YEEEEAAAAAAAAAH BABY the Venetian collector is done!! 🥳 Although I love all the characters, the collector had a lot of potential for design bass boosting and well, y’all already know how I feel about that by now 🌝 

his character had the faintest whiff of Venetian joker energy so I decided to lean into that and it ended up working super well. I love how this turned out and am really happy that the costume came together, so for your consideration 🤲 evil he/they space clown who would definitely have a Roblox account 🤲🤲

Here are some old beat boards @banannerbread​ and I did when we were making this fan-baby!

The first few explored Varian meeting Yong and making his first friend, completing the first trial of the seven kingdoms. In the nighttime one- Anna had a cool idea that Princess Nuru’s dress was an active star chart and that she could act as the group navigator, using it to guide them. The last few were just some group interactions and Varian coming face to face with his mother.

The super short story is: we imagined each of the seven kingdoms would teach one of the seven alchemical stages of transformation and reveal a totem. With all seven totems acquired, Varian would be able to use them to reunite with his long-lost mother (we’d called her Ulla) who was trapped somewhere unreachable by her former partner, Donella, long ago. Donella was after the totems as well to prevent Ulla’s release and sent Hugo to collect them as a double-agent within the group. Hugo would later betray Donella in service of helping Varian reach Ulla. We viewed Hugo and Varian’s relationship evolving from a sort of Pinocchio/ Lampwick situation (literally what that drawing is from) to that of an equal one. In a way, their bond repaired the partnership that frayed between Ulla and Donella. 

can't sleep💭

"You can't wake up, this is not a dream

You're part of a machine, you are not a human being

With your face all made up, living on a screen

Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline…"
