Concept Art

Hey there! Today I'm gonna show you some pieces of concept art from the game's development. Most of them are really rough drafts that don't serve as illustrations and were merely done to mature the concepts of the characters.

Let's start with the

CHARACTERS

Agni

Agni is a Young, confident boy with a fiery temper.


At one point, I considered making him younger.


His hair was also going to be a bit rounder / softer, but I scrapped that out since it didn't feel confident enough.


...And he's the character with the least arts. Still, his chapter is the biggest! XD


Bell

Bell is a beautiful, sweet and introverted girl who can be rather bitter at times.


In her original design, she wore a rather bland outfit, was sweeter and her bitter part of personality wasn't written.


These were some potential hairstyles for her.


This is her on the initial draft of the opening scene... kinda... if you can make it out...




Monche

Monche is sweet, tender, caring and insecure! ...I didn't get to finish this splash art bc LOOMING DEADLINE


The original designs for Monche varied a lot in size!


The three at the Shadow Realm! Big, huh? One inspiration for Monche was Niccolo.


Another was Katt! But it's hard to see.



Monche's and Agni's finished designs came out way later than Bell's!

These were meant to be placeholders. Everybody knows placeholders totally become definite versions when you have a deadline. MONCHE'S EYES ARE OPENED NOOOOOO


The Fairy. She was the first thing I Drew for Resonate and I considered making her the protagonist. In the end she didn't even visually make it to the game.



The Shadow People.


An early, concept location for the Shadow Realm. This doesn't exist in game.

It was meant to have the places feel like floating islands archipelagoing around eachother, as well as have interesting, diverse and weird characters in there. Maybe on 1.0? Also, it was inspired by SaGa Frontier's Facinaturu. Actually Resonate was heavily inspired by SaGa Frontier.


...That's it for now! I have a few physical drawings to scan too. I might scan them and upload this blog post! I just didn't because my pc's been running horibly slow... But the hub área map was sketched on paper, as well as bosses and the denizens of the Rifts.

I like Agni's portrait. It's a different style than I've seen you do... its lines are more clearly defined. Bell is also excellent. She looks super cute, and fluffy. Although I gotta say, where's Mogni's HD portrait? Errybody else has one. I wonder if a Resonate 2 will come out, like you teased...

Fun stuff, this is. Very fun.
So how was the fairy going to work in the story?
