Cardcaptor Touya

This page hosts a gallery of images featuring Prototype drawings of various items in the CCT universe, including Touya's staff, Lhaos' staff, Touya's necklace, Tiamat and much more! It also houses in-production pencil sketches of the Lhaos Card beasts done by Official Artist Makkura. These sketches are shown to Van before the cards are created so the designs can be worked out. Then the cards are created. But since we have such lovely pre-sketches, it seemed a pity not to share them (mind you, I've yet to ask Makkura to modify a single piece of her art -- we seem to have perfectly attuned mental images for the cards).

The images found here are all offical prototype and in-production images from Cardcaptor Touya. The images have been drawn by Makkura (or Van where stated). Please don't take these or reuse them without Van's or Makkura's expressed permission. Other than that, enjoy!

Proto-types:

Touya's Staff #1 This was one of the early staffs designed, based on a dream Makkura had about Cardcaptor Touya. Neither of us really though this should be how Touya's staff should look, but we were both greatly intrigued by the design.

Artist: Makkura
Touya's Staff #2 This was another version of the 'dream' staff of Touya's that Makkura did, refining the details and ideas from the first picture. She has a normal staff, a 'changed' staff and then the back of the Lhaos Card, all featured from her CCT dream. None of these made it into production.

Artist: Makkura
Touya's Staff #3 To try to help Makkura along with how I personally invisioned the staff, I drew up these concept sketches varying from 'very serious' to 'very Cardcaptor Sakura-ish'. I drew the figure for size refference. None of these staffs made the final cut, but they were all conceptual ideas.

Artist: Van
Touya's Staff #5 Another concept sketch of the staff before the final one was decided on. This staff features The Fly's wings on the end (which the finalized staff also features). The staff in these pictures is all the same, just from different angles. In the final production, however, the wings were incoorporated into the staff and when Touya uses The Fly, they simply expand.

Artist: Van
Touya's Staff #4 and Pendants After seeing my staff designs from the above drawings Makkura came back with a few staff designs of her own. Neither of these designs were chosen, although the blade of the top staff and the butt of the bottom staff were "combined" and that was the staff that ended up in production, shown on the other pages. This page also shows preliminary versions of the pendant that the staff is in before Touya 'releases' it. We both liked the 3rd from the top pendant the best, however we both felt it looks too sharp to be worn as a necklace and instead went with the top most pendant.

Artist: Makkura
Prototype of Tiamat My original drawing of Tiamat, done on notebook paper during a class lecture. I only knewI wanted her to be cute, sort of Kerochan like, with wings simlar to Kerochans but more sharp. This is what I drew. Makkura took the concept and made a totally perfect CLAMPesque creation in return. However, this version of Tiamat can still be seen on the splash page in white shadow. :)
