It’s about that time for you Resident Evil Village fix. Luckily, IGN has a little something for you in the form of some new concept art for the upcoming Survival Horror ditty.
In addition to Town‘s art director Tomonori Takano sharing concept pieces, he once again dished out Lady Dimitrescu. To add to his previous revelation about her height, Takano revealed that the tower vampire’s shoe size is 44 cm (17.3 inches), which is almost double the average female shoe size. Takano designed Lady Dimitrescu’s shoes based on a real pair of high heels, which he scanned and then digitally changed to fit Dimitrescu’s height.
And yes, he gave a picture of the shoes.
In addition to shoes, Takano also talks about the origins of the villain (in addition to the previous information about Morticia Addams / Elizabeth Báthory) and says that the team initially Resident Evil 7says Mia “and had her wear a dress and hat” in their early tests. ‘I thought that would be enough to give her a ghostly trait, but we could not make her feel scared. Then we decided to make the character model much bigger. This was the beginning of Lady Dimitrescu. ”
From there, Takano and director Morimasa Sato began to develop the idea of creating a castle environment for Dimitrescu, which was originally entirely populated by women. “The original concept was a castle populated only by women,” Sato recalls. ‘We tried a lot of different things to scare the countess and feel like a boss character. There were ideas to make her more creature-like as well, but in the end we felt that a tall woman was the simplest yet most powerful thing we could do. ‘
