| a lame but cool temporary title card :) |
"Bakinocaua" is a short 2d animation that Studio Natu; Alben and I (Tsad) are making. we've actually just started pre-production some months ago and we've had a fair number of works since then, including; character designs, creature designs and a few revisions of the story. we decided to make this blog just so we could have an intact record of the production and at the same time share our process and progress to others. This is basically a labor for passion, for dreams and for fun! :D
to kick it off. i'd like to take you first on some early concepts i had for this project. i came up with the story around two years ago and we've been improving and changing stuffs ever since; like the designs and the names and all. there's a lot of inspirations for it but one main rough basis would be the old Filipino mythical dragon -yes. the 'bakunawa'. here are some early sketches i did before.

| name is different as this was an early sketch of the creature-god i also made this for a creature design challenge |
 |
| at this point, it had another change of title; 'balyan ispiritu' this is 'Arius', the main character |
and then. here are some awesome and cute research sketches for the characters, their outfits and other creatures, made by my very good friend Alben Tan.
