The final design was cel-shaded because Zero-G preferred it. According to AkiGlancy, SteelEmissary added more detail to the hunter design than the final chosen art. However, Zero-G liked the designs and they were kept as alternate fantasy illustrations, complementary to AVANNA. This included DEX as a hunter instead of a kemonomimi, in case Zero-G wished to scrap the 'Fox and Hound' theme. Older concepts were revealed during a November 2015 livestream. This version of DEX appears on the boxart. The ears were replaced by black headsets with a yellow wolf on it. The alternative design featured DEX without his wolf ears and tail. This was done to appeal to non Japanese-styled art fans. Īfter negative reactions from distributors, DEX was also given an alternative design without the animal traits, but still retained the theme of The Fox and The Hound. The choice was made to give a twist of the popular Nekomimi design seen in SeeU and Nekomura Iroha.ĪkiGlancy remarked that they knew many would not like the designs and focused on the vocals instead. His original name was "Raleigh", but "Dex" was preferred due to sounding more masculine.ĭEX made his debut as a kemonomimi modelled after a wolf. The design was chosen after the team adored the primary sketches by SteelEmissary. The theme of "fox and hound" was one of many suggestions put forward, but it was the one that stayed due to a fondness among the group despite being taken lightly. When asked about the aims of both DEX and DAINA, it was stated that the pair were targeted towards fans and designed to give producers the voices they needed. Lupin said that DEX and DAINA were a pair, but were not twins.
DEX was based on the Hound character of the story and has more "wolf"-like traits. They were intended to be counterparts that complement each other. DEX and DAINA were given the theme, ' The Fox and the Hound', at the suggestion of Lupin.
