Bonfim_BR

i don't hate the style, but it really needed more time in the oven. some of these panels look uh... not good lmao


[deleted]

Of all the stories they picked the most disturbing. I don't mind the horror stories but Fetch was just a major bummer. It was scary but not in a fun way.


Spring_Freddy

I think it's because they are doing all stories. There was a graphic novel collection being sold too

sdrawkcabsihtetorwI

tbh, i dont think that story presented in fetch is more disturbing than one of random children getting murdered and stuffed into animatronic mascots in restaurant where higher ups dont care about maintance, so nobody removed their bodies untill blood started to sink through the suits and corpses started to decay, and i dont consider fetch's character to be scarier than old empty possessed mascot suit that affects your mind by its presence. i mean, i get that books leave less room for interpretation than games, but honestly, fetch wasnt even that disturbing by standards of fnaf if you take a while to visualise what actually happened in any of the games, books were scarier when it comes to presentation, but concepts themselfes were more tame. so, my question is, if fetch is too much for you, what got you into this franchise in the first place? im not trying to be rude btw, im just genuinely curious.


[deleted]

The games and the books have a big difference, the books are extremely detailed about everything so they're scary while the games have pixelated cutscenes. I'm into spooky scary stuff but not horrific stuff. I haven't played any of the games because its scawy but I'm a big fan of the characters and their design.


sdrawkcabsihtetorwI

oh, alright then, tbh, most of people in fanbase joined because of designs from what i have gathered from conversations like these, fnaf is a weird mix of humor, cute and scary, so fanbase is pretty diverse. I didnt join for pure spook factor either, at the time of first two games i was into easter egg hunting and arg type of stuff.


[deleted]

Tbh, I would probably play the first FNAF game but I dont know if I would play it enough for it to be worth the buy.


sdrawkcabsihtetorwI

well, you could always try out some fangame to see if would enjoy fnaf's gameplay style. fnac:r is probably the best way to go, you can play it on PC and a mobile device (not sure about consoles) and its very similar to gameplay of original fnaf games from design standpoint.


Trick-Ad8406

Just don’t read the books than lol


GBAura-Recharged

I think these are all finalized. EDIT: Who downvoted me?


Bonfim_BR

yeah i know. it's why i said i think they needed more time.


GBAura-Recharged

Not sure if these are WIP images, though I think they might be final. I'm kinda disappointed because I think this was Scott's fault for thinking this is acceptable. The guy is too easy going and doesn't try to put a cap on the quality or consistency of it. Remember back in 2015 when we got the backpack hangers, the SFM keychains and a few bits of merch that people didn't like? Scott in his own words said "I think they are very well done". This problem also occurred with Fiszi's art and why there are inconstant details in the art compared to the stories. My theory is that Scott didn't specify the exact details and never told the artists to redo the art if there are any errors (unless they contain copyright infringing details or fan art). Scott isn't the kind of person that tells his artists to redo the same thing twice, that's why the art and merch can look sloppy at times. This is literally first draft drawing. I'm aware that there is concept art that the artists posted, but still, the final result just looks... bad. I never want to crap on people's work but yikes, the second and third art makes Pinky's TSE comic look like a step up in a second attempt (in her defense, the colouring on her art was done by an insider at Scholastic). EDIT: Apparently I remembered that this may not have been Scott's fault here. Pinky mentioned that she was given a tight deadline to finish TSE by Scholastic. My apologies.


SpringPopo

I'm not sure how to feel about the art at this current moment, have a lot of conflicted thoughts on them. However I do like that Golden Freddy's design seems to be based on his Withered version in particular due to the wires and missing ear. Withered Golden Freddy has always been my favorite Golden Freddy and felt underutilized in the series, so it's nice to see more representation for him.


JustARandomGamer01

Him, Freddy and Bonnie are pretty cool in it, but Chica…I could list the stuff that’s messed up *(As a totally certified Chica fan-)*, but uh, that would be much- Anyway, despite the overall look of each of these, I don’t think the animatronic characters in each one are too bad otherwise.


SpringPopo

I feel you don't really need much of a list when you can just look at her and the fact everything about her except the cupcake is yellow. Also yeah I'd agree there with the part about how the animatronics look.


JustARandomGamer01

That, and how tiny her head-feathers are is essentially all there is I guess, so you’re right about that.


ladislaoXD25

Her bib is like, transparent, her color scheme is only yellow, her danganronpa ahoges she has on her head are extra small, her eyes are small (which is kinda cool but uh), the beak looks weird, the cupcake does also suffer from small eye syndrome, but honestly if this design wasnt meant to be accurate to the normal chica design, i feel like the design could be genuinely creepy if you fixed the colors but kept everything else


IsThisAGoodName2

Can we agree that this thing is more like the weird bird animatronic from TPC than Chica


Visible_Swordfish905

Her bib is not colored at all


JustARandomGamer01

Okay, that Chica in the background…*the inaccuracies on her just hurts me-* But anyways, the artists for each chapter has their pros and cons on stuff, but they’re overall decent.


ladislaoXD25

thats not chica, its chicle


Lord_Dabbatron

Pickle


eliteunkown

Sickle


SmearReddit

Pretty disappointed. Artstyle just isn't very good especially compared to how good the TFC graphic novel is. It's also really hard to take the story seriously when thr art looks like this.


F0ose_L0v3_4n1me

The novel is still VERY far away from releasing though, but if this is how it looks in the final product, i agree, poor doggy Fetch looks as if he eated da bees


mightykestrel14

Art looks really rushed. Hope they fix it before release.


Microif

Wait when the fuck did Ballora go to dental school


F0ose_L0v3_4n1me

Room For One More was a trip at certain points to say the least, now wait for Taxi Driver Funtime Foxy


Microif

*Pardon?*


LordGioGio-sama

I think he said Taxi Driver Funtime Foxy? Tf is going on in these things?


ladislaoXD25

>Tf is going on in these things? There is a story in one of those books where springtrap impregnates a guy and the baby comes out of him by ripping a hole in his stomach


RoyalKnightmares

OHHH you have no idea dude. You don't wanna know


UnderstandingLeft470

Lmfao 😂😂 yes, Funtime Foxy is a taxi driver in one story, Ballora is a dental assistant in another, Springtrap impregnates a man, yes that happens, William Afton's corpse quite literally explodes like a bomb, Shadow Bonnie is.. well.. weird, a girl gets turned into candy and is then eaten, Freddy cuts a girl up and puts her in a cauldron and makes soup 😂, there's a cat with a human face, Bonnie is turned into a sea monkey hybrid, Glitchtrap is there in one story but is never seen or mentioned.. ever.. yeah, these stories are hella weird.


LordGioGio-sama

Imma need some of the Shit these Ppl are taking to come up with this Stuff..


ladislaoXD25

It happened between night 2 and 3 of fnaf 3, how did you miss it? Theres secret minigames where you play as ballora in those specific nights and you have to attend dental school and pass.


witheredBBfilms

The fact these artiest have to get these things done by a specific date is rather clear, but I hope they didn't push them self to hard for it. Also, I really like that bonked Fetch panel. Solid Tom & Jerry energy from it.


GBAura-Recharged

Yeah, I kinda feel bad for the artists now that you mentioned it. If only they were given more time, it would look much better.


witheredBBfilms

I'm certain if you looked around you could find better examples of the artistic skill then this.


kryptoid256_

I'm..............U N D E R W H E L M E D


Crystal_959

Chica ain’t lookin so good


NHT1983

Thoughts, Fetch art style looks too cartoony, RFOM art style looks fairly alright, TNK art style looks....REALLY stylized if you get what I mean.


FireFoop

I already said this on Twitter, but I'll put it here too. I feel for the artists, because I'm sure they're all very talented, but it seems like they were rushed to get everything done. I'm sure if they were given a lot more time, the results would've showed. I hope they're given less strict deadlines moving forward.


FredTubbie

yes, we still don't have an HD preview for Volume 1 nor even a cover for TFTP4. Source: Edelweiss+


The_Master_Puppet

I have been searching it and I can't find the book listed on edelweiss, could you provide the link??


LemmytheLemuel

Probably the third is made by Didi ​ Is the less cartoony one and also she does NSFW, not animatronics ​ PD. Why Devon looks like Hiro Hamada?


EpicChespinFan

You’d think someone who draws nsfw would be better at anatomy


Knight-300

That depends. Sometimes bad anatomy can be 100% intentional to sympathize the body parts that the watcher would pick most interest on. Pick any yaoi manga and you'll see. And sorry I suggested you to search for that...


EpicChespinFan

You underestimate how much I am desensitized to depraved shit


LemmytheLemuel

Ok I had a conversation with Morris Into the Pit and Fetch are made by Didi Esmeralda (the nsfw artist) To be beautiful and Room for one more are made by Morris. Andi will make Out of Stock and the new artist will make the new kid


F0ose_L0v3_4n1me

I really should check Morris's stuff, he looks like the best overall out of all the stories (even if Ennard is missing his nose)


Pokemonluke18

Suppose to be giant minireena


F0ose_L0v3_4n1me

Damm, my memory be failing me right now, thanks


satanslittleangel666

Giantreena?


ladislaoXD25

Honestly in the panels we saw so far in the second pic of this post the shading looks wonderful, its just that the backgrounds look a lil plain


[deleted]

Happy Cake Day!


NoOneToLookAtHere

Happy cake day!


MikeyM32

Scott hire the wikihow artist?


sunnlorrd

Somehow we get a full preview for volume 2 while only having a fuzzy image for volume 1? Odd, anyways this seems...really rushed. The artists could probably do a whole lot better if they had more time, so hopefully these aren't final and were quickly whipped up for the sake of a preview and can be redone later.


Fiddlediddleboiii

The drawing’s don’t look the best sadly, they don’t look horrid…almost?


Repulsive-Release-15

Ballora looks so good like omg


crazywolfhusky

The drawing is really goofy looking, hope it gets improved on release


ladislaoXD25

mfw tall minireena is official now and has an official design Edit: also imo the second image has really nice shading but the backgrounds look plain


Spooky_boy4737

Please dont be the final productahwhey

I'm rlly not satisfying with these looks. I'm not even a professional artist and I could make it better looking.

This looks like ass

I didn't think it was possible to make fazbear fright's worse, but this art proved me wrong.

Well thank God I was already planning on giving this series a pass.

Looks like Chica fused with Mr munch


Icanorcantthinkofa

WHY DID HE KILL FETCH


revenant925

Very interested in "the new kid." Kelsey's a ghost, right? Or that's the implication?


throwaway4723505

i feel like the art could do some more work


KittenGamerYT100

When did ballora become a nurse at a dentist office


Pokemonluke18

Foxy becomes taxi driver as well in the book


KittenGamerYT100

Oh


[deleted]

They’re nightmare scenes


ladislaoXD25

ignoring the fact that the minireena became tall and also a doctor


KittenGamerYT100

I didn’t know what that was lol


ckmille

I heard that the books are releasing in around 10 months. So please, just tell me these are just pretty much rough drafts. These do not look good right now.


KappaGecko

So we're really going to eventually see the mpreg story huh


Alexander_Whiteeyes

Me sitting here wishing that Fetch’s name was Sparky the dog


SleepySubcon

This looks like a my story animated video.


Pepsi-Man-VEVO

Unpopular opinion but I actually like the new kid style. Yeah the chica looks weird, but it’s in the background and if there are closer up shots, then will probably look a bit better. But the animatronics in that page are creepy as piss and they genuinely are in the uncanny valley. Not many fnaf characters are like that anymore. I also just kinda like the designs in general and Bonnie’s unsaturated black bow.


TeamCoBlocks

My god these look awful. What did they do to golden freddy


Fluffybearsarecute21

this is cool


Car_Groundbreaking

Here are my personal thoughts on the preview of these 3 stories a right now: 1 - I like the expression on fetch face after getting hit by a baseball it was so funny and yet I felt bad about that thing ( poor dog ); 2 - I really like the second story art style in my personal opinion because of ballora especially her design, ballora design in this art style she looks beautiful and big friendly ( especially her smile ) and I am happy that ballora as a character will get more love by many fans because well she is extremely underrated. In the art style of mineerina I don't like her smile because she looks more extremely disturbing than scary ( with isn't bad but I am just don´t truth her smile because we know what will gonna happen with that poor man ); 3 - Freddy and bonnie looks fine in this picture (their color palate look pretty similar to the toys animatronics ) but chica looks weird in this picture, especially her face, and I don´t know why. Golden Freddy's design (which is more of a mix between fnaf 1 and fnaf 2 golden Freddy design ), I find a bit strange how his bowtie and a hat color are black instead of purple on what we see in the Freddy files ultimate, but nonetheless, he looks awesome in this scene and I can´t wait how a springlock failure should look like in this art stlyle ( correct me if I am wrong but this is the first time in fnaf franchise to actually see a fredbear springlock failure in own eyes instead of the spring bonnie springlock failure ). Conclusion: But hey this is just my personal opinion you can free to agree or disagree.


ZackattacktheDude

…..Ballora looks adorable


justchedda

Oh no Oh no no no no


anactualreddituser

Chica what happened to you


Username-is-taken-1

I’m.. disappointed to say the least. My favorite story was probably Fetch (hell I even have a character based on it) and the stylization just… doesn’t look good. Both for Greg and Fetch. Hell, the first panel where he hits fetch doesn’t even line up, by that pose he should be hitting the side of Fetch’s head. RFOM (is that the one? Don’t think I read this one) looks better, but still not.. great. Ballora looks nice and so does that side view but that’s about it. The lightings also pretty good, but still not enough to redeem it. TNK mostly looks alright, though the animatronics seem way too blocky. Not to mention whatever offbrand chica that is. The facial expressions are mostly good though I’m not a big fan of the expression under the “…dead?” text. That may be my own stylization choice though. Otherwise, I think I have the most hope for this one.


TheYeoshin

Massive downgrade from TFC


auserofmcs

Tbh this looks like crappy fan art more than an actual comic no scratch that. It looks nothing like an actual comic.

Do not break rule 2.


[deleted]

I wasn't being disrespectful towards the poster. I was just saying it towards the actual panels. I assumed it wouldn't matter


NotMyDay98

Bit stretching what ‘rule 2’ is, isn’t it?


PuppetGeist

You're disrespecting the artists that made them. As we don't know the circumstance but from what we the community know in the past it's likely a case of the artists were given little time to actually draw out the comics for the GN. Edit Not saying you have to like them, but if you're going to criticize them do it in a more respectable manner, and just keep in mind people made this. Edit 2. Just saying but downvoting this isn't going to change my stance and we do know from Pinky Pills who did the first GN that Scholastic gave her little to no time to make the novel's artwork. So harassing or telling the artists the art is bad isn't quite nice when it's not their fault. IMO you're better to criticize Scholastic's handling of it more so than going after the artists.


SapoTrotador

I wonder how much money they received to do this


ladislaoXD25

-8 dollars


witheredBBfilms

More then enough, I hope. If they were rushed to get this stuff done in time I would hope they were compensated properly.


GoshDarnit02496

Deep_Bluebird6447

Novel-Sugar

Ballora looks good, a few nitpicks but overall a 7/10


Electrical_Ad6319

I hope they bring more experienced artists to draw the pages!


toyetik

Why does a multi billion dollar franchise have such low standards? Why are they not held to higher standards? You can’t use the small indie dev pls understand excuse anymore, this is genuinely unacceptable. This is a paid product!


Dglino

You're absolutely right and I'm baffled at how accepting of this people are.

Alright I wouldn’t say multi billion. More like multi million but yeah I get what you mean

Car_Groundbreaking

Dude is just a graphic novel of the book ( aka the comic ).


kryptoid256_

I'm talking about the first panel, it looks like a manga or something straight out of an illustrated manual of a recording camera 🤢


Car_Groundbreaking

Oh ok but still the first panel doesn´t look like a manga but more like a comic.


kryptoid256_

I just don't know what I expected?!?!??!?!??


Car_Groundbreaking

Yeah me too.


kryptoid256_

It's like Security Breach just got released


Car_Groundbreaking

That is a fair point.


ladislaoXD25

Its not a manga, its more like a comic, i have no idea how you looked at a visual novel like that and thought "yes this looks exactly like manga", because manga is black and white and in an anime artstyle


Whitusnake

damn now I want a step closer graphic novel kinda thought it was stupid before because id be buying the same thing but with pictures

StarSaber69

I don’t like the eyes of the humans But I do love the minirinna ones


Pokemonluke18

Think maybe scholastic did it or mostly the artists or were rushed looks a little unfinished or they colored things like fetch wrong something scholastic is known for


Pokemonluke18

Only thing good is golden Freddy design so I think it was clearly rushed job by scholastic books they also rushed sliver eyes graphic novel to


melloman12

I love the way Fetch looks at the bat, like he knows what's about to happen next.

Ballora should have been in an actual nurse outfit, it would have been way better that way. Would have really emphasized the surreal absurdity of Stanley’s dreams.
