Hey Owen! I know the 12 facts video said that there’s going to be change in Tulip’s character design. Will it be significantly drastic (different hair, different outfit, etc.) from the pilot or is it just a style change?

She’s basically the same. We changed her face shape slightly, her eyes, and her glasses shape. When we tried to board the first episode, we found that expressions were proving a little difficult with the shapes we had. It was a circle eye, followed by a circle glasses frame, also an eyebrow that was similar shape, then the line for her hair. This means that if you move up from the pupil of the eye, it becomes 3 different arc shape lines followed by a line to indicate the hair that cuts through two of the arcs. It also looked a little odd when the far eye would touch the side of her face, so I wanted to do something about that.

I thought that if we changed the shape of the glasses and adjusted how the eyes work, then we wouldn’t end up with a bunch of different lines crammed just above her eyes. So she’s still basically the same, we just adjusted a few things here and there on her face to make it more accommodating to different board artists, expressions, and the simplification process that every drawing goes through from board stage down all the way through animation.
