Black Knight Revision Teaser
Added 2020-08-21 16:06:56 +0000 UTCThe Black Knight's New art is by ADOPOLICH.
The original was by Applehead.
Unlike with the Vivian/Mara art thing. This time the original art will not be reused. But will be archived in the game files, and at the very least the art repo if it ends up taking up too much file space.
Now for the whys and hows of it.
The original piece had fallen behind in Applehead's own style and skill progress and would have needed to be gone over again regardless. The intimidation and presence of the character also wasn't quite there.
I definitely believe Applehead could have done a great revision of the character as well, but Applehead already has a LOT of character art in game, and spreading out the character roster's artist spread a bit more I think is a good thing here. As when things eventually switch to CG or other variants he won't have as big of a to-do list.
As well, The Black Knight's eventual content will fit much better with ADOPOLICH's style and general content specialty.
Additionally, the original was made with no idea what was under the armor, cause past me is a big dummy. But now I know what IS under there. But it's going to a long ass time before that's revealed, and gets art as well. But this design had that in mind for appearance and was built around it.

2020-08-23 08:04:00 +0000 UTCShe can't use it to hurt people, but I'm pretty sure she can use it to affect the environment. Maybe cause effects like having rubble to fall down and pin the player. Or maybe she know a trick that cuts off clothing without hurting the person wearing it. That could cause you to unequip everything mid-fight. Or she's munchkining the "no fighting, only sex" spell and can use that sword to pin you to a wall or the floor without hurting you, leaving you restrained. Not to mention, the handle looks like it could be used as an improvised dildo. Plenty of options for Thresh to use.

2020-08-22 10:04:43 +0000 UTCLove the new image! It's got a lot of gravitas that the original lacked. She doesn't look like a joke character anymore.

2020-08-22 02:50:43 +0000 UTCWell, in this type of game, more than likely she will be a succubus (broadly speaking here) who uses a sword that causes arousal damage when she slices at people. And more than likely, we will be facing her on several occasions, destroying pieces of her armor on each encounter? I don't know, this just feels like that kind of route will come about...

2020-08-22 02:24:07 +0000 UTCim kinda curious how would the player fight her, doesnt seem like the "normal" kind of fighting would work on her.

2020-08-21 23:33:36 +0000 UTCI'm hella curious what she uses that sword for in a world like this. Or if it's just there as badass decoration.
