How long did Hypnothesis take for you to make? And where did you get the inspiration to make T-Vax and Wasa-B???
[[ HEYYY HI THANKS FOR THE Q BESTIEEE
Real answer, I would say after Hypnothesis' initial conception, there was another year of privately tossing it back and forth between myself and Aleph before we had what would become the current comic plotline! (There's actually a handful of these SUPER EARLY concepts on our patreon teehee >:)c ) Considering we're STILL in the act of making content/comics for this story, we're at least 5ish years strong?? On this project? (LAWD)
As for inspirations design-wise, we very much took some beats from some of the more popular fan interpretations at the time and put our own spin on it! Knowing Tvax and Wasa have likewise influenced more of the recent iterations floating around is SUPER CRAZY TO ME, but it's fun to see! I personally always have and always will take DEEP inspo from disney villains- the way they move, the poses, the expressions... well, that's it's own rant, and you're here to see more funky octopi not my artistic ramblings HAHA-]]
