Since the start of the game's development, we knew we wanted to make Yvonne an official member of the Toxic Crusaders! In the original cartoon, Yvonne took a mostly supportive role to the team, boosting their morale with one of her songs or giving conveniently helpful advice to her boyfriend, Toxie. This time around, as the game is a "continuation" of the original cartoon, we wanted to have Yvonne join the fray as a playable character and now an official member of the team!
To start things off, we’ve got images in the order of Yvonne from the original cartoon, Claire from The Toxic Avenger: Part II, and Sarah from Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV. The idea was to combine elements from all iterations of Toxie’s girlfriend into the Yvonne we see in this game!
And here we have some of Yvonne’s early concept art drawn by our Art Director, Xander!
Next up, we’ve got an example her early in-game sprite (left) and her final version (right) made by pixel artist Jerky (@HyperJerk):
And, finally, here’s a look at how Yvonne will appear in the game’s motion comic cutscenes! Drawn by UK Comic Artist Steve Gregson:
