Sorry for skipping yesterday. I was out celebrating a friend's birthday, but I've got a bigger update to make up for it.
Several early NPC concepts, both used and unused, for #MinaTheHollower.
Shortly after development began, we put together a handful of character sheets to explore different design possibilities and help establish the game's visual identity. The idea was to create a pool of concepts we could draw from later, cherry-picking or repurposing designs whenever we needed a new NPC rather than starting from scratch every time.
Mina Mina Mina! 🐭💖

Apprentice concepts for #MinaTheHollower.
Here's a little secret-- these sketches actually started out as early Thorne concepts. These five designs were handpicked as potential candidates to be repurposed as the apprentice NPC for the Hollower's Guild area.
That's right, everything you know is a lie.

Honestly I feel really bad for Rockstar Games right now. They've been working for over 10 years to release GTA 6 in a couple of weeks.
But then in December, we're going to release the next character coming to Rivals of Aether II and no one will care about GTA after that.

Cappy and unused Seafarer concepts for #MinaTheHollower.
Sketch "D" was eventually reworked into a human NPC due to concerns that there weren't enough people wandering around Ossex. The way it was explained to me was that Shovel Knight's world is primarily populated by humans, with a handful of anthropomorphic animals mixed in, whereas Mina's world is the exact opposite.
I don't have too much to say about Cappy, other than that these concepts were made around the time I was instructed to stop producing multiple sketches for each character, since roughly 8 times out of 10, the team ended up choosing my first sketch anyway. ⚰️
