*INITIATE!*
Here it is my friendbots! NEW pre-production concept design sketches! (Click the images to enlarge them)
Some of this will appear in the comic, some in the webseries, but all of it will be FEARBOT.
As you can see already, there have been some changes to the original J03 design. For our legion of long-time die hard fans - J03's eye is now circular as compared to the original elliptical he had before.
CAH-RAZY! RIGHT??
The reason being that since J03 is a mute character (communicating with body language and bleeps and bloops R2-style,) JJ felt a circular eye was more neutral. The elliptical shape has villainous pre-dispositions (nothing is more distrustful than squinty eyes...)
There are also secret story motivations behind the choice of a circular eye...
The bottom left robot is the the most likely winner amongst these designs. We're still trying to figure out a mouth. Gotta say though, kinda like the one with the Ming-esque collar - I guess J03 has a merciless devotion to fashion! HAHAHAHA!
...sorry.
More J03 with a bonus sketch of Emily! Haven't locked her design yet.
Some awesome Fearbot and Emily, and a little tongue critter.
(I think that little guy should be the main character of the show.)
In the top left corner is a concept design for a new character tentatively named Kit Quina. He is Emily's brother although Emily is unaware of his existence since he's only her brother in certain dimensions. He's part of a shady organization that polices the Temporal/Multi-Dimensional Continuum. He occasionally enlists J03's help in matters of GALACTIC IMPORTANCE!
Some delightful creatures one might find at the Space Zoo.
You are now entering the monsters section of this blog post. Keep your hands and arms inside the internet at all times.
J03 riding a monster like a bucking bronco.
Some of these monsters we plan to actually build for the webseries.
In the bottom left corner we see Emily with a concept sketch of another new character. Emily's little step-sister Trinha Kingsley. A kid from Em's Mom's second marriage. Emily is forced to babysit sometimes and neither sister is particularly thrilled.
Hideous monsters are often misunderstood.
You would be hard to understand too if your mouth was filled with
hundreds of flesh-ripping razor sharp teeth.
One of these creatures may be terrorizing the city in the first arc.
upper right corner: The ALL-PURPOSE TENTACLE!
My current favorite Emily invention.
The part of the city in which Emily's workshop resides is highly elevated. Having run out of space on Earth's ground, it's inhabitants built upwards. Kinda like Corbin Dallas' pad. Her workshop dangles beneath the arm of a megaskyscraper, in the arm pit, if you will.
How could we possibly afford to build such a grandiose metropolitan location nestled amongst the clouds? The answer is simple.
Hope you enjoyed what we've got so far. We have MUCH MORE to come!

*Garage update!* We dove into the garage for what might have been the last time. We sorted. We piled. We lifted. We carried. JUST AS MEN DO! But then we saw a spider, pooped ourselves and ran out to the store to buy an insecticide fogger. JUST AS MEN DO! Almost done though. Soon we will have a set!
Until next time friendbots!
