Friedrichs History 2: More Sketches!!!


We're back baby. We've got sketches of Felix, Endoskelett, and Alan Fritter! Also, tons of sketches for the camera locations. Let's go!

FELIX

Felix didn't have as many sketches as the other characters, probably because I didn't start working on him until later. Here's his head on the mechanics page, where you can see that everything about him is completely different.

(Transcript: Enters office on cam flip. Offers a roulette choice of: +2% Power, -2% Power, Fire, Jumpscare. Choices get worse the longer you take. Time to choose depends on AI)

Wow, cool fun RNG mechanic. Why the heck did I not use this???

Anyway, I wouldn't draw Felix again until I was planning out the locations, where he finally resembles his true self. What a tragic figure

ENDOSKELETT

Early on, Endoskelett was a lot less vicious, moreso resembling a simplified Endoskeleton. Also, his mechanic was unrecognizably different.

(Transcript: Will mimic one of the animatronics with a slight tell. If you fall for his mimic, lose 5% power. Friedrich: Will move into the vents w/o laughing, fail if you view him on cams. Bernard: Hand in door will look different, fail if you laser him. Clara: Clara will still be on stage during fire, fire will happen regardless of pizza cooking, fail if you sprinkler his fire. Felix: One option will always be a lightning bolt, fail if you pick any option)

Unfortunately, all of these mechanics sounded insanely unfun after thinking about them for more than 2 seconds, so it was all scrapped.

Endoskelett would then appear in a few location drawings, you could see I still had no idea what he was gonna look like.

Finally, I sat down and planned out an actual design for this critter. Little did I know his stupid limbs would be the death of me.

ALAN FRITTER

Alan Fritter's design was pretty much set from his conception. Only difference is that he was a bit stockier.

Later sketches would turn him into the lanky stickman we all know and tolerate.

RAPID FIRE

These sketches don't fit nicely into any category, but I wanted to show them anyway

Early sketches of the gang. You can see I was still trying to figure out their proportions

ALRIGHT, that's all for now. Can't put the whole sketchbook in one post, or else your scroll bar will break. Hope you enjoyed this little tour of sketches past! Maybe you learned something new about the world and yourself.

A teaser video will be coming in a few days, here's an out-of-context preview:

Yummy. Alright, until next time!
