ID: Two fully-coloured digital drawings of chibi characters. The first image depicts an Inuk boy who has brown skin and medium-length brown hair, with traditional tattoos on his hands and the corner of his lips. He wears a red letterman jacket, a yellow shirt, jeans, and red converse shoes. He looks off to the side and sticks his tongue out, pointing playfully at his sharp teeth. The second image depicts a Japanese boy who has pale skin and long black hair. He wears a black turtleneck, a white jacket, a golden necklace, black pants and black dress shoes. He stares at the viewer with an open-mouthed smile and cheekily points a kitchen knife towards his cheek. Both of them have white hearts in their eyes. The background of the first image is a light blue with a white box in the middle. The second image’s background is the same, but in a light purple. End ID.

Here’s a (simplified, believe it or not) relationship chart of the main Ittuatuq cast! Some of the relationships here don’t develop until a little into the story, but trust me, that would be harder to implement ^^"

ID: A coloured waist-up sketch of an Inuk boy facing the viewer. Piqati has brown skin and medium-length, wavy dark brown hair. He wears square glasses with red frames, a red letterman jacket, and a plain yellow shirt underneath. He has two circular traditional tattoos on the corner of his lips, along with tattoos around his fingers. He leans towards the viewer with a very wide smile and his arms up in front of him, his hands in a clawing gesture. The background is red, and Piqati is surrounded by a white outline and a red shadow. End ID.

ID: A coloured waist-up sketch of two boys in an embrace. Piqati is a tan, thin Inuk boy with medium-length brown hair and circular traditional tattoos beside his lips, and wears a red and white letterman jacket and red glasses. Yumeji is a pale, thin Japanese boy with shoulder-length hair wearing a white jacket. Piqati is looking down at Yumeji with a wide open smile. Yumeji smiles with his mouth and eyes both closed. They are hugging each other tightly, with Piqati’s arm around Yumeji’s neck and Yumeji’s arm around Piqati’s waist. A red heart floats between their heads. End ID.

ID: A coloured waist-up digital image of an Inuk boy facing the viewer. Piqati has brown skin and medium-length, wavy dark brown hair. He has glowing cyan traditional tattoos, including a circular tattoo on the corner of his lips, a line across his nose, along with tattoos around his hand. He wears a red letterman jacket and a plain yellow shirt underneath. Glowing cyan mist streams out of his left eye and rips in his face, flowing around him.

Every good concept has multiple drafts. That includes dream friends, too. You, Yumeji Daigo, have had many versions before your current one. Some more important to your creator than others.
