💌 [New Work] Meet the New Characters!🎨

New faces in 'Franz Kakfa's Metamorphosis'

2024. 1. 26.

Dear ,

Hello? It's Brayle here, once again with a pen in hand.

It’s snowing heavily here every few days!🌨️
Sometimes when the weather gets warm and it rains,

the roads get really slippery.
Even if I don’t have to go to the skating rink this year,

I can just slide down the street.⛸️
Of course, you have to be very, very careful when traveling on slippery, icy roads!

, does it snow in winter where you live? ❄️

Today, I would like to share the concept art of the characters in ‘Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis’ that MazM has been working on!
In particular, in the case of Franz Kafka characrer,

MazM slightly modified the design through feedback from MazMians and internal discussions.
Seeing is better than hearing, so let’s take a look! 🖼️

Main Character of the Story: Franz Kafka's Concept Art✍️

#literature #gloom #loneliness #precarious_mentality #kindness

Franz Kafka (Franz), the main character of MazM's next work 'The Metamorphosis of Franz Kafka' (hereinafter referred to as Metamorphosis),

is a character created based on the life and literature of the writer 'Franz Kafka'!

As Kafka mentioned in his diaries and letters that there was no one in town thinner than him, MazM has modified the design of his coat to show off his thin body.

He's really skinny... he might be the skinniest of all the MazM characters! 😮

Franz wants to live by writing novels that contain his own world,

but his family and the life around him won't let him stay...
Among them, there is one person who bothered him the most. 😔

The Main Antagonist in the Story: Hermann Kafka's Concept Art 🏬

#patriarch #stern #businessman #ambition #old-fashioned_father

Some people might be able to guess who he is just by looking at his last name!👀

'Hermann Kafka' (hereinafter Hermann) is Franz's father, and is said to be a character modeled after 'Hermann Kafka', Franz Kafka's father.

I read a long letter that Kafka tried to send to his father but ultimately failed,

and it was so sad because it showed how Kafka thought of his father...😢✉️

Hermann hopes that his eldest son Franz,

instead of being obsessed with literature,

will either inherit the business according to his wishes or have a worthy career.
What will happen next between Hermann and Franz?😨

Let’s get to know just one more person around Franz!
This time, I chose someone who was closer to being a helper

rather than a reactionary person.

Heroine of the story: Felice Bauer's Concept Art 🦋

#competent #working_woman #honest_and_easygoing #social_butterfly #ordinary_Person

Anyone who knows the actual biography of Franz Kafka knows this!

Since 'Metamorphosis' covers Kafka's 1912-1913 period,

'Felice Bauer', an important person he met during that time, appears.
'Felice Bauer' (hereafter Felice) is a character expressed with the characteristics of the real person 'Felice Bauer' revealed in Kafka's letters and diaries.✉️

The amount of letters Kafka exchanged with Felice is enormous! 😀
(Unfortunately, the letter Felice sent can only be guessed from Kafka's letter.)

Felice feels a strange attraction to Franz and they begin exchanging letters.
However, there is a gap between Franz, who tries to devote everything to literature, and Felice, who tries to be faithful to reality.
How will Kafka's relationship with writing end? 😦

For now, we only looked at the concept art of the three characters!
How did you feel about meeting Hermann and Felice for the first time?

MazM now has to decide what these characters will look like in the game.
There, we need your help, !

P.S.

2nd Mystery : "Are Raoul's sisters also pink-haired?"

Raoul has two older sisters. To Raoul, they played the same role as his mother.
If you're all wondering... Yes, it is. Raoul's older sisters also have pink hair. I think it runs in the family. 😂

Letter from MazMian!

"I have never been or lived in Prague, but I can say that the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear about it is its architecture. Palaces, Gothic temples, dungeons, it seems to me that this city is completely shrouded in secrets and incredible stories.
As for Kafka, I can say that the first thing I think about is directly about his works, about his world in them, about metaphors, about the hidden meaning, about how he portrays himself and the environment in them, about the feelings that he put into his work. His personality is unique and interesting to study, in my understanding, this is the same person who has a rich imagination and many interesting and instructive stories with which he can share, but due to personal problems in the past, he cannot share all this and transfers it to paper."

"Nunca estuve en Praga pero pensar un lugar y a Kafka solo hace que el lugar sea triste y solitario para mi, como me gustaría llevarlo a un lugar caliente 😭, siento por alguna razón que tendría la sensación de ser estricto y trabajador."

by MikelMH

"As a historian, I adore Prague! This is an interesting city with its own history. but I can’t say anything about Franz + Prague, but I really want to delve into this topic (sorry bad English)
I'm looking forward to Friday to see a letter from you!!! I’m very glad that you communicate with the audience like that!! I adore Mazm and Mazmian with all my heart!!!"
