Art-Eater explores the roots to Indivisible

One of the unique aspects with Lab Zero's new project Indivisible --aside from having a demo on PSN to call on supporters before the project was even funded and ending up a 1.5 million dollar crowdfunding success-- is its unique character designs heavily influenced from Ethnic backgrounds.

Seasoned artist Richmond Chaisiri, the man behind Art-Eater, has written an extensive article that digs into the various inspirations of Indivisible's colorful characters unveiled up to the current time.

Here's a short excerpt from his article:

Roti

Ajna is accompanied on her quest by a pet named Roti, who looks a bit like the Baku, a spirit from Japanese folklore that has origins in China.



Baku are often called “dream eaters�Ebecause they devour nightmares. They are traditionally depicted as looking very much like tapirs.

The word roti refers to a kind of flatbread originating in India. In South East Asia roti are a popular street food.
