Hey there folks.  A couple of weeks ago, we began a new feature, where you’re able to see the heraldry from the world of Tellest.  We began with Atalatha, so it’s only fitting that we show off the flip side of the human civilization on Draconis.  Today, we’ll be looking at Blacklehn.

Blacklehn’s sigil is a silver bull.  It’s a strong, dependable animal, and Galen Fowler, the leader of Blacklehn uses it for their crest for those reasons, and to remind people of what they overcame.  This version of the symbol is the simple, flat design, but just like with Atalatha, we get to see a few different versions.

Here’s the metallic flag version of the piece.  You can’t even really tell because of the cool duality of the piece.

 

It’s only seeing them on the same screen that you can see the subtle differences.

Here you can see the chipped paint version of the sigil.  I almost envision this inside a temple where people are praying to the gods.

And here we go looking at my favorite versions of these sigils.  This is the look that makes me imagine what it could be like if a small invading force was leaving almost medieval-style graffiti tags, getting into the heads of their enemies.  Totally a thing I could see Blacklehn doing.

Bonus: Just like last time, I’ve got a cool, mobile phone sized background you can use.

Hey there folks.  We have an interesting new type of art that we’re going to be showing off over the next few months that I’m really excited about.  All of my favorite fantasies have symbolic sigils or house banners or symbols of the gods—things of that nature.  A while back, Francois (our logo designer), had the fantastic idea to do banners for Tellest, and we weren’t ready for them yet.  Today marks the first push forward toward that though!  And what better city to start with than Atalatha, the central hub of the earlier Tellest stories?

We started with something pretty basic.  From what I knew of heraldry, I started putting together a few different concepts for our half-dozen sigils that we were going to work on.  For Atalatha, a golden phoenix on a blue background seemed like it would fit the feel of the “golden city.”  Francois delivered an awesome concept, but he didn’t stop there.

Francois ended up giving us an awesome set of the sigils with expanded effects.  This is a version of the sigil with a metallic embossing, on a canvas-like material.

This one is also a sort of flag-like material, but the symbol isn’t metallic.

This is a cool one.  I imagine this is like a tile that’s been lost to time that once sat outside a prominent building.  Wear and tear somehow makes the piece look even cooler.

This effect is my absolute favorite, across the board, for all of the sigils that Francois did.  That’s why this one is getting the featured status.  Big thanks to Francois for all his work on this project.  He did an awesome job that we were really happy with.  I’m definitely going to get him involved in more of this stuff.  Stay tuned for the next sigil in a few weeks.

Bonus: If this kind of thing tickles your fancy, how about a version of the painted sigil that’s sized for mobile phones?

Good day all you Tellest fans and Quantum Questers!

We have a fun treat for you today.  We’ve already shown off the cover art of the Quantum Quest expansion on the Kickstarter for the original game, but what we didn’t show off was the process to make it as awesome as it is.  Well, we can change that right now!

We gave Leo the four characters that were going to be getting the star treatment (as well as the new headliner background) and he gave us a rough sketch.  We could already tell we were going to love what we were working with.

A little more detail made everything pop that much more.  The magic effects look even cooler, and our two ranged adventurers look ready to throw down with the best of them.

Here you have the full piece.  Leo truly outdid himself here, and we were blown away by his work.  We’re very excited to show off more from this game over the next few months, so keep an eye out!
