Hey everybody! Since we’re still deep in Kickstarterland (just a stone’s throw away from the Otherworld), this is going to be a quick one today. Still, we’re hoping it’ll be really enjoyable!
You see, we worked with Barnswallow, one of our more recent additions to our collaborations, to have her tackle a character who is a little bit new to the series.
Iliana is a delver, what we call the dark elves of the Tellest universe. Catchy name, right? Almost makes up for the simple portmanteau. This particular delver also has some history with a somewhat more established character, who was introduced in Son of the Storm.
We started off with a couple of sketches. These are very similar, but we had to determine whether or not we were going with an extra bit of skin or not. I opted for more. Iliana is the kind of person who would use that to her advantage.
As I said, it was a really quick one. Barnswallow went right for the jugular, and we were so impressed. Iliana looks gorgeous and deadly, all at the same time.
Well, it’s time to get our noses back to the Kickstarter grindstone. We look forward to bringing you more from the world of Tellest, and from Barnswallow!
