Patreon devlog update 1: of dreams and dreamers
Added 2018-07-22 04:19:43 +0000 UTCSo , since i finished sketching the studies for one of the more important characters in area 2, the hollow man motel i decided that maybe you guys might like to see what we are going for for them
first we have Dab, a dream demon. We initially thought it'd be cool to have him and his friend, Sid, be joined into a kind of a symbiotic/parasitic relationship. We started with Dab beign wore like a fursuit by Sid, then something a bit sillier with the candle man Dab casting a shadow over Sid. The freddy krueger bear joined by its butt to a sleepign Sid was a really popular idea, but ultimately we decided to have Dab be its own separate characte. We might still go for the Freddy krueger-esque Dab, we're still not sure. What do you guys think?
Sid is Dab's friend and also the owner of the hollow man motel. The idea behind him is that he is destined to rule, but he's really, REALLY lazy. i explored some concepts thinking about various ruling figures. He's still up in the air, but our team seem to favor either the king-type or the jrpg final boss type. maybe a combination of the two ?
anyways that's all i've got for today, more to come and thank you , thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing support you've all been showing me, it's so incredible ! <3
edit: i'm attaching the full resolution images on the post since patreon doesn't seem too keen on showing them bigger than a stinkbug's dick XD let me know if this is ok or i should make multiple image posts for the next updates!

the thing is, most jrpg final bosses are angelic pretty boys! i feel the reference would've been lost if it was something burlier and manlier?

2018-07-28 10:37:02 +0000 UTCthe idea of a Jrpg looking Sid would be great, but maybe a differing line of final-boss look, something less "anime-pretty-boy" and more hybrid of man/machine/monster to give it a bit of a visual mix between a ruling tyrant and one sleepy monster.

2018-07-28 02:02:00 +0000 UTCyeah i think i'll do a version of the freddy krueger Dab without his host attached just to see how it works, also noted on the warlord preference <3 !

2018-07-24 01:50:52 +0000 UTCFor dab, I like the Freddy Kreuger one the most. XD And for Sid Warlord. :3

2018-07-23 17:10:46 +0000 UTCWell i was trying to explore the concepts , that’s why they’re so varied! Also noted, seems the dictator type seems to be gaining some popularity!

2018-07-22 16:39:12 +0000 UTCIts really cool seeing all the wildly different designs! I’m very much partial to the dictator and teddy Krueger, but I think all of them have something going for them.

2018-07-22 15:24:49 +0000 UTCyou're actually pretty spot on on the warlord. it's maybe too proactive of a character for such a lazy guy ,even if it's used ironically , i just don't see him going into the fray and start mauling enemies. So i guess that boils the vote to the dictator, wich i'm totally rooting for! X3 as for the bear, don't worry about the parasitic nature, that's been kind of scrapped as a concept, he's his own thing now. Even if we end up going for the freddy krueger version he's gonna be detatched from Sid.

2018-07-22 08:46:28 +0000 UTCwich one of the symbiotic bears? the freddy krueger or the fursuit one ? also the warlord is cute indeed but now that i think about it he's kind of too similar to a character we already used so it might be counterproductive to choose him. The king is a favorite of the team tho!

2018-07-22 08:43:57 +0000 UTCyeah i'm kind of partial to the dictator too, also it's kind of simpler to draw. The final boss seem to be more popular among the other team members tho..it's gonna be hard to decide XD

2018-07-22 08:41:04 +0000 UTCWhile i do love the warlord type, it wouldnt really fit his lazy persona. A warlord is the type to be out there in the front lines slaughtering the enemy. Which is the opposite. That design can be used ironically though. The dictator, king and gamer type fits more aesthetically. A king and a dictator would just sit back and give the order to their lackeys. But the gamer type would have to intervene if they have to. Personally my favorite of the bottom 4 is definitely the Warlord and Dictator type. for the parasite one I love Designs 2 and 4. I think 2 definitely translate better as a parasite. Parasites aren't really seen out in the open, they stay hidden. I feel like the "candle" works out well. Other demons would probably think that they "candle" is some sort of familiar and not pay it any mind. The first form can be used as a self defense mechanism when threatened IMO. I also like design #4 cause it looks like something out of a sexy Nightmare before halloween fanart. But i don't think it would translate the parasitic nature of the demon well like #1 and 2 does.

2018-07-22 06:58:09 +0000 UTCPersonally sorta like the symbiotic bear, and if he is super lazy, the king, however ignoring that fact, I like the warlord o,o

2018-07-22 06:02:26 +0000 UTCThat final boss type is cute, but so is the dictator. I'm kinda in a cross between the two XD
