"You said no claws!!" FIRST DRAFT
🕑 Added 2019-05-05 02:39:03 +0000 UTCHello, Patrons! This is my first Patreon-exclusive post!! Since the "Oodles of Doodles" tier is included in every pledge of $3 or more, most all of you oughta be seeing this! I wanted to show you guys how my latest piece came to be! It all started... ten months ago!?
This SAI file is dated July 2nd, 2018. I was actually in the process of trying to figure out what to do with Chaz, since I still couldn't figure out what to do with his design. I first hashed out a rough idea of his then-current design, which had drawn a lot of comparisons to a certain digital monster...
Standing straight up, this big lug was coming up to or past people's shoulders. He was just TOO BIG to work with, and I literally couldn't find a way to fit him into anything. So I took the old turnabout approach and decided, instead of trying to force him into a small space, why don't I just condense the guy into a smaller package?
That's when this happened:
Look at this shitty little gremlin!! Something about this instantly clicked with me, and I began to realize all the possibilities. He could be hiding anywhere! Under your bed, hiding behind the couch, or just behind the door... He's perfect!! This is exactly what I needed to do with this character!
I was so eager to see him in action, I broke poor Kanasta's spine in that sketch. Whoops. In fact that pose ended up being what kept me from committing to the idea of this picture at first. But I wanted to revisit the concept for the Patreon launch, and, as you can see, we found a way to make it happen.
Thanks for reading, and thanks especially for your support!

Did a slight hiss in pain at the initial sketch, but you know what they say, practice makes better! Happy to see how far our favorite diminutive shitheel has come, and canβt wait to see what he, and our favorite Kanasta get up to next! Maintain awesome~βπΎ
