Very Early Art n’ Designs
🕑 Added 2021-04-15 17:06:00 +0000 UTCWell first off WOW there’s so many of you already!!! Over 100!?!?! In only a few days!?!?!?! Me and Deya are blown away by the response!! For real, y’all are the best for supporting us!!! I can not thank you enough!!! 🥺💕 Okay, enough with the sap, now back to post —>
Wow don’t Radu & Emile look so different! Emile used to not have horns and look more like a very tall Chihuahua! 😂 These are some very VERY early designs for the characters and look of BoF.
This was more before me and Deya did some sketch tests together to see what a good final look for the comic would be! You can def see a difference in our two styles with the 2 last images. But when we combine our styles and skills together I think we make ✨magic✨ on the page~
But these early concepts are definitely nostalgic and fun to look back at. ^u^
Also Emile definitely looks better with antlers. 🦌 A proper deer boi.

So, their necks. How difficult was it for you guys to figure out the balance and proportions of their heads to their bodies? I know for example, Steven from Steven Universe, his neck was something their animators had difficulty trying to make look right. And since their body proportions are so good now, do you still find some poses to be more difficult to draw and make look right?

Yup! 👍 Vlad and Radu are named after them! <3 Not everyone has actually caught on yet so good job!!

Sooo, I may have missed this somewhere. Are Vlad and Radu named after the Wallachian princes? Like, Vlad the Impaler? I knew Radu was Slavic in origin but I didn’t put it all together until just now. I mean...vampire bats...Vlad does fight in a league where he can draw blood.....Jeez I feel so silly for not catching on sooner, I was so caught up in the feels!

We actually noticed Emile’s shape got confused with other animals so I convinced Deya to ‘ok’ adding them!
Emi
Kochi wouldn’t be the same if he didn’t!
Emily
I love that you added Emile's little antlers for the official comic! Honestly, favorite style choice.
Hello! I was wondering if I was allowed to share the size chart with a friend for art purposes? If not that's TOTALLY fine, was just curious! I love these concepts so much!!
I like the different art styles here, they add a cool comparison to the final product.

I like the current design for Emile a lot more, he looks too baby here lol Kochi looks so funny lol I'm glad he retained his goofy figure
Emi

This is so interesting! I love seeing these early designs and how they've evolved. I'm so excited to support you two, keep up the good work! 💞💞

Kochi and Iacob are the complete opposite sides to the saying “Be there or be square.”
Woah! The original ideas didn't change very much. Thats so interesting. Im the kind of person who scraps original ideas and comes up with something completely different.

They’re baby, your honor.
