Concept Art #1

Art Director: Kobu was originally supposed to be a dragon, with a more demonic look. We changed directions during development, making him more animal like with additional demon parts. The idea for Kobu was also for his demon and mortal form to not be too different which would make them into separate characters.
Director: At the very beginning I imagined Kobu as having a third eye, and it was supposed to have something to do with his ability to render judgements over mortal souls, but eventually the idea was scrapped in favour of the Kobu we have now. My favourite part of the character development process was seeing how many ways we could make Kobu's horns look like. Unlike other demons his has a more regal look to denote his position in the Underworld.
