be viewed by others but im thankful you think the tones look good ^^

Thanks again for the feedback, i really apreciate it! :D
