i remember while i was working on this i was complaining on call about how annoying drawing all the cell patterns was. i really could've come up with something else. it doesn't even look that good here
this is CLASSICS of images even if im not the biggest fan of it anymore. first encouragement toward putting the affinity circle in any fucking image i want
much early design weirdness. i think i was insistent on peixin having green to link them to mazin but that felt like shoddy motif LOL i gave up on it quick
goddamn back then i did not know how make good choices (https://open.spotify.com/track/1rUldxJRizv4xbRlsbLbT9) would just inspire like 50% of these guys arc. chimes have become a motif between them!
literally just sat down one morning drew this out in a frustrated daze and eir design basically hasnt changed since. i just evened out eir shapes and learned to draw em better
first pass of olzhas ill call close to eir current design. literally most pedantic design ive ever made i think i drank a soda finished this drawing and immediately passed the fuck out because it was very late at night
GOING THROUGH FILES FOR AN ART SUMMARY THING i thought i didnt save any concepts of early peixin but it turns out i did!!!! crazy shit
early february times iirc....
FIRST OLZHAS PIC BABY START OF CCS CASSIOPEIA ERA WOOOOOO. anyway this was back when e was supposed to be like 23 and significantly sillier. the idea behind eir glasses was some kind of digital screen display i think....
i think i based her design off some pic of sheena ringo.... anyway beatrix was another really early character i didnt do anything with until like these past few '22 december weeks.
time to go woahhhhh no carving my name in your cherry treeeee so go onnn get your good time in. yeah i just liked this lyric i think its interesting in the context of ccs' themes about idealism and stuff though. maybe ill do a piece where i use it smartly
all this deliberation is funny to read now, some stuff hit some stuff didnt.... also reminds me i should discuss sunny venus one of these days. i think the carrd is still up sunnyvenus.carrd.co pardon 2020 cube storytelling but yeah
first concept of faris. very strongly inspired by k' and iori from kof and his jacket patterns were based off futurist vests! hes maintained a lot i just rounded out the green pattern for contrast and gave him more befitting proportions for a wrestler LOL
this pic came much earlier than the somsak ref actually im not sure why i ordered it like that. anyway this was when i got into trackpad art again and though this pic feels very juvenile now it marks big changes :+)
first ref for somsak. still think its funny how he was one of the first characters i ever made for ccs but i didnt really give a shit about him until now.
first major pic of dalisay. sie retained a lot & also not much! deleted it accidentally ages ago and am too lazy to reupload it but this was the first draft of hir design media.discordapp.net/attachments/933068120380284938/1053633446062338079/dalisay.png
first concepts for valerie! this was back when i hadnt decided on the tone of ccs and i thought itd be more urban fantasy.... hence the stress on her hat and a poncho to deflect sunlight. thats not a problem for her anymore
this was the mfing picture that started it all baby!!!!! i drew it at 2am just going 'hey itd be cool if this meant anything right' and it supplemented like half the iconography and tone for ccs LOL
