It’s a sibling Infernal Demon, and its shape changes depending on its fused state. Some tadpoles on Baal’s back eventually turn into baby frogs, while others are used as bombs and die out sacrificed as weaponry. Some species of frogs raise their young on their backs, I believe, and this is an Infernal Demon with those characteristics.īaal is also known to be one of the leading singers in the demon world, both fascinating those who listen to its ballads and causing terrible disasters through its vocal talent. We made a new style for Baal that exposes some of the parts that were hidden in the second game. We’ve added elements from the old designs, so this could be a timeless collaboration of sorts! We designed Malphas to blend well with its new components without changing any of its already established parts. I hope that you’ll get along with our little pet, as he is back to show us a new side of himself in Bayonetta 3.įor Malphas, we have created new areas that were hidden from the previous designs. He has become even more skillful with magma this time around! Phan has reached his prime in Bayonetta 3 and has finally decided to show his true colors. Phan shoots swirling magma from the inside of his body just like he has done up to now. However, after a certain point the surface will become weaker and darker in color as he ages. The surface of his body is white at birth and becomes tougher as he grows. Got it! This time, our Phan (let’s call him that because he is soooo cute) has had a bit of a makeover on when it comes to the color of his body surface. Kamiya came over to my desk one day and literally said, “I want to do something different with Phantasmaraneae in Bayonetta 3.” We wanted to give him something different, I guess. *Check out some more info on the designs of Bayonetta and Viola here! Shimazaki-san has been involved in the design of the whole Bayonetta franchise and has spearheaded the design for Bayonetta (of course), Jeanne, Enzo, Rodin, Luka, and Viola (who is making her first appearance in Bayonetta 3). Sometimes when a game is in development for so long, you forget about things you produced near the beginning! I honestly completely forgot about this set of concept art, so when Director Miyata told me it would be in the blog it all came flooding back to me. I’m also very impressed with how Santos recreated her makeup! So I want you to pay special attention to her wonderfully muscular thighs-brought to life by character modeler Daniel Santos. As for her legs…Madama Butterfly is meant to be a martial artist. Her outfit comes from me wanting her to have a goth metal look to her. Madama Butterfly made a full-body appearance in Bayonetta 2, but I ended up designing a whole new outfit for her this time round as she was going to be appearing in higher detail. Madama Butterfly is back from the previous games and has a new look thanks to the creative talent of Mari Shimazaki. Let me explain more about the Infernal Demons in the order they appeared in the video. It’s great to see a fresh side of these demons that we were not able to capture in the previous two iterations. In Bayonetta 3, we are showing everything that was once hidden behind Bayonetta’s hair! This has required us to find a new process for deciding the designs for the Infernal Demons in areas hidden behind the witch’s hair up to now. This makes the presence of Infernal Demons even more dynamic than in the previous games and making these demons that were previously embodied by the power of Bayonetta’s hair more powerful and fleshed out. For either one of these two categories, I think it goes without saying that understanding the Bayonetta world and maintaining a consensus with the game director are definite requirements and utmost crucial when designing these creations.īayonetta has now mastered a new Umbran Art called “Demon Slave,” through which she can summon Infernal Demons and control them at her will. On the other hand, we designed the new demons in the way to ensure that they fit perfectly into the Bayonetta lore. Demons that make their first appearance in Bayonetta 3.Īs for the demons that you saw in the previous two iterations, we worked meticulously on making sure to maintain their unique designs and newly adapt them into the world of Bayonetta 3.Demons that you know and love from the previous two games.Go ahead and check out the video.Īs Bayonetta 3 is the third iteration in the Bayonetta series, we have broadly positioned our demons into two categories. I would like to show you a snippet of some of the demons that we have talked about so far. It’s a real pleasure to be able to talk to you about designing our beloved Infernal Demons! I was involved with some of the character designing and modelling for the Infernal Demons featured in Bayonetta 3. Hi everyone! My name is Tsuyoshi Takahashi and it’s great to be here.
