In this first Character Highlight, we'll take a closer look at Fredbear! I'll go over his design, some lore details and show W.I.P images of him.

For this character, I took inspiration from old-school gangsters, giving it a black suit and purple tie along with a bowler hat. His height is much shorter and he's wider than ever, this was made in order for him to contrast with his partner, Spring Bonnie/Bellabun.

You might have noticed the white parts on his suit, these are white casings, inspired by the Battington VHS Tapes, it's what hides beneath the felt! Fredbear is an "unfinished" animatronic, he isn't broken, he's just missing certain elements and a bit of polishing: The fabric on his arm jaw is missing, some wires need to be tucked back into the suit, his eyes are missing and the sockets are asymmetrical... Overall, he's in a very messy state.

His lack of eyes also matters gameplay wise. He stumbles around the place until he eventually reaches the office, almost as if by accident. He's a wild card, as you can never estimate when he's actually going to enter the office.

Since this is a Remake of The Other Fredbear's, Fredbear's design is largely inspired by his original look. I originally intended for him to resemble his original counter part even more BUT I lost the model shown in the First W.I.P, only the head remained. This pushed me to continue iterating on his design until I finally settled on the look you see in the Second W.I.P, eventually culminating in the final design.

That's all for Fredbear! Next time, I'll analyze Spring Bonnie/Bellabun! Make sure to follow the game page so yo don't miss it!
