New concept art was released. Lily Lovebraids looked really different back in 2023.

>>735095179Character explorations for the final design from last year.https://x.com/ScottForester17/status/2033609774621675720
Lily was black?
>>735095070>>735095093>>735095179These early designs really suck.
>>735095320Lily and Prototype having a cute interaction. The memes were real.
>>735095070>>735095093>>735095179>>735095320None of them are particularly good because they don't land in the very narrow spot between "believably a toy", "organic horror" and "only vaguely creepy".The final design in particular looks like a decent cartoon character from something aiming at girls around 8-11 years old, but it's not a believable toy because it's too animate, there's no organic horror to it, and it's not creepy at all.
>>735096415no
>>735095070>>735095093IS superior as a mascot tdm, Every. Damn. Time.
>>735097586To be fair, Lily Lovebraids was still in the process when the Hour of Joy happened. She's a new toy that never hit the shelves.
>>735098113The game doesn't say her toy version didn't reach stores. The Hour of Joy only stopped the scientists from finishing the Bigger Body version of Lily themselves.
>>735095070Scott should stick to making graphics of other people's designs. He's a good artist but these just aren't it.
>>735098265Still, there's no official commercial or advertisement of Lily Lovebraids. Just some cardboard cutouts.
>>735095320Why does Ollie put up with her?
>>735098332This his work?
>>735098585Yes, it only appears on a few cosmetics in Project Playtime.Here's some other stuff he did in his normal style.
>>735097586Ironically to fix this, they already have a perfect solution : just use Ms. Gracie. A real human in a 3D game that doesn't try to have realistic graphics is already a bit uncanny by itself, and the actress does a good job at staying on the frontier between "believable host for a TV show for toddlers" and "corporate agent experimenting on kids". You'd go for a big part of the chapter slowly building up hatred at this woman, taking some relief in the fact that she probably died during the Hour, and at some point you'd watch another video, and to your surprise she would start to adress your character directly. That's probably cheaper than animating a character too, you just need the actress to read lines for a couple days.Make up something about how after the Hour of Joy, the toys somehow put Gracie's mind in a simulation of the kind of teletubbies world she tried to make them see their situation at, and after years of it non-stopped she snapped. Imagine her showing up in every tv screens of an office trying to make (you) obey, and getting madder and madder as you refuse (with some digital artifacts on the screen that progressively make her seems more cursed).Hell, you can still have Lovebraids as a sort of physical presence, but maybe only the hairs snooping around from cracks as some kind of physical threat. Or maybe treat the hairs as some sort of serpents while the body is ragdolled (hehe) around, that'd be a good inversion of the usual "hair-themed villain" idea.Maybe it's a bit of a retread of the Doctor from chapter 4 to have another digital entity as an enemy, but people generally say that he was disappointing once you get to meet him so why not try to do it right the second time around.
>>735098332Are you forgetting about the Critters, who Scott also designed?
>>735099206Critters were designed by Avalon Delaney, Scott just did some early artwork.
Lily will return in Chapter 6. Trust me.
>>735095320this is way too cute of a character design to be wasted on mascot horror slop
>>735095320Ollie's treatment of Lily would've made more sense if she were Stella, someone who he wanted to punish while also rewarding for her help in The Hour
>>735097140>>735098570"Don't touch her", the prototype said calmly.>>735099315She definitely will.
>>735100140Lily's face in that moment before the slap was so cute!
I had a dream she gave me a rough hair job
They deserved a happier ending
>>735101472Huggy will avenge Kissy in the final battle..

For me the highlight of this chapter was Ollie
>>735101784Lily if Poppy was a good toy:
>>735101258How did it feel?
>>735101784Poppy and Lily could have been friends if they talked things out.
Ollie's trademark seems to be completely isolate a woman for a decade and let her menstrual cycles to ravage her mentally, so that by the end of the isolation she's throwing herself at him.
>>735102852He did it with Poppy, Miss Delights and Lily Lovebraids.

https://x.com/uugyaa_/status/2031267859616448979
>>735100536Yes, she looks really cute, poor Lily.
>tfw you hurt Poppy
>>735106196"If you're the Prototype, then I would hate to see the final product."
>>735105784>Ollie when his step sister won't love him after all of the terrible things he's done.
>>735107790Would /v/ still lust after Lily if she remembered she was Ms. Gracie and kept her original personality?
>>735108307She would probably ally with us to get back at the Prototype, so yes still.
>>735108307The appeal of Lily is that she is basically a totally new person being punished for the sins of her mother
We all agree that "Better Place" is a actual location and not a metaphor for the afterlife, right?
>>735108790We know that Lily knew she was Ms. Gracie some time after being transformed, so it would be interesting to see that version of her being slowly taken over by ‘Lily’

>>735095070Fuck every one of these things
>>735095320
>>735098332He made a tweet claiming it was the first initial concept and those always take a lot of work to make look good after all the gimmick/function kinks are worked out. But a bunch of people trolled the fuck out of it until he deleted the post.
https://files.catbox.moe/angubl.mp4
>>735098332>>735098698He's actually not a good artist at all. Most of these are beginner tier bullshit. No serious company would pay for this.
Was Poppy right to kill everyone or was there another way?
>>735098332>Scott should stick to his wage job. He's not a good artist and these are shit.
>>735112532She had a legitimate claim to leadership over the toys. She should've leveraged that and tried to unseat The Prototype and work to actually help everyone recover from the experiments.
>>735095070Scott did you seriously think coming here and posting this shit would get you anything more than people telling you your art sucks?Grow the fuck up faggot. and learn to fucking draw already.
>>735095093>>735095179He made a tweet earlier and a bunch of random people screeched at him for being a pedo since these are drawings of kids and twitter troons are just that level of fucking insane.
>>735112462>>735112597>>735112819The Marky Sharty is having a meltie againSoon they'll start calling him a pedophile because they got a semi chub looking at his work
>>735113016>twitter troonsBut anon, majority of posters here are, in fact, twitter troons.
>>735113271They already did that hours ago.
>>735095070I'm more convinced anons lost their shit and raged about these earlier because it actually wasn't fapbait at all.
>Poppy Playtime is not only big enough to get constant /v/ threads, but also to get a constant stream of tards inventing none issues to smear itDid we win? Is this what being a normal and accepted part of the gaming community feels like?
>>735113914Nah, we just hate underages like you
>>735097586Those first pics are always going to be a mix of ugly as fuck and badly scribbled. It's the first concepts to get an idea how a character works. Once you figure all that out, then you get to work trying to make it look good for marketing stuff. These are the napkin doodles.
>>735113914I'm more convinced you're a faggot. Now kill yourself.
>>735114069Nope.Generally professional studios actually hire real artists that can make halfway decent images on the fly. This twitter troon obviously can't. And that might be more due to the fact that Mob are a small collection of inexperienced nobodies playing big game studio bigshots and selling $50 plushies.
>>735114069And if Mob had an actual artist on staff those initial sketches would look good too.
>>735113934Since when desperate necrobumping is considered a "win"? 5 hours and ONLY ~70 posts, is this winning?
>>735114215>>735114260You're retarded, you don't know how game development works or any creative field for that matter.Here's the oldest sketch of The Prototype for reference, wow how shit and horrible it is the artist needs to kill herself for such filth. There's no way this wasn't made to get a rough idea for a character which could later be cleaned up and expanded on by the artist and other members of the team.
>>735114278I've seen worse
>>735114352Nigger it works by HIRING ACTUALLY TALENTED ARTISTS that can make their drawings not be absolute shit. What I see are middle school doodles by some faggot that likely fucked their way into a position instead of landing a real job they can feasibly do.
>>735114352I see shading, detail, use of color, and innovative design. Never saw any of that in the OP pics.
>>735114594>>735114648
>>735114668Hi Scott, your art sucks by the way.
>>735101472why didn't we just backtrack and drag kissy into the poppy gel vat
>>735114668Holy shit it's fucking Scott arguing with random anons. Please kill yourself troon.
>>735109589It's capitalized, it has to be.
>>735114352>>735114668>uhh..err...uhhh....it's...supposed to look like dogshit!>That's all a part of the professional process guys! you just don't understand how it works in the big studios!
>>735109589The Prototype built fucking Agartha for himself and Poppy and whatever other toys he considered worthy.How we plan on destroying this place is beyond me, might as well resettle it once Ollie is dead.
>>735114278>Since when desperate necrobumping is considered a "win"?Plenty of threads do that.
>>735114691>>735114752>>735114828
>>735114937That looks a LOT better than >>735095070 by miles. What was your point even supposed to be?
>>735109367Then what? The Player™ takes her home and she never leaves because she'd stick out too much in public?
I'm just going to take this chance to post more concept art
>>735114974>because she'd stick out too much in publicPlayer already looks like a yellow dogshit made of playdoh
>>735114352>>735114937The difference is that these drawings actually look pretty amazing. The pics above, especially that color one looks like someone's little kid drew something and mommy brought it to work that day.
>>735114998I do like how the design change retroactively makes Catnap a shit artist.
>>735114974Stay at home wife isn't a bad lifestyle. Or just say that she had a bad surgery or disability, since she's a humanoid.
>>735115151Still looks better than Lily Pedobraids above.
>>735115042That's completely normal, that's what everybody looks like.
>>735115120Never being able to take her on dates, vacations, or even just little outings...
>>735100058His treatment of her makes sense as it is. You find notes that explains that this was all supposed to be a punishment for Gracie, but Gracie was entirely subsumed by Lily and technically can no longer be punished for what she did. Lily herself didn't do anything wrong so he still keeps her around, but his frustration makes him treat her like shit.It would be interesting if she did come back in part 6 and you were able to explain to her that she's got fucking Stockholm Syndrome.
>>735097586my biggest issue with lily's design is that she basically has zero makeup despite being a fashion doll
>>735115042Honestly, protagonists like this are always cancerous>Always shitty/goofy looking motherfuckers>Nothing established; No gender, no specific look, no character, no nothing>No dialogue of ANY kind, which in turn robs the character of agencyAnd then I have to deal with shitty fanart or fanfics where the protagonist is described as a they/them gender-fluid abomination.
>>735115549I don't think she would care as long as you feed her love and attention. She prefer tea parties anyway.
>>735115721That's fair I suppose.
Lily Loves you
>>735115872
>>735115567I wouldn't want to do that, because all it would do is distress and confuse Lily. She can't ever learn who she was because of her condition.
>>735115721Born inside and will die inside, rarely, if ever, to see the outside world.

>Removes the only black kid in his education program>Creates an orphanage underground away from any federal oversight or supervision>Forces his employees to use clunky as fuck GrabPacks to do anything in his factory>Revives his children as toys that are physically dependent on himHow can one man be so based?
How does lily's plastic move like thatI feel like the design would be creepier if it was stuck in place like an actual toy
>>735118117
>>735120558It's probably the same material as Mommy Long Legs.
>>735121335Mommy is the only toy made of Elastic Plastic
Ban everyone here for being underaged
>>735122257Fool, you're here too now.
>>735121503That reminds me, they came up with some super-material that can stretch forever and they're just using it on knockoff betty spaghettis? The money men at Playtime must be retarded.
>>735125481everybody hates everybody at playtime co
>wonder why anons use markiplyer to argue about this game and fnaf>look up playlist>checks out so fast he didn't finish making his hotel reservation>hates poppy>thinks mommy is >just wants to break the game>wonder how this is the same man who liked fnaf>his eyes light up and his voice perks as soon as he gets to play with the hands (for five seconds before it's back to walking sim and listening to characters talk)Why didn't mob entertainment focus more on the puzzles?
>>735126086The puzzles filter brainlets.
>>735095320>No nose>Almost always sports a cheshire smile>Incredibly vulgar at timesHow did it take me THIS long to see she’s basically a Vivziepop/Hellaverse character in 3D?
>>735118117>the original MLL death sequence was removed for being too graphic>Lily's original death sequence gets removed for being too soul-crushing
>>735131516Lily’s scene was more likely cut for pacing. If you go and compare the storyboard to the one seen in-game, the in-game one is only a few seconds and lacks any dialogue.I’m guessing that her dialogue dragged on too long given the context, so it was cut out entirely.
>>735098819> turn Gracie Green into SHODAN> she takes over the computer servers from the Doctor in the same way SHODAN took over XERXES in System Shock 2; with the player's help. tells the player that the doctor can't be trusted, whom escapes the computers into one of his remaining spare bodies> curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal moment as her real-world avatar ambushes the player, and is the purple-haired bio-robot in the shape of a scorpion, dragging along a plastic doll corpse that was Lily Lovebraids> acts as a replacement hunter for Huggy who is now either dead or incapacitated; moves like Mommy Longlegs, but continues to grow in scale as the chapter progresses> Scorpio-Gracie's greatest weakness is being so crazy for the Prototype's attention, she is actively distracting him from killing the player> she experiences her own curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal moment as the prototype literally burns her to death with her own attachment to him> inadvertently revives Lily by killing the parasitic Gracie Green personality that was inhabiting the hair neurons, which was suppressing Lily's personality/identity. Lily is now bald-headed but tries to wear a wig eventually.> Giblet dies by being a hero protecting "true" Lily against prototype; he does not succeedAnd then we get a chapter 7... and then a chapter 8 that kills Mob as a business because they ran this shit into the ground and no one will buy it, lmao.
this is my wife. say something nice about her!
>>735095320>all of this character design work on a character that gets killed an hour after you meet herDo we even see most of these expressions on her in-game?
>>735136118No
>>735136118>Do we even see most of these expressions on her in-game?It's another case of 2D being better than 3D for character expression. 3D always has to be mathematically correct in order to work, otherwise it becomes impossible for it to make sense visually, which muddles the emotional response the visual is supposed to convey.only in 2D could you achieve the insanely manic, high-energy feeling of >>735135853
