First off, we’re going to look at Vesso Jaith.  Vesso is a pretty handy trapper, and he’s a decent enough thief to boot.  There’s rumors that go around that he’s not a full elf, and that’s followed him all his life, so that could speak to the sourpuss we see here.  Vesso hasn’t had his chance to shine in the novelization, or Tellest books or short stories, but you never know when you’re going to get called up to the big leagues!

Next up, we’ve got another hero who has had a few rumors flung around about them.  Vya Moot is a kobold warlock, but over the years, it’s been said that she’s not a pureblood kobold.  Rather, they think she has some gnoll in her blood.  We also had a little bit of an interesting turn of events when Sergei first did some work on her.  Vya is a female, but the original sprite artwork was vague enough where it could have gone either way.  We had since had at least one more piece of art made for Vya, but Sergei likely didn’t see it.  Suffice it to say, we first ended up with a male version of the character, before it was tweaked to give us the female version you see here on top.  Hmm, could it be something to do with the Tellest multiverse?

Here, we have Vaulen Lightfoot, one of the stars of the show.  Vaulen was the main character that we used to push the first card game, so he’s got a special place in my heart.  He’s also one of the pseudo-leads in the upcoming novelization, and he’s awesome to hang out with in the book.  Thus far, he hasn’t shown up anywhere else in the Tellest universe, but that’s not to say that he couldn’t.  Maybe keep your eye out for any other mentions of the Lightfoot clan in the future!

Alexander Baron is known for being a rich, smarmy fellow.  He uses money to get what he wants, so he might have slipped me a little in order to show up as one of the characters in the upcoming novelization.  We haven’t seen the wealthy settlement of Kingsly, where he and a bunch of other ultra-wealthy people reside, but Francois is currently working on a set of sigils in which Kingsly will be represented.  Maybe we’ll hear a bit more about Alexander there.

And finally today, we have Devaniel Quinnis.  He’s another character who featured in the Kickstarter campaign for the original tabletop game.  Devaniel also shows up in the upcoming novelization of the game, actually meeting up with one of the characters I’ve mentioned above.  Devaniel is a pretty cool character for someone we know very little about, so I’m excited to give him a bit more of a chance to shine in the story, which will be here before you know it.

Well, that’s it for today, but we’ve still got more to show you when it comes to the Merge Dungeon crew.  We’re actually going to be making a hard right to something a little different after this next set, but we still have plenty of heroes to show off when we get back on the road again later this year.  Stay tuned!

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!

Today we’re looking at Vaulen Lightfoot, arguably one of the most popular characters from Quantum Quest, seeing as he’s a boxart character and he was the main character in the little skit we did in the beginning of the Kickstarter video.  As always, Hozure gave us a few poses to choose from.

We ended up going with a version of the character that showed him in the middle of what he’s good at.  Vaulen is a battlin’ fiend, and sometimes that means getting into the thick of it before he knows what’s good for him.  Lucky for him he has his trusty shield and hammer.

Hozure cleaned it up a bit for the finished piece.  Certain design elements changed, but I like the blue kind of runic look he has on his equipment.

And that’ll about wrap us up!  Stay tuned in the next few weeks when we show off yet another Quantum Quester!
