Description Midbosses for a fangame that doesn't even exist outside of my head...cause why not. I'll admit, some came out more Kirby styled then Wario...ah well.

So from left;
The mentally mighty, muscle moai, Geo.

The multi-talented, firebreathing and inflatable, Van Helio.

And the parasitic like, foot tall, beast tamer, Tami.

Artist Thought Process:

This was about a 3 hour sketch. I like to work too much on concepts and making 'em just right. Why three hours for such simple designs you ask? Well simple, I'm a perfectionist asshole that keeps changing bits and pieces of characters until I am finally happy with them.

For Example, that moai up there was going to have limbs and have Goomba like feet. But I did not like how I made the arms, so I kept changing and removing them until I found something I liked.

The dumbell on his left [our right] was going to be one of his arms, but, it looked like a dumbell rather then an arm. So I thought 'why not just make him psychic...and honestly, it clicked.

Design wise, yeah it's lazy, but also a bit charming. Game wise, it would not only be less work to model or sprite, but the fact that it's a muscle man that lifts objects and moves around with telekinesis does give way for an interesting boss fight.

Might redesign them a bit if I decide to use 'em for something else.

What the... beast tamer?! He looks like he's begging for someone to whip him. Though I guess one shouldn't base everything on appearance. He actually feels kinda sinister for real.

Love the moai dude.

And I was laughing at Van Helio, but I saw that flaming tip on his foil / saber. Precision flaming strikes from a lightning fast monocycle equals a lot of pain and death.

Gameplaywise, I think your design works, can almost see their attack pattern, except Tami. (The multi-talented Van Helio, it really shows, lol.)

Well yeah, Tami doesn't really tell much of his attacks by himself, sadly. Of course, I designed him in a way where he would be easy to apply with whatever creature he was controlling.

Simple design saves space and/or animation work and there would actually be a lot of potential for different types of boss fight with him.

Lazy? Pshaaaw. You worked on it for hours, so it's definitely not lazy. Simple designs =/= lazy

Well technically, sketching designs took and hour and half or more, slightly inking them took another hour or so. And coloring and effects took the remainder. Mostly the clean up.
