Nude Byte Extras: November 2023 (Patreon)

For this month, I'll feature another NPC that hasn't been released yet: Paipai

In Nude Byte, there's a theme for all NPCs: Each of them are bootlegs of existing characters with a trait that's altered.

Paipai is the buff version of Paimon from Genshin Impact.

During development, this NPC has to be the most effort I gave to the entire cast of NPCs. This is because I made a lot of retakes for her.

I sketched, inked, colored, and finalized every iteration I made of her (complete with multiple expressions, just not shown above), and I ended up scrapping each.
I drew her a lot. Is it because I like her and want her to be perfect? The answer is, unfortunately: No. It's because I'm bad at drawing muscular people. I had no good vision of how I wanted her to look, but really I liked her bootleg idea, so I kept pushing to make the best design.

The only vision I set up for her is that she's like a bodyguard or a bouncer. She barely talks.

And sadly, that's the only thing I can describe her. There's nothing more to it.
I'll let her assigned writer bring out her best.

Next up:

Now that I finally showed the "Goddesses", I want to take this opportunity to show some rejected designs I made for these Goddesses.

But first, here's the concept:
"Goddesses" are like the Game Masters in Nude Byte. They make the rules for the players to play.
But "Game Masters" sounds too dorky for these fancy ladies, so they prefer the title "Goddess" instead.

They always come in pairs.

What you saw in the "Spoiler Update" a few days back were Ciella and Meira, bootlegs of Callie and Marie from Splatoon 1.

However, at one point during the development of these Goddesses, I was designing my own pair of ladies to put in the game.

Their names were Evila and Deniur.

The theme for these two is: "The Girl Who Thinks She's Broken" and "The Girl Who Thinks She's NOT Broken".

I kept developing these two characters to find the perfect design for them.
Until I realized that they're too "emo" for this game. They didn't fit well with the game's overall theme.

So after a few weeks (or months?) of convincing myself, I finally scrapped them.

I put all my effort into developing Ciella and Meira.

They were once a drawing I made on Twitter to bootleg Callie and Marie. And now they have their own 3D models and animations! (In multiple versions too, such as NSFW and large breasts)

The writer assigned to them (SansFlaire) was very hard at work for the past months writing their dialogues. (20,000 words and counting, wow!)

Ciella is a happy and jolly girl, while Meira is a bored pessimist who just wants to get drunk.

One day, when the game is finally out, you'll experience having these two and you'll learn to love (or hate. Mostly hate) them!

And that's all for this month's $5 Tier post! Thank you for reading!
