Howdy folks! This week, Tellest will once again be at Wizard World Comic Con in Philadelphia, and one of the things we will have a chance to show off is a quirky little item called Quantum Quest Quarterly.\u00a0 We’re working on making that available in digital format as well, but for now, it is something that was specific to people who bought the Quantum Quest tabletop game.\u00a0 It’s also available on Amazon if you want a paperback copy of this little magazine<\/a>\u00a0(please note, we receive compensation if you purchase anything through this link).\u00a0 Inside QQQ is a short story by Aaron Canton called The Elf of Black Iron Lake<\/em>, which is based on one of the adventurers from the card game.\u00a0 That story will eventually make its way into the Tales of Tellest: Volume 2 book as well, but we thought we’d get a sneak peek at the artwork from that story.<\/p>\n We’re actually introducing a new artist that we’ve worked with for this project, Cristiano Reina.\u00a0 He also did some other Quantum Quest-related work for us that we’ll show off a little later.<\/p>\n For now, let’s dive right into the artwork!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Cristiano started us off with a black and white sketch of the character.\u00a0 Black Iron Lake is a strange place where magic doesn’t work the way it’s known to.\u00a0 Callie-Flynn Xaxos is a shadow priest who actually prefers that strange place and the effect it has.\u00a0 Cristiano captured the weirdness in a great way.<\/p>\n
