In our first WIP iteration, a great deal more polish has been added to the outer portion of the scrying bowl.  It’s got a more ornate design, and more reflective surfaces and shading to speak of.  The ripples in the water are a little more tumultuous and you can quite tell just what’s inside anymore, but that’s by design.  We didn’t want people to be able to see too much detail because scrying is suppose to be a manner of divining, and the results shouldn’t be too clear.

With a bit more polish and radiant coloring within the water itself, things become even more obfuscated.  Does it look a little foresty?  Or is that a room filled with riches?  That’s up to the person perceiving the waters in the scrying bowl.  Regardless, Steven continued marching this art piece along, making it look even spiffier than ever!

Our final look at the bowl, atop a nicely contrasting background, gives us our best look yet at the new treasure.  This is a wonderful addition to any diviners collection, and we’re so happy that we were able to get Steven on board to get us yet another excellent relic from the world of Tellest!

That wraps us up for today, but we’ve still got plenty more goodies coming in the weeks to come, from character art to treasures and more, so be sure to come back every week!

We’re back with some awesome work from Azot.  We collaborated with him on another eleven items from the world of Tellest, and we’re starting with one that’s going to feed into our short story releasing on Halloween day.

I won’t be saying too much about the Spectral Spyglass today, but it’s going to feature into the next Tellest short story coming out.  Azot always does awesome work, and sometimes it’s even cooler than what I expected.  Sometimes I have to get him to dial things back a notch.

Here’s some hints as to the story it’ll show up in: it features two characters we’ve seen before, and they showed up in another holiday story.

Here’s the completed version of the Spectral Spyglass.  It has got some very cool powers, and I’m excited to see where we can have it show up in future stories.  Keep your browsers open and get ready to refresh in just a couple days!

And don’t forget, we’ve got ten more awesome pieces of art coming from Azot.  2021 is going to be crazy busy with art, from here and the games we’ve been working on.  Stay tuned!
