Shanglanian unicorns (WIP) + life updates

G: Hello guys!
Sorry for being silent - we got sick and had to call ambulance/get recovery, so now we're taking a few days off from work to be back to normal. It is sad that it happens more often than it should be, which affects our work, but health issues is one of our main problems.

Sketchdump: Solomonary

You surely saw these guys - we mentioned them in the game itself, as well as drew the Solomonary portraits for our Fireworshiper patrons, but even they have no clue of what these creatures are.

They are a very special kind of Tsourai, all the other details will remain secret, but you can st...

Flynn, promo [WIP]

L: A progress for the Flynn promo!

I refined the sketch and picked the color scheme. It’s a necessary stage when you’re drawing big pieces (which I always skip because I’m dummy) — take care of colors and a composition on early stages and you won’t need to fix it during t...

From sketch to line; toony art for the Great Hunger lore book

G: And here is the content for the new lore-book, guys! Looking at these toony you can probably ask - how Phollie and the letter eater related to the Great Hunger? Well, I won't tell you, I don't wanna spoil the fun!
Lins drew simple sketches for me, just to catch the basic idea, but I liked t...

Lore book toony; clean colors

G: The flat colors are one of my fav parts, I enjoy picking the basic stuff before going to the final shading part. I also love how opposite these two characters look yet they keep something in common. 

Black and white, cats and dogs.

Busy days

L: We are awfully busy, working on the Act III last days! I don’t think we will be able to finish the lore-book and promo art before the end of July - TCOL has a top-priority. We apologize for that! 🙏

Anyway, we planned some WIP-content for tomorrow, so stay tuned! :9

Ingrid and Lazy, Companions Portraits [linework]

L: New companion portraits on a way! I was drawing it while Grimm was getting a new haircut xD I never did a linework that quick before.

Ingrid and Lazy, Companions Portraits [finished]

L: Finished two last portraits today~

Great Hunger [WIP]

L: I few sketches for Great Hunger! These are looks funny for now :D

Flash

L: Grimm came up with an idea and drew a first sketch, then I added a few detailes and tone. That was quick easy to pick a theme for Flynn, we discussed the topic briefly, found out that our ideas match and started to work.

Despite the disturbing theme, this illustration will be serene and ...

Companion portraits: Ingrid and Lazy [WIP]

L: Sketches of the two last portraits of possible companions in Act III

Trying to avoid comfortable 3/4 and exploring new racurses for sahash snout. Ingrid looks agitated and/or troubled a bit; Lazy is chilled and focused. Do you have any idea why are they reacting like this, being in your...

Preparing for the future beta-test

🔧 Since we all have a short break from personal business, we fully returned to work on the build. Right now, Grimm and I are testing the third act from the very beginning to end for the first time, checking how the routes work, catching critical bugs. Generally speaking, we se...

Quick poll for newcomers!

Lore-book voting results

L: The lore-book voting is over, and this time the Great Hunger and the Devourers theme won! We won't deny that we're glad with this result - this theme is super interesting to talk about, and we have a lot to tell and to show you. 

This art featuring Zur, a worthy character to be a "f...

Sahash base (freeline)

Hey, guys! We have a sahash base for you!
It's very handy if you want to show a coating of your character on your reference or to just have some fun.
You might see this one in our own refs, we've been using those for ages and finally got time and powers to make it for the public as well. ...

“That was a poor choice” [WIP]

L: Flynn won the July TCOL promo art :D

Here is the progress stages of the art on the occasion of the end of poll.

“That was a poor choice”

L: Flynn beated all his competitors and won a monthly promo-art! He is not excited, though. It’s Flynn what did you expected from him? 😂

His theme is “Being inside their dream”. How do you think, what about Flynn’s dream is?

Give me a coin [TCOL promo]

L: And promo is done! As I said, the final color scheme and hue will not be that gaudy as in the sketch.

There are a couple of hints about Junyver’s secret. How do you interpet them? :>

The WIPs are below~

Juny Promo [WIP]

L: Junyver promo progress :3

Shang-La Lore Book: Folklore and Urban Legends

► ► DOWNLOAD

L: First and not the last Shang-La lore artbook is ready! We think that just one page is too little for telling abo...

Sketchdump

A few fresh-baked sketchdumps for you!  
The first one is mostly about Louis and his kamito, Keziah, a human girl who gave Louis his maverick (a mortal look).  She was one of the very first kamito ever at the dawn of this tradition, together with the man who gave maverick to Gideon. ...

Junyver promo [WIP]

L: I changed composition and angle a little to make it look more mysterious and weird. Still thinking about a proper lighting and a color palette, it should be way calmer than it is now.

Solomonari portraits took a bit more time than we expected, but I’m sure this promo will be finished u...

All portraits are finished!

We're glad to note you that all the Fire Worshipers rewards are finished <3 So many of you, so different, wow!

It was hella fun and we glad you guys love the result of our hard work.

Sketch for the promo

L: Junyver won in the TCOL-promo poll, so it’s time to show a couple of sketches~ We had two idea...

Adriestra progress

L: I was drawing Adriestra's sprite on today stream~ 

Started with a few poses to discover her personality, so she went a way from Brilla's clone to Deltarune's Queen and then finally became ...

OwO

The stream was super fun, thank you so much guys for joining!

Streaming today!

At 3 p.m., Moscow time.

Will be testing Discord as a stream platform.

Shanglanian Heroes Finding

L: We started to work on shanglanian heroes for the first lore-page 😏 Happily, characters of folk art may look like anyone, so it give us artistic freedom. For now we started with a few ideas, we’ll keep develop them. Some of these sketches will appear on the final page.

We came out wi...

Falling

This sketch was in progress a few years in a row — we simply had no courage to finish it. And the plot was a bit… no, completely different those times. And now every symbol here is clear for us.

You maybe noticed that Roui’s necklace design was different in the 2nd Chapter, i...

Companion Portraits (FINISHED)

L: And this is an example of “sketch-to-final” content. I’m not sure if three-staged lists are really necessary, but you always can tell me if that was a good/bad idea : D

But I saved stages of drawing the portrait and collected them in PSD-file, 2022-06-08 17:01:06 +0000 UTC View Post
