Netflix’s “Stranger Things” has already been watched by pretty much everyone and the obsession is still going strong. We’re huge fans of the show and adore the passion that it has spurred, from fan art to silly toys to interest in the original soundtrack. As we dive deeper into the show and all that it has to offer, more and more questions keep bubbling to the surface. Until we get our hands on a second season, we’re going to have to wait to find out what’s coming next for the folks of Hawkins.
However, just because we can’t look forward doesn’t mean we can’t look back. By back, I mean let’s go to the point where there were still choices to make on how the “demogorgon” would ultimately be seen or what the “upside-down” should look like.
To give you an idea of what was passed over for the former, here are some early designs from Nuttavut Baiphowongse, a freelance concept artist over at Alliance Studio. They show the creature in various stylings, such one that was more spindly while another was more insect-like.
As for the latter, concept art has been released by Aaron Sims Creative and shows the “upside-down” in a clearer view, which only amplifies the mysteriousness of the setting.
