Hey Folks!
I know you're used to silly GIFs, but this time I've got a little secret worth sharing with you!
It's always exciting to learn about the origins of certain worlds and characters. That's why I've been going through dozens of old sketches and designs that were created in the early stages of CHUCHEL's development, but then I actually stumbled upon something even more interesting...
Just look at this picture!
This isn't Chuchel, no. But it kinda looks like him. The eyes, short limbs, that silly curl and missing teeth - all of the key features are there. I just had to ask Jaromir Plachy, the creator of Botanicula and CHUCHEL to find out where this creature comes from. Here's what he had to say:
"I found this in the deepest abyss of my computer. These are character designs for a non-existent animated series that was supposed to be set in a forest and a pub. They are suspiciously reminiscent of Chuchel... He's probably been in my head for some time and needed to make his way out. "
This picture comes from the time when Jaromir was working on his first full-length game Botanicula which came out in April 2012. That makes it more presumably more than 6 years old.
Pretty cool, huh? Makes you wonder how many characters are still hiding in Jaromir's fantastic mind. Seems like there's a lot to look forward to!
Let us know if you would be interested in more of these insights! There are quite a few stories to tell...
