I’m always glad for the elaborate cast of characters that I have. Some might see it as a little bit overbearing – how many other fantasy series have\u00a0this level of character saturation that aren’t named A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em> or Harry Potter<\/em>?<\/p>\n

But to me, these made up characters are just more friends in my deluded mind. \u00a0A lot of people struggle to make friends. \u00a0I actually\u00a0make<\/em> mine. \u00a0So to speak, I mean.<\/p>\n

And while creating these artificial people and learning their fears, their desires and their histories is pretty fun, having some other artists to lean on for help crafting an image for them is pure bliss.<\/p>\n

Today, we look at Zachariah Caista, brought to life by Joman in his signature style. \u00a0Zachariah is young and brash, and he’s this shining pinnacle of law enforcement in Atalatha. \u00a0As such, he has a pretty spectacular set of armor, and a shield to go with it. \u00a0We started with that in mind, and came up with our poses.<\/p>\n

\"Zachariah<\/a>

While we really liked each of these poses, we felt that (2) was the one for us. It was more expressive and gave a nice look of the shield while letting Zachariah’s body show as well.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

After that, we knew that we were going to get a nice Dynasty Warriors-esque character, especially with the overly large shield.<\/p>\n

\"Zachariah<\/a>

Those poses barely scratched the surface of what Joman had in mind for the character though. \u00a0I swear, he keeps getting more and more impressive with every character he creates. Zachariah was no different.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then of course, we finished off the preliminary portion of the art process with the lineart:<\/p>\n

\"Zachariah<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Somehow, that black and white always looks so darn good!<\/p>\n

We’ll be back\u00a0next week with the lovely conclusion to the process, and a version of Zachariah that pops even more than this part!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
