Hii grim! I heard that the twst characters actually have early designs but I can't find them. Do you have any pictures of the characters early designs? thank you!
Yes, Twisted Wonderland project started in 2017. In the Magical Archives Q&A, Yana-sensei has been sharing some preliminary designs and ideas from that time, 5 of them to be specific (just saying cause I have no way of getting early designs info besides those 5, I still can’t go to the exhibition to check if they have more)
Early Designs & Concepts:
PIC 1 : Heartslabyul & Savanaclaw concepts were kind of clear from the start, but their tentative names were similar to “Wondercars” and “Wildfang” (might want to check with the fandom translators @mysteryshoptls for help here xD )
PIC 1 : Jack had a wilder look kinda, and Savanaclaw Dorm Uniform back then did include cropped tops.
PIC 2 : the Card level system was very close to what we have now (= what most card based games have) but the SSR was initially thought as a Magic Battle mode somehow.
PIC 2 : Malleus had short hair, red eyes, and his horns were in invisible mode when he was in normal School Uniform.
PIC 2 : Diasomnia Dorm colours were purple and green with their uniform vest in purple.
PIC 3 : (shared before) from Heartslabyul initial concept, Yana-sensei shared that Riddle was a rule-breaking brat, Cater was a bit more on the sophisticated side with sleek hair, Deuce had long hair and a bit of a taciturn-trump-soldier vibe (= Silver vibe), Trey and Ace are very consistent.
PIC 4 : Battle mode was a different concept altogether but the chibi SD part was already included.
PIC 4 : Jamil design was already consistent, a snake of fire would show up when he uses his spells to fight.
PIC 5 : the team composition system was very close to what we have now, but there were additional elements such as Lightning.
PIC 5 : Malleus main element was Lightning.
PIC 5 : Azul preliminary concept was actually a character from Diasomnia (with a butler-ish chained-glasses vibe).
