Character Design (BTS #5) (Patreon)

I've gone through many iterations on the visuals of the primary characters for FD. As my skills improve, I've taken a critical eye to my previous work to evaluate if it matches up with my design intent. The top image, created last August, shows the original versions of Zimmy and Etty. Looking back, the head and genital proportions were way off.

Etty will be the first andro character introduced in FD that can transform their genitals to be either a penis or a vulva during sex scenes. Unlike Jacey, Etty can be assigned pronouns by the player.

While Etty is still a ways away before being part of the cast, I still occasionally work in the background on future content. I've been trying to improve on my character design since creating Jacey. This first attempt at a redesign was closer to what I wanted, but I didn't feel this version was attractive as the original. So I waited some more.

Now I'm at version 3 of Etty and I think I've nailed the look I was going for. The last portion I'm finishing up for model will be both sets of genitals, hence the side profile.

Starting at a young age, Etty is a person who values their independence and self-sufficiency. The Viking-like hair style and their androgynous nature represent the freedom from traditional roles. And those braids appear secure enough for some rough handling.

I kept the black nail polish from the original version but changed the makeup to better match the eye color. The dark blue irises and dirty blonde hair also reinforce the Viking aesthetic. The enlarged brow is reminiscent of stereotypical depictions of cavemen and supposed to elicit in the player a feeling of an older time, a freer time.

I hope this early preview of Etty piqued your interest and afforded you some insight into my thought process for the visual design of my characters. There is only one character left to be redesigned for Week 1 love interests. Cassica, the royal futanari giantess.
