Originally I was going to post a detailed version of this Nanofather page in my sketchbook from 3 years ago. But then I thought why not redraw that design entirely?

Some design notes!

-After the bit of lore we got from the Ephemera arc, I was inspired by Merlon and other fortune tellers from the Paper Mario series! I liked the idea of their glowing eyes peaking through the hood of the cloak, and I could see the Nanofather having that design element too

-Since he's a crucial element to the story and the park, I thought it'd be a fun detail for the Nanofather's hooded shawl scarf to be held by a Steeplechase pin. Also because of foreshadowing iykyk

It's been a long time coming, but here are my reworked designs of these three! After years of hearing about Balance through word of mouth and seeing a few animatics in 2015, I finally listened to it in 2021. I've been a TAZ fan ever since :)

Thought I'd show their original designs from May 2021 too, along with a page of outfit ideas for Taako (slightly reworked) from June of that year. I love the party members equally but can you tell whom out of all three I think about the most? 😅 

A quick little eerie concept piece I had in my head

In my mind, I feel like the heroes of Angrave would have a group photo after the finale and before the epilogue

Some notes!

Fashion follows Mutt as the King of England but I figured he would at least dress in his regalia for this. Also hell yeah Dracula fang earrings!

Based off a group pic of the Taz Vs Romeo Vs Juliet show I saw on Instagram, I feel like Phileaux would still wear a friar robe. But since he's the Turbo Cardinal (interim) now, I gave him a zucchetto hat. As if to say he used to be a friar, but look where he is now! Also sometimes I forget that he's a blood rage puppet too, so I made some crystalized parts of his body smooth like gemstones

In episode 2, Griffin described the fashion of Lumineaux as somewhat Bohemian and hand made when the party arrives there. So I gave Lady Godwin an outfit that fitted that upcycled aesthetic while also having that aristocratic touch. I also added some lightning themed details in reference to her reanimation.

I'm surprised I've gone this far without making a full post dedicated to the BBEG of this entire podcast
