Other than Jake were there any other characters that were scrapped from colorquest? I don’t know if you’ve said already

Yeah, there was someone named Skylar and they were like. Pre-Jake, not really the same role, but when I got rid of them I almost immediately added Jake afterwards. They were like, a bit anxious like Jake was, and some of them is what inspired Taylor's addition. I remember I wanted, quite specifically, an ambiguously gendered character with a unisex name, and Skylar was the first attempt at it I guess.

They're so old I have no old art saved of them, I know I doodled them a while back when the discord server was still up, but I myself do not have that image saved. They were a pixie, a light brow moth person with squiggly eyes and I think a long sleeved striped sweater. Had little antennae and wings.

There's been a few prototype mimes as well in the past, but they're so old and forgotten I don't have much on them. There was gonna be a crab mime at one point.

#i just hated the monochrome tan/light brown theme they had going on #also clearly with their removal and jakes removal #i really didnt want to have a stereotypical scaredycat character bc thats what they both kinda were #i like my silliness and my cartoons but my pet peeve is unbearably scared characters that don't reflect fear or anxiety properly #but also i think i felt obligated to include that stereotype in my work?#introspection tonight #anyway bye jake bye skylar. hello elliot and taylor #taylor sorta drifted from his original ambiguousness #i didn't think his shorts and heels worked together it #so now he definitely dresses more like a dude bro #but he's meant to still have that ambiguous air abt him i hope it still comes across #brambleramble
