OKAY OKAY OKAY. HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER SEEN THE CONCEPT WORK CHARLES ZEMBILLAS DID FOR THE PRECURSOR LEGACY? IT CAN BE FOUND
HERE AND MAR ALMIGHTY IT IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. THERE ARE MANY LULZ TO BE HAD.
- ZEMBILLAS' FIRST ASSIGNMENT FROM NAUGHTY DOG FOR "PROJECT Y": DRAW GOBLINS.
- JAK: GOBLIN → MAGICAL GOLBLIN → PRINCE-Y HUMAN PRETTY BOY → LITTLE RACER DUDE → HUMAN/ANIMAL → NATIVE AMERICAN INFLUENCED HUMAN/ANIMAL → WOLF WITH GLAM METAL HAIR
- DAXTER: SQUIRREL/DOG → WEASEL/FERRET → "THE MONKEY PHASE" → SOMETHING WITH BIG EYEBROWS → FERRET
- DAXTER'S HUMAN FORM WAS BASED UPON A REJECTED DESIGN FOR GOL. 'CAUSE GOL WAS GONNA BE A NERD.
- ZEMBILLAS REFERRED TO JAK AS "THE KID" BEFORE HE WAS GIVEN A NAME. DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNN.
- CHARACTERS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE GAME: THE FISHERMAN'S WIFE, THE VILLAGE INVENTOR, A LITTLE SCHOOL GIRL, A MERCHANT, A SEA EXPLORER, AND THE BIRD LADY WAS A BIRD GIRL.
SORRY IF EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANDMA'S ALREADY SEEN THIS STUFF, BUT I JUST HAD THE BIGGEST LAUGH I'VE HAD IN A WEEK.
BY THE BY: DOES ANYONE HAPPEN TO HAVE SAVED SOME OF THE CONCEPT SKETCHES DONE BY ROB TITUS? THEY WERE FEATURED ON NAUGHTY DOG'S SITE IN 2001-2002. I MANAGED TO FIND SOME OF IT BACK BY USING THE WAY BACK MACHINE, BUT MOST OF IT IS GONE.
'CAUSE. UM. YEAH. EDIT: LOL, I ACCIDENTALLY A LETTER.
