Random Things I noticed with the ABiBaZ:R designs.
Southern Russian Olivia theory
I initially excused the tan skin as trick of the light since Olivia is standing behind Asmodena, so she casts a shadow onto her. But if you compare the shades of darkened and lightened skin, Olivia’s are always darker slightly.
Another thing is her hair being NOT black as fanon portrays, but instead dark brown. I also thought this was trick of the light, but if you compare the shade of her clothes to the shade of her hair, it’s more noticeable.
Dark brown hair and tan skin are Southern Russian traits; Northern Russian people aren’t originally born tan, they are pale skin by nature. Though, to ber fair, ABiBaZ:R does apparently take place in Australia, so Australian Olivia having tan skin isn’t surprising in that context. But for the people who are stubbornly huffing copium — that includes me — by believing that most ABiBaZ chr. were originally from Russia but were forced into Australia because of Alex’s crazy demon powers, this is the medicine to explain Olivia’s skintone.
Dolly Isn’t Pale-Skinned
Instead of having chronically pale skin, she is now made of yarn that resembles ivory skin — or I think it’s yarn? The texture resembles crochet yarn dolls.
Asmodena Losing Her Propeller Hat
I think it’s pretty obvious why he removed it. MrDrNose wants his characters to be seen as adults, but Asmodena’s properller hat + her immature/childish personality makes her look young.
Un-changed Asmodena
I’m honestly curious why she looks the way she does if she’s supposed to be related to fire magic wielding underground miners who never visit humans… She doesn’t look fire-magic’y non-Earth’ish at all. Back when Asmodena was a demon, it was said that she came to the mortal world to train under Alex, thus implying that she knows about humans and this outfit is supposed to make her blend in.
So her funny looking pajama uniform was acceptable and even compliments the demon lore, maybe even imply some cultural intelligence. But with the miner lore it kinda… Feel out-of-place… She’s supposed to know nothing so why… Well… To be fair she does look really silly so… You could explain the outfit the same way with the demon lore thing (i.e. to blend in with humanity)… I guess it’s not that bad.
Buff Candice
I can’t believe I was predicted buff Candice. I thought that was just a model mishap, but no, it was intentional.
Dolly’s New Button Eyes
Nothing super crazy. Random small detail.
Removal of Candice’s Cat Ears
This one is also pretty understandable, it makes her design look less cluttered and more cohesive; The cat ears had no relevance to her lore. though I also understand why other people cling to the cat ears anyway — they’re iconic.
Olivia’s Boots
Why does she have those, it’s like she was prepared to run for her life. She definitely has an advantage over Asmodena’s slippers — they don’t look like slippers in ABiBaZ:R for art style reasons, but in original ABiBaZ she had slippers.
Olivia Transition from Goth to Emo
I know some people were upset she got changed to emo in the remaster, but be honest with me guys. Do you seriously want MrDrNose to call this 3D model goth? That is an emo adolescent, through and through. I think the aesthetic change was a blessing cause MrDrNose isn’t interested in making a goth ABiBaZ character — we have Ena from VoTV for that. Also I have a VERY STRONG suspicion that the new design might’ve been based on Yangure’s 3D model…
I dont know.. i just felt like doing this although i feel silly making something like this out of a game with near to zero plot but we are here to err create or something.. Read a little about cornedbread's headcanon about Asmodena being able to summon the ghosts in alex's school and i liked that.. thank you cornedbread
For Viktor, I went with two variations. One with and without his jacket.
And something similar with Angell - her original white dress, and her new pink one. Since there's no references for the latter, I added sleeves.
Then I did Laura's outfit and realized, "Oh God. Marzia and Alice both have the same design, huh" and skipped them. If I come up with any ideas, I'll make outfits more personalized to them instead.
Erie. The necklace was necessary.
Now for Alex's Basics. The s w e a t e r. I may make a ripped demon variation. Idk yet. Best paired with chino pants.
And Olivia's shirt, based on the one ref I saw of it, from memory, since it's not on the wiki. Best paired with black denim pants.
I could make Candice's dress, complete with wings, but Asmodena's Pusheen cat shirt poses a challenge. And Dolly, I feel... Similarly to how I do with Alice and Marzia. She deserves something more unique.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ME and the ENTIRE DOLLEX AND CASDENA FANCLUBS only because we just got
OFFICIAL ABiBaZ LORE!!! IN TWETNTY-TWENTY-FOUR!!!
Unfortunately, no new lore for Scrina and Ms. Immortal, it’s really funny to me how Ms. Immortal’s wiki is just desolate and bare even in the remake. Bless her soul 🙏
Just to clarify and reminder: THIS LORE ONLY APPLIES TO THE REMASTER! I don’t know why, but it probably has to do with the fact even Alex’s college got a complete redesign and overhaul. So it only makes sense that the characters get the same treatment.
GIRL, we’re COOKED. Time to rewrite my ABiBaZ interpretations like it’s a national sport ←(#1 canon-compliance suck-up).
ASMODENA WITH BAGGY CLOTHES, ASMODENA WITH BAGGY CLOTHES, ASMODENA WITH BAGGY CLOTHES, ASMODENA WITH BAGGY CLOTHES, ASMODENA WITH BAGGY CLOTHES. MY NEURONS ARE FIRING OFF IN ALL PLACES OF JOY!!!
YEEESSSSSSS YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! LISTEN TO MY PROPAGANDA GIRL!!!!!
(it's also the only way I can draw her, trying 5p draw her seriously is so hard for me)
Here’s the flags for ABiBaZ characters as well. ((Sorry I did not put Scrina in the AEwVS version I first saw her as an Alex character, but I did use her Viktor model.
