... Read moreHey everyone! I'm so excited to finally share more about my #BFAP (Battle for All Power) project! You might have seen some of my initial character designs, and I've been getting a lot of questions about what exactly is 'going on in the images' – so I wanted to dive a bit deeper into the world I'm building. For those unfamiliar, BFAP is a passion project of mine, a new entry into the Object Show Community (#OSC), where everyday objects come to life and compete for ultimate power. Think unique personalities, intense challenges, and a whole lot of fun!
Building these characters has been such a creative journey. It all started with the idea of a 'remake' – taking some of my older concepts and really bringing them to life with fresh designs and backstory. I love seeing how each character evolves from a simple sketch to a fully imagined participant in the Battle for All Power.
Let's talk about some of the characters you've seen! For instance, there's Headphoney, that cool black headphone character. I envisioned them as someone perhaps a bit aloof or focused, always plugged into their own world, but with a sharp mind for strategy. Then we have Baggy, the blue paper bag character. Their angry facial features suggest a feisty, perhaps easily agitated personality – someone who might surprise you with their hidden strengths! And who could forget Glassy, the light blue rectangular glass-like character? With those diagonal stripes and a smiling face, Glassy definitely brings a touch of elegance and perhaps a bit of fragile charm to the competition.
I've also been developing characters like Chesty, the brown rectangular chest character, who I imagine as a sturdy, reliable contender, maybe hoarding secrets or treasures. And Knifey, the gray knife character with a sad face – what's their story? Perhaps they're misunderstood, or carry a heavy burden despite their sharp appearance. Then there’s Bryce, the green book character (thanks for the name idea, by the way!), who I see as the intellectual of the group, always reading up on strategies. And finally, TPot, the gray teapot character, who could be the calming presence, or perhaps one who steams up under pressure!
Each design, from the light brown paper bag character to the smallest detail on Knifey's handle, is carefully considered to reflect their potential role and personality in the Battle for All Power. It’s not just about drawing objects, but giving them a soul. I'm still in the process of making a few more characters, refining their looks, and thinking about how they'll interact in the BFAP universe. The goal is to create a diverse and memorable cast that you'll love to follow on their journey. I'm pouring a lot of love into these creations, and I can't wait for you all to see the full roster when it's complete! Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting remake!
