The aforementioned initial sketchbook explorations! Those first two images are collaged from my earliest just TERRIBLE art! There was actually quite a bit of writing on the sketchbook pages they come from, but I excluded it because it was too spoilery. Maybe I'll post the full thing in the future!
As I said last time, both Iva and Conny went through design changes. Iva's TERRIBLE form probably changed the most–it was much more demon-themed at the start (that arrow-shaped tail! <3). I enjoyed this early instance, but it didn't feel like the right fit (for nebulous reasons I'm not sure I could express if I tried, haha). Part of it was that I didn't really want a full wardrobe-change a la magical girl transformations, so I tried to pick out the shape language I wanted for Iva and eventually settled on the current TERRIBLE form design! Less bombastic, but I'm more satisfied with it.
