Yo! So it’s been a while, I’m just giving up on trying to have a consistent posting schedule on this platform my perfectionism is to great. Thats not to say I haven’t been working on something in the meantime, but first dose anyone remember/know about this guy?
This is the only pic I can currently find. But this is Quezle and he has a sister named Lotle and together they are the guardians of the tree of life in the original undertale au Dreamtale by Jokublog. I LOVED the idea that the multiverse has some kind of a system to it with actual appointed guardians who aren’t just a copy of a skeleton:) I love it! Currently idk what the situation is with the Dreamtale animation or if we’ll ever see this guy as a real character… SO!! As the artist say ‘if you want it but they don’t have it then just make it yourself’. And I did >:}…
These are some sketches for a different character I was designing at the time but I decided having an actual reference of her father would make things more easier in trying to figure out some features and such. I did have the head (as you can see in the pic on the bottom left<-) and I was really happy with the design, but something didn’t seem right…
So I drew him digitally and tweaked a few things here and there, fleshed out the design of the antlers a bit more, and even sketched a ‘human’ version of him in the top right -> corner. I was really happy at this especially sense figuring out the antlers took FOREVER!! But something still didn’t look right…
I decided to take a break for a time and design him in a deferent way, at the time I had finally bought some brushes that I’ve been wanting for a while and wanted to see if I could do something cool with them. I had recently watched Fantasia 2000 with my family and the fire bird was the main inspiration here. The sketches on the top right -> are his first sketches and will be the main design for his older, grandpa, self. After I remember a technique that a fakemon artist uses sometimes when he designs his creatures and thats starting out with the silhouette and then adding details, like sculpting!
At this point I had also figured out some themes I also wanted to incorporate into his design, I wanted to keep the quetzalcoatl inspiration as the overall image but I wanted to add stuff at is related to life like the sun, fire, lion, and everything related to those…
I pushed his portions further and that was it! Now to figure everything else out 😀… (the antlers took forever!!)
And after figuring out some colors he’s finally finished!! I plan on making an animatic/animation about this guy and his two brothers and there I’ll explain a bit more about the lore and what I planned on doing with them. So this is my version of the guardian of life I present to you THE KING OF LIFE!!!
Now this series actually has 11 parts all together but I'm gunna make an executive decision and say that the other 10 parts are a prequel. If you want to see it check out my TikTok (M&M Tales/m_mtales)
