A new piece of concept art has surfaced for Loki Season 2 and it shows us a very different take on Ke Huy Quan‘s fan-favorite character OB. Ouroboros is a Time Variance Authority agent who works in the Repairs and Advancement department. In the series, we learn that OB was the brains and heart of the TVA, having written the guidebook that all agents are trained with.
Before Ke Huy Quan was cast in the role, Marvel was figuring out how to move forward with the character. At one point he was even a Variant of Owen Wilson’s Mobius. This new concept art features a completely different vision of the character, though!
The art comes from concept artist Aleksi Briclot, who described this character design as follows:
“Old fashion mechanic jumpsuit. Orange overall (the color of the Time Variance Authority in the show) with some hints of complementary color : blue. This guy has an Ouroboros snake pattern tattooed on his head. I tried to avoid being too obvious so I made it small like some thin crown. The « recycle » logo on the wall is also a nod to the character : the giant snake/dragon eating its own tail. And I made him blind like he’s looking at the universe and all the time variation with some kind of third eye or another sense.
Marvel was obviously looking at all different kinds of options for this loveable character, but casting Ke Huy Quan in the role was the perfect direction for them to go. Check out the concept art below:
