In the first beta content post, I mentioned how a lot of the assets early on were based on older redesigns I had made of the FNaF cast, and were later replaced by updated sprites that were more on-model with my newer designs of them. Just for fun, here's all of those older designs! I think these are kinda scuffed and weird-looking now but I still think they're fun to look back on.

These drawings actually had nothing to do with Frickbear's when they were first made; Instead they were part of a self-imposed art challenge where I decided that I'd draw every single FNaF animatronic across the entire series up to that point. That's why a lot of characters here aren't even in the game's roster! ...I ended up stopping halfway through Sister Location though because I gave up trying to draw all of Ennard's wires.

These wound up acting as the basis for how the animatronics would look in early versions of Frickbear's 3 just because that's how I drew the FNaF characters in general back then, although as my style evolved I figured a redesign of these redesigns was in order, hence the newer looks of the animatronics you see today. A lot of elements from these ones wound up carrying over, though! Certain characters like Endoskeleton ended up looking pretty much identical between their two iterations.

Something kinda funny about Frickbear's is that the game's art style is basically just how I normally draw - there's not really a "Frickbear's art style" as much as there is just a me art style. Because of that, a lot of FNaF fanart I've drawn just for fun could probably be easily mistaken for Frickbear's assets, seeing as the way I stylize the animatronics is basically exactly the same... So if you ever wanted to know what a Frickbear's Roxy would hypothetically look like, this aggie doodle's probably the closest you're gonna get.

Either way, thanks for reading! Next post should be the last of these, since starting August 1st I'll finally be able to put all my focus into working on the game again. I hope you all look forward to it!!
