Today, we’re bringing you one of my absolute favorite pieces of concept art – at least part one of it.<\/p>\n

In keeping with his concept art for the races, Paul Davies has finished work on one of the coolest ones yet. \u00a0This time, he tackled the kaja, Tellest’s catlike race. \u00a0We tinkered around with a lot of different options before we settled on a final bit of art that I know you’ll love.<\/p>\n

This one is nice, too, because it shows you how much different the kaja are than the gnolls. \u00a0Of course, each race is varied enough in their own ways that these are just particular extremes. \u00a0Today’s pieces also highlight the first female that Paul has done for us.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at some of these concepts.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

The first thing we needed to decide on was what we wanted our kaja to look like. \u00a0Were they a nice human to cat hybrid? \u00a0Did they look like the Thundercats?<\/p>\n

In these first two experiments, we had a pair that really could have worked. \u00a0They looked cool as hell. \u00a0But I knew that in Tellest, there was more of a feline look to the kaja than what we saw here. \u00a0So we had to take it to the next step.<\/p>\n

\"Kaja_Version2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This variation, too, managed to capture a little bit more of what we were looking for, but it really started to come together in our next piece. \u00a0I felt like this particular concept really moved us forward in the right direction.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Once we knew what we were looking for, Paul did an awesome job of providing us with some pretty cool clothing options, in addition to a base body type. \u00a0This is exactly what you’d expect one of the kaja from Tellest to look like.<\/p>\n

After that, we needed to determine what our character’s pose was going to look like. \u00a0Paul gave us a few to choose from:<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

I absolutely loved that these looked like they could have been the beginning of a five person kaja fighting team. \u00a0In fact, I would not be opposed to that in the future! \u00a0Of course, we did have to narrow it down, and we chose one of those up there. \u00a0As cool as they all were, I just know you’re going to love what we finally landed on. \u00a0She’s the coolest one we’ve done to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
