Wednesday Art-ifact: Vanth Development

Dave and I sat at a coffee shop and worked on the best way to show Vanth's expressions.  We tried head stripes, different bat-like noses, a variety of hair lengths to create this character. 2021-04-21 11:58:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Tuesday Art-ifact: Vanth Development

Using a bat as reference, designing this character's legs became the next obstacle.  We tried shorter legs, skirts, and how the arms would work.  The images on the left were preliminary w...

Monday Art-ifact: Vanth Development

Vanth was one of our most recent characters to be designed.  We already had the Lilith and Mace Prelude stories, but wanted one that would include Bast.  Her name began as 'Sly'.  Se...

Sunday Art-ifact: Lilith Development

Although there are many pages of Lilith's character, we are going to be switching Vanth next.  The images above were used for promotional cards and banners showing Lilith as a zombie for Hallo...

Saturday Art-ifact: Lilith Development

Thursday Art-ifact: Lilith Development

After some color swatches, Lilith became green to represent a life/plant power.  The pictures above were meant to be included in a cast poster.  Cuddles, the Ryuu-neko, and the species of...

Wednesday Art-ifact: Lilith Development

The names of Lilith and Namah (spelled naamah originally) are from Mesopotamian lore, but in the story, Lilith is the evil demon, not Naamah.  The name Lilith had a softer sound to it, and hin...

Tuesday Art-ifact: Lilith Concept

Being the daughter of the Viscount, Lilith plays the part (to some degree) as the princess to Mace's poor orphan trope.  Several different color schemes were applied when Lilith was adapted, i...

Monday Art-ifact: Lilith Concept

Lilith is one of our oldest characters, and her roots are from Dave's Redemption and Realm stories.  As you can see from the pictures, she started as a human character and was adapted to be fe...

Sunday Art-ifact: Vi Concept

According to the graphic novel story, Vi was to be in the troika and have a tragic ending to her story.  More time was spent developing her story in Prelude, however, and because of her new pu...

Color assistance by ezioauditore97.  The large Vi is final line art to the animated commercial from 2011.  The other images are sketches that were given to backers in a previous book camp...

Wednesday Art-ifact: Vi Concept

The upper right sketch is a rough plan for what would later appear on the website.  The lower left pencils became a popular art print as well as the back of the Prelude 1 book.  My goal i...

Tuesday Art-ifact: Vi Concept

The second image was used as Vi's color swatch.  The other images were intended to be sticker designs in 2008, but we chose the one on the right to be the final.  A brief doodle of Vi in ...

Monday Art-ifact: Vi Concept

These are the earliest sketches we have of Vi.  When developing Prelude ideas, which happened after Volume 1 was finished, we needed a female character to appear for a specific Prelude arc (wh...
