(WIP) Freeland: New Unity | Character Design Revamps — Phineas

Posted by ApeRoom - 1 day ago


I’m currently working on revamping the designs for all the characters in Armada’s party. I’ll be uploading my WIPs through my news section because I only want to submit the complete illustrations to the Art Portal. This line of pieces is going to take a while before everything is done...

Sketched out Phineas's revamped design. I'm glad I finally got around to doing him because in previous iterations, It kind of felt like he stuck out too much from the rest of the cast, like his story or concept was kind of a hangnail that existed just because.


I wanted to take Phineas's background more seriously than that first iteration, so I ended up writing a ton more for him than I could fit into the established optical limit, so much of the time on this one was just spent trying to trim it all down to size. At this point, I'm not sure what I could possibly omit without losing some important context or making the passage sound completely utilitarian. There might be more ways of shortening it that I come across when I give him his render pass, but I'm not sure.
