This is just one of the many sketches and concept art I made for my project Koppy Kopsocks (at the time of these sketches, it was known as "Kumper (Socks)").

However, I lost all of my art (2019-2025) from my old tablet, so I only have some of them saved somewhere else. I think the very first concepts of Koppy are completelly lost, unfortunally.

I might share more older sketches of Koppy in the future.

"HE COULD FLY??"

Yes! Kind of.

I can't really remember if it was an actual concept I came up with or if I just drew it as a silly depiction from his floppy ears. Either way if it was actually planning in adding it I wouldn't end up making it a reality, since Rayman and Tails are a thing.

However, I could add this feature to other future character.

"Why isn't he wearing socks?"

There was a time where I was reconsidering in making him wear socks or not, I don't really remember the exact reason but I think it was just to test his shirt clothing or to see if he looked better without them.

"Who's the angry mole looking guy?"

A rival I had in mind for Koppy. I'll still consider in giving him rivals at some point.

"Sonic?"

I did quite get inspired on Sonic's design for Koppy. (You can see the Sonic on the majority of my characters even).

"If the sketches are from 2023, then how do they have the recent Koppy logo?"

I added that including my name just now since none of these sketches were watermarked (I didn't have much online presence back then, so all of my old art was kept to just myself.)

Design analisis

You can see that Koppy's current design looks quite different from this design by some clear changes. Here I was actually designing him as a teen, while now he's more innocent and young looking (basically a literal child), so that's why most of his expressions here show that "cool kid attitude".

You can also see in his shape language that he has more sharp edges, his ears are more "pentagon" shaped rather than almond shaped and round. He does look way cooler like that but I wanted him to be softer since most of my characters are already carrying that tone.

(Imagine the "original design from japan" VS "american internationalization" thing that most mascots went through, but just in reverse for this case lol)
