Lol I kinda want to make a game at Dorian Games :]

I've been watching a lot of horror movies with concepts I like: the cursed artifact, halloween vibes, a group of teenagers who do something stupid but decide to solve it, a mystery that lasts no more than about three days...

In short, a good ScoobyDoo episode/movie (yes, I also watched the movies, and remembered why I love them so much).

As some of you know, I have an AU called HintFic. While that AU will continue to exist, I've decided to use the designs (obviously I'm still changing them) to be the romantic interests.

2.0 version (still a wip, gonna change More things)

꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦

1.0 version (The first redesign attempt)

lol ignore the ages, that's going to change slightly because they're all university students, but the heights will stay more or less the same

Boys' heights and casual outfits

Freakin Alex is the one with more stuff on 🙄

But overall I think I succeeded with the design explorations of the 4. Now it's my turn to continue with the designs of the other characters and give these guys a cleaner reference (Probably a turn around or at least a view of their backs).

Besides these outfits, I want to design a uniform and some Halloween costumes for them... Maybe pajamas too, we'll see.

Cassian: Design Exploration

Freakin finally done with his 2.5/3.0 design! I love and hate my child uwu.

I'm simply happy with how it turned out. I wanted to make him slim and slender but with more muscle than Alexander, and I think I achieved that (I think).

And yes, he has myopia! His corneas are too thin for surgery, so he wears glasses or contact lenses.

Cassian's representative animal is the snake, (and although I would have loved to give him a tattoo because of his personality and family, I know he wouldn't have one... At least not rn 👀) so I gave him an ouroboros bracelet, Yeah, I know it's barely noticeable, but that's the point: the snake has both good and evil symbolism. The most well-known are the bad ones, and that's precisely what Cassian prefers to avoid appearing to be. But even so, the negative is always present, even when bathed in gold.

His hair references

And that's it, for now I have nothing more to add.

Next to explore design is Christopher and then Gabriel's cat :]

Gabriel: Design Exploration

꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦

Finally, version 2.5/3.0 of Gabriel. I'm also quite happy with its design, honestly. He's a BIG boi.

The university logo will go on the back of his varsity jacket, but I'm not 100% sure about the colors yet. It's a chimera, but I went very far down the paths the color of an alebrije, Not that I'm complaining too much because the story will have many mexican references, especially in the spanish version. And since I don't live in the USA either... It'll be a weird mix of what I've seen in movies + things from my country ._.

I used hair references to improve his design a bit, and I changed his skin tone because I felt it wasn't vibrant enough (those who follow me know what my color palettes are like).

Overall, there wasn't much to change; I drew inspiration from a few things for him, including Velma's color palette.

Alexander: Design exploration

Version 2.5 / 3.0

I think I'm finally happy with Al's design And I had to add purple, okay? It's impossible for me to design a character without purple 😔

This man doesn't do leg day lol

Hair references

And some dyeing designs

[unacalacamas]

I'm still planning things for HintHunters, I'm still working on it, it's just that uni is also keeping me busy :']

But oh well, I guess I'm making slow but steady progress

I have some notes here on my Milanote too if you want to see updates from time to time

Except, uhum, it's in Spanish, sorry

Christofer: Character Exploration

Chris's version 2.5/3.0 and I must say it's my favorite of all, his hairstyle doesn't change much but I slightly changed his outfit and skin tone (sorry, I want my kids to have melanin).

My baby is quite the nerd

I'm still thinking about whether to add a backpack to his sprite, but if I do, he'll get several dragon pins because that's the animal that represents him and he loves them.

All that's left is to explore Dante's design (and all the extra characters ughhhhh) and change a few details of the boys, for example Cassian will now have green eyes uwu.
