Artist's commentary
Cloud the Robot Rabbit ver. 4
Cloud White the Robot Rabbit is a key character in Electric Hearts. This post showcases his version 4 design. I think the version 4 design is very close to final, but the details can use some works.
Cloud version 4 was created in a long time span between 2014 and 2016. They were both created during my low period as an artist. The drawing process was very difficult, and the result looks stiff and somewhat unfinished.
Before version 4, Cloud was an arctic fox because the species was a popular choice. But an arctic fox has very little potential as an interesting character other than being cute. During the redesign, I reused the huge floating arm design from version 1 for his namesake (Cloud). The enlarged arms needed visual counterweights, so I enlarged his ears and tail to the point I decided to turn him into a rabbit.
Version 4 looks too plain because my mental state was so bad I lost my ability to draw details back in 2014 – 2016.
