Famish - Early Designs (Patreon)

Way back in 2010 a group of artist friends of mine started a bit of an art jam / aspired towards a bbw-centric fighting game. After a bit of steam had already been gained I dusted off some cobwebs and decided to design a girl who embodied some of the sexy horror inspired design elements of my favorite fighting game, Darkstalkers. Her general concept was the idea of a "magical girl" whose source of magical powers was more eldritch and less glitter, combined with a farmgirl aesthetic.

And thus was my defacto and much beloved (by me) mascot character, Famish, born into the world. These first three drawing represent the earliest attempts at a design for Famish, missing a few more trademark elements and the second representing the earliest conception including a now discarded staff. As evidenced here, the demonic mouths "Hunger" were always present, meant to provide a teleport/summoning gimmick in gameplay/narrative, as well as the demon-mosquito "Famine".

The exact timestamp of the main Famish design was April 20th, according to DeviantArt, which has since been the day I will usually manage an anniversary drawing for her since around her 8th or so anniversary.
