Oddam nerkę za to (a tak naprawdę to trzeba iść do roboty na sezon...)

My friend asked me to draw her internet character. She gave me a reference with no explanation. 

This is what I drew.

POPGOES - Strings. 

Strings is a mechanical experiment made by Fritz as a test for artificial intelligence and curiosity. He was originally a static ornament with a purpose of fighting nightmares of The Puppet; almost like a scarecrow.  - POPGOES: Character game files.

I’ve lost most of the process photos for Strings, but Kane told me to come up with “protagonist” design for a character called Strings. I remember being very uninspired at the time and I had trouble coming up with anything at all. This was what I came up with, and eventually became something close to the final design of what Strings is now:

Animatronic concepts for Popgoes: Encore. I designed them. The aesthetic for the (supposed) second instalment was crudely-made reinterpretations (or mis-interpretations in that matter) of the animatronics, powered by an industrial tubing system. The main focal point was to enhance the uncannyness and the homemadeness of the animatronics and to make them fit into the industrial tone of the game. 

All of the animatronics were stitched in using staples and sometimes bad sewing...you know, like badly-made B movie monsters. 

(On a side note, people thought Bonnie X was uncomfortable to look at but I don’t find him that scary at all.)

Saraffron X and Chica X’s head concept was done in Adobe Photoshop. The rest was done in SAI paint.

POPGOES: The Plastic Grave - alt finishes aka what it could have been

There was a period of time when Kane wanted a comic just to focus on the lore of Popgoes, and even though he had another artist in mind for the job, he chose me instead. Eventually, it was cancelled due to production issues, but I still keep the work that I did for it.

Title Page: During a conversation on Skype, Kane roughed out the composition for the title page, which was as below in all of its full glory:

I’ve lost most of the processes for the picture I’ve done but I remember midway throughout the initial attempt, I scrapped it due to that I didn’t like the look of it overall, as well as the overtly juvenile expression of Toy Bonnie and the rest of the animatronics. But this is the unedited product for the final title page I did for the comic. 

Title Page without the franchise logo:

I also had another iteration for the logo owing to the fact due to a conversation Kane mentioned that the Os in POPGOES represented the eyes of the lead animatronic in the game, aka Popgoes The Weasel: 

However, during the process of making the title page, Kane originally wanted a different aesthetic to the title page, which during the time he described as “rough” aesthetic, hence prompted this alternative iteration of the title page, which I personally like due to neon/fluorescent lining and the brief shading, making the animatronics more present. The scribbly logo also added to the “rough” aesthetic.   

For fun, I also animated it. 

The childlike yet creepy vibes of this iteration entice the eyes in my personal opinion. 

Pages: Initially, I thought Kane needed me to turn in whole pages, so I roughly drew in a page on SAI paint. (aka freedom of expression!)

Since Popgoes: The Plastic Grave focuses quite a lot on Fritz’ experience with the FNaF2 animatronics and the FNaF2 canon, this page starts off with a nightmare from Fritz, who awakens in the FNaF2 office. 

...until I received notice that Kane was doing the panelling and I was doing the art. He didn’t really tell me what size to work in so by default most of my pieces were decided by me. 

I’ve kept the drafts of the official first page, which is Toy Bonnie biting Fritz in the forehead. I have two different iterations of it, as below:

Kane went with the second one, and here is the finished page if I remember correctly: 

I didn’t like this page due to that the tilted background wasn’t obvious. Also, Fritz’ skin was too dark. 

Moving onto the third panel, there is a darker version of it. Here is the comparison: 

The darker version was the one that was chosen if I remember correctly, due to the fact that it had more focus on the pink slip (forgive me I had no I idea at the time that a pink slip was used just for firing people).

As for panels 4 and 5, everything was final on the initial sketch. The finished product is in this post, linked down below! >FINISHED PRODUCT<
