Big Spread (update)

more work going into this piece as designs between me and Kerb are being refined. The main 5 girls in their existing designs are here:
(from left to right)

Corinth - AOE alchemist - Hailing from a gigantic hydroponics Dam turned city, Corinth is an alchemical expert, utilizing the Abyssal flora to create tea brews capable of many different activated abilities derived from the city's ancient tea-driven industry.

Aeryn - Ranged DPS - A member of an elite escort team for a guild-master scientist pariah of Limpet, a faction known for drilling through the titanic maze, Aeryn wields an artifact weapon bow as a result from being the only sole survivor of a horrifically-botched drilling operation into the deep maze. She is hunted for her connections to Limpet, her weapon, and her innate ability to punch holes into the maze with little consequence, making her a tremendous asset.

Juno - Cartographer (cursed?) - A cartographer of unknown origin nor age, Juno is able to lead parties into the Abyss by use of a sixth sense letting her understand the twisting passages and its inhabitants. However,she is presumed cursed as every previous member of her raid party has died, and she is pursued by a supposed phantom of the maze. She recruits Matilda as her knight in search of the Abyss' epicenter.

Matilda - Tank, Melee DPS - A vagabond in search of a reason to exist, Matilda inherits the ownership of the Omega blade, an abyssal artifact weapon older than the maze itself, in a standoff against one of the many Leviathans in the depths. WIth her soul now intertwined with the weapon, she has no choice but to find the maze's core, or die trying.

Omega Blade (sentient sword entity) - a weapon forged though endless time, not much is known about the sword itself other than it being a key component to solving the endless maze, only by by being wielded by one strong enough to use it, or forged endlessly though now-obliterated swordsmen. Wielders of this weapon are known as Mazeknights.

Hidegarde - Paladin Healer - From the upper ranks of a religiously-oriented guild searching for divine safe-passage through the maze, Hildegarde acts as an informant but quickly becomes intertwined with Matilda's team to protect it's most vulnerable, and to keep tabs on their movements for her own interests.

Persephone (implied) - A phantom from the Abyss, she only exists in the maze itself, unable to leave its claustrophobic stone halls. Considered a myth, those who survive encounters with her are considered insane raving madmen. She stalks Juno, and is considered a pawn of the Abyss itself.



This should get filled out more and more. My big illustrative project this year.
