How’s it goin’, gamers?! It’s Sera, back at it again with some fresh new concept art content<\/strong>! \ud83c\udf89\ud83c\udf89\ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, I’m going to be writing about some of the starter Phantoms and what inspired their designs! You can read more about what<\/em> exactly these starter Phantoms are in Claire’s previous post and maybe a bit more about individuals in the future, but here I’m going to be discussing specifically their appearances: what we were going for, and how we got there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phantom Design?\ud83e\udd14<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For starters specifically, we pushed very hard for Phantoms to be cute, likeable, and immediately recognizable. So! <\/strong>Things that tend to make creatures likeable and baby<\/em> are using a lot of rounded shapes, biggish eyes, and by making them small! To make things immediately recognizable, we strove for unique silhouettes (dang, I almost spelled it right the first time), and differing colors from one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For future, non-starter Phantoms, we’ll also have more non-baby creatures, and I’ll get to flex a little more on some creepy\/cool stuff \ud83d\udcaa\ud83d\ude08. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Phantom we revealed (and the first one with a finalized design)! Remember this promo image I did?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There they are! The design is simple, but we felt it would make a likeable and cute starter for people to bond with. Their design pretty much hasn’t changed from the original giant<\/em> sheet of phantom concepts that I sketched up (maybe to be revealed in the future, it has a lot of possible spoilers). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
