Luna Aren is a character that we’ve seen some of across the iterations of Quantum Quest, but not much beyond that.  She doesn’t show up in the novelization of the game either, so she’s mostly an enigmatic force.  But, since she’s a resident of Hillheim, a city that we’ve hinted toward in at least one book, maybe we’ll run into her in the books before you know it.

Rawen Lerra is another character who we haven’t seen in any stories so far, but who has insane potential.  Rawen is a temple guardian who lives deep in the jungles of Narkoth, which fans of Tellest will know is an island adjacent to Argos, where Kelvin Drakos comes from.  With that in mind, maybe her narrative debut is on the horizon as well…

Next, we have our first character who we’ve seen in one of the Tellest stories, specifically the upcoming Quantum Quest novelization.  Urrabar is a fun little character to follow, and he’s got a huge part to play in the overall narrative I’m trying to tell.  I’m excited for people to see his character when its introduced later this year!

Next, we’ve got the first Quantum Quest character, I believe, who originated in Quantum Quest, and subsequently makes his way to the novelization and the Tellest universe.  I’ve got plans to introduce Garreth to the mainline series, since he’s been my favorite QQ character since day one.  I’m excited for people to learn more about him in the upcoming novelization, but even more excited to introduce him to the other characters I’ve worked on for so many years.  Side note: he’s not really that small, it’s just that his darn whip is making the size appear a little off.

And finally, we have the last of our heroes here, another character who we’ve yet to explore but who has tremendous potential.  Trenton’s Blade, where she hails from, is a place we haven’t seen too much of yet, but as we’ve spent time in Lustra, it might only be a matter of time before we venture to the city.  We’re also going to be working on a sigil for that city in the next set, so at that point, we’ll be even more excited to explore it further.

Those are our five heroes for this set, but we still have a tremendous amount who are coming, in addition to other cool art features from Merge Dungeon.  Join us in another three weeks to see more from this little subsect of the Tellest universe, but don’t forget to check back the other two Wednesdays between now and then, as we have a new continent map we’ll be showing off, as well as a new character from an upcoming book who is debuting first here on the Tellest website.

When we had the box art for Quantum Quest done, it was time to really show off the game at the convention (we’re talking like three years ago now).  I thought a shirt with some cute Tellest Babies-style artwork of the box art characters would go over really well.  We called on Hozure, who did the previous Tellest babies art, and he set to work.

From there, we put things to color, making our adorable little characters pop like crazy.  I absolutely love how Vaulen doesn’t have a helmet, but instead a cooking pot.

“We’re going on a trip!”

I put together a small background for them, but we didn’t actually have a transparent version of the image, so there’s a little bit of aliasing going on.  Still, I think it looks really good, and I’m very happy we ended up with this cute little concept to include in our push for Quantum Quest.

In a few weeks, we’ll have a look at some new baby characters, and we’ll be showing off a new artist who is producing them for us (hint: he’s already worked on something else that’s QQ-related).

See you then!

We had some pretty cool poses to start us off with, but as always, we had to narrow it down to just one.  Can you guess which one we went with?

So, this was a cool little bit of miscommunication.  Garreth is an undead hunter, but depending on how you read that, you might get a different notion of him.  He’s not undead—he hunts the undead.  He’s sort of like a gnoll version of Simon Belmont.  Still, this version of him is pretty cool.  Can’t wait to eventually do the Tellest zombies event graphic novel.

A little tweak here and there brings our gnoll back to life.  Hunting the dead isn’t easy though, so he’s still got tatters in his clothes (and rightly so).

Here you can see the complete version of Garreth in all his splendor.  What do you think?  Are you excited for the other QQ characters to be done up in this style?
