I know this is an older concept you said you likely won't revisit, but for what it's worth, I really liked looking through these and reading all the bios! Your use of shapes and geometry in character design has always been really cool to see, and it shines through here, too! I can't stop thinking about the Bleeder... the idea of seeing such a little thing and knowing if you get too close, it'll attract these huge, much more dangerous monsters to you... it's so scary and awesome... it makes the Bleeder itself look terrifying, even though its design is so similar to the Pest. I also love how silly the Hoarders are, and then the Hexes and Fades are so distorted and off-putting in comparison. Everything's all just so abstract and cool
Also, idk if it's just an issue on my end, but none of the pngs in the "extended concept art" folder seem to open for me
thank you so much!! it means a lot to hear that this concept still resonates well. the concept this has turned into in my head is a little more Shape-Shepherd involved now, and i'd like to get started on it soon.
also, i'm sorry to hear about the technical difficulties here... do they show up as corrupted files or do they just not open in anything at all? on my end they seem to at least open in photo browser/internet browsers by dragging and dropping the files. feel free to DM me though if there's anything specifically weird going on.
They show up as normal pngs, but they refuse to be extracted from the zip. I should mention everything else extracts and opens just fine, it's just the extended concept art folder that's being stubborn

Overall a very cool collection of art and ideas!

i just updated the folder to convert those to jpegs to see if that helps! lemme know if there's still trouble tho :)
Yep, they open correctly now! I like the contrast between the two human characters. The Expert is cool :)
Sorry for the trouble!
