Over the past few months, we’ve been lucky enough to show off some gorgeous art by a new concept artist, Azot.  Well, he’s not so new anymore, and it looks like he’s sticking around for a while!

We’ve shown gloves and pendants and things of that nature, but we’re getting into some pretty cool stuff today.

First up, we have Azot’s interpretation of the Wispmail.  This armor, worn by Kaos Kreegan, looks like a typical set of chain or ring mail, but it’s enchanted to let the wearer feel as though they’re simply wearing cloth.

Azot made the think look gorgeous on all accounts, and I’d be very happy to see some art with Kaos in an outfit like this later!

But who is Kaos without his trusty sidekick Steel Tip?  The ranger from Ippius came to Draconis looking for an item that was meant to prove his lineage—a magical sword called the Spectrum.

What he found, however, was a bow of the same name.  Above, you can see Azot’s version of the weapon as its taking shape.

The Spectrum is notable for the way it enchants the projectiles that are fired from it.  A magical trail of color makes it look like streaks in the sky, which the ranger is able to use to illuminate the darkness, and to send signals to his allies.

This wraps up the fourth set of items from Azot.  We have one last batch from our initial collaboration, so be sure to come back here on Wednesdays, when we feature our gorgeous art!

So, last week, our big reveal from Tellest 3000 focused on Kaos and his mech, Wildfire.  This week, we’re giving you a look at his best friend Steel Tip, and the mech that he uses, Spectrum.

Just like with Kaos, we started with a few sketches.  Steel Tip was going to be a bit of a sniper in this one, so we had a few ideas of how we wanted him to look, outfit-wise.  We opted to use the variant on the right.

Another look at the character.

After that, our artist threw on some coats of paint.  You’ll be familiar with this color scheme if you’ve seen Steel Tip in our other media. Here you can tell he uses a pretty extensive sniper rifle.

Here there’s a layer of shine on the marksman.  He’s got a secondary sidearm in case he needs it, but he definitely prefers to use his trusty sniper rifle.

Moving over to the mechs, we had a few designs to choose from. They were both pretty similar, and featured a ginormous railgun that essentially serves as the mechs sniper rifle.

The closer look at this one shows that the Spectrum is not something you want to mess with.

Just as before, a little color made this mech stand out—though not too much, since we wanted it to camouflage fairly well.

Just like with the man who pilots it, here you can see the Spectrum in all its glory.  Bells and whistles galore, with a lot of energy doohickeys all over the place.

Finally, you can see Ai Marwan’s look at the two together.  He did a great job, and we’re excited to show you the third and final mech next week!
