This design was just made for fun. I wanted to redesign Ralsei to make him a little more like a cartoon character. I suppose some of the inspirations for this were probably things like Hollow Knight, especially with the wide dress and small legs. I wanted him to look kind of grumpy and more like a weird spider monster than a goat. Also, he wears boots because I thought that would be fun. Maintaining a strong shape language was key for me here, so I tried to really exaggerate the sharp corners of his clothes. The weird dress tunic thing flaring out a lot was fun to draw, and I liked making his eyes connect to the brim of his hat. Overall, he's just kind of a grumpy little guy and I like him quite a bit.
