We got Hozure involved to do a pretty cool take on our favorite ranger from the Spirit Woods though.  Check it out:

You’ll see a lot of green in there.  We knew we wanted to focus on the strain that Eclipse has.  He can control fauna in some pretty cool ways, making brambles burst from the ground, causing trees to sway, and even coercing vines to do his bidding.

Here you can see that we opted to go with a more reserved look.  He wields a saber here (just a plain one—not his soul saber, Twilight). It’s almost as if he’s daring you to mess with him.

The follow-up adds a little more color and shading, and the texture comes into place a little bit more.  It’s hard to cover yourself in thorny vines without damaging your cloak!

And here you have the final look at this awesome character.  There’s a lot more shine here, and the shadow makes him pop a bit more.

We’ve got tons more coming from Hozure in the weeks and months to come, so keep your eyes peeled!

The post Character Art – Eclipse Clarion appeared first on Tellest.

We’re starting her off with one of my favorite characters from the series, let alone that book.  Eclipse Clarion had a brief appearance in The Bindings of Fate, but it was only in passing, and it was only a nod to his eventual full reveal in the sequel.  Eclipse is a ranger from the Spirit Woods, and someone who has a little different of an experience than another ranger like Steel Tip.  He’s never been to a city, he’s very “one-with-nature” and he’s got a cool power to boot.

RedPear started us off like she always does, with a nice little sketch of the character.  In this case, you could see the kind of outdoorsy look that Eclipse would have.

The follow-up showed a little bit more of what we could expect from the final piece.  Eclipse has the look of a highlander, just about, and he’s more than willing to draw a blade against someone who threatens his forest or his friends.

And here we have the final piece.  He’s definitely got the look that I would have expected from RedPear.  She did a wonderful job with it, and I couldn’t be happier.  Eclipse has had his share of adventures with Kaos and his crew already, but his time away from the Spirit Woods is definitely not over.  Stay tuned for more from the world of Tellest, which will certainly feature this awesome ranger!
