I made mood boards for Dan and Chris.
They are just made up of some stuff that reminds me of the character and also some stuff that help me to redesign them.
I imagined Dan as some kind of like goth grunge guy who is like cringe but in an endearing kind of way. Like he plays Minecraft, he put on make up expertly, he collects knives, and he acts childish. But he doesn’t give a fuck what other people think (on the outside, but sometimes he does actually care but he’ll never let anyone know).
For Chris I just wanted to make like a soft comfort character for Dan. Similarly to how Dan is my comfort character. I just imagine Chris as Dan’s comfort character. He’s soft like a bear and reminds you of stuffed animals. I picked things that have a gentle mood. Pleasant colors pastel colors and some kidcore colors that are nostalgic. I wanna try to associate him with a toy bear, since it’s very obvious that Dan really likes bears. It is funny that Chris can actually turn into a bear and Dan’s favorite animal is a bear, so I just wanted to treat him kind of like Dan’s teddy bear, cute, cuddly, and comfortable.
The two drawings are also based off the kill and live memes.
