Proto-Flora

Flora's original design, suggested by Orekh!

Before Twokinds, there was a black and white cat named Kaylia. She went through several designs and iterations, until eventually Twokinds began. The name became Flora, but for the first couple pages, she was still just a house cat. However, by coincidence, Halloween happened to fall a few days after the comic began, and I decided to try coloring Flora as a tiger. It was one of the first times she was ever in color, and what started as just a Halloween costume instantly became Flora's actual design. I'd later go back and retroactively change her to a tiger in the first couple pages (which were black and white anyway).

In the comic before Twokinds, the main character was actually Raine! Raine and Kaylia were good friends / rivals in the series, which is funny, because in Twokinds, Raine and Flora have practically zero interaction with each other. Strange how things end up.

Interesting to know the character history

It is interesting to read that Raine was originally planned to be the main character. I wonder what her personality was back then and if she also had the ability to shift to keidran/half-keidran form.

I'm betting Tom will shoot that down pretty hard. Things are in motion, after all.

Really?

I loved reading the story of some Two Kinds history! Very interesting really. It really is interesting how some things change over production and turn out^^

Joke comic page where Flora reveals she's actually a houscat Keidran who's been dying her fur this whole time when?

Roughlandin

Cute, but different! No one tell Flora Halloween is over. It's pretty wild that a holiday made a permanent character design!

It's amazing how you can see Flora even in those early sketches

Vicroc4

Cool to know. Thanks

Burgafrickle

...We need sketch of Raine and Flora interacting and not knowing each other's names or something. Adding it to the list. XD

Roughlandin

Ooh! A neat behind-the-scenes look and a cute kitty as a nice bonus! Thanks, Tom! Congrats, Orekh!

Roughlandin

Awww she's adorable! And it looks like she always had stripes of some sort, and that for some reason makes me smile >w<

The black and white sketches remind me of Dreamkeepers. Interesting to see what might have been!

Latency

Some characters ideas are scrapped I would know. I did that to to my series but it’s nice to see her make a return

Broccoli boy

Maybe as suggestion for another time: protogen versions of some characters? :D
