Hey there!\u00a0 A couple of weeks ago, we started looking at a new feature in our art series, when we looked at some of the “generic” heroes who you’ll fight in the arena of Quantum Quest: Merge Dungeon.\u00a0 Last time around, we looked at some of the more prominent races on the good side\u2014the dwarves, elves and gnomes.\u00a0 This time around, we’re going a bit more fantastical, as we dive into four new races, and the generic heroes that we used to represent them in the game.\u00a0 Below, you’ll see some new characters who you’ll have to keep out of your dungeon!<\/p>\n

We’re starting off today by looking at some of Tellest’s orcs.\u00a0 As I mentioned last time around, the big concern was making sure that the adventurers got a lot of mileage, since you were going to see the same heroes again and again.\u00a0 With that in mind, Sergei gave us a few different versions of the orc warrior, and here you’ll see the orc is probably the most varied out of all of the heroes we get.\u00a0 That’s because not only does their outfit change, but so does their weapon.\u00a0 Beyond that, even their skin color changes.\u00a0 And beyond that, there were several different styles of face paint we could play with!\u00a0 The orcs ended up feeling very personable, and are some of my favorite of all the “generic” adventurers.<\/p>\n

Next up we’ve got some of Tellest’s minotaurs.\u00a0 One of the challenges we had in a lot of these generic sets was making sure that we evoked the idea that these adventurers could be different people.\u00a0 It’s challenging to do when you can see the character’s face, which is why you see a lot of coverings.\u00a0 In this case, our minotaur warriors wear hoods over their heads and horns, which ended up looking awesome.\u00a0 The minotaurs have some of the biggest weapons in the game, either a large axe, or a spiked club.<\/p>\n

After that, we move onto our kobolds.\u00a0 Our anthropomorphic canines are some of the most varied people when it comes to race, but we’re kind of restricted by our budget and the size of the game, so this kobold cleric is more standardized, kind of like a Finnish Spitz or a Shiba Inu.\u00a0 They’re also the brightest-colored adventures, with a range of pastel colors that you’ll see, which sits atop fur color that can be changed as well.\u00a0 Sergei even made sure to capture their whiskers!<\/p>\n

Finally, we’ll look at the most petite of these four sets, the kaja.\u00a0 The kaja rogues have varying outfits (including their scarves), fur colors, and weapons, though only one of them wields the rare crossbow.\u00a0 The kaja have a very flowy presentation compared to a lot of other adventurers.\u00a0 Their scarves draw back, their cloaks billow, and their tail sways\u2014sometimes a bad sign that some of our cat owners might be aware of!<\/p>\n

So that’s it for now, but we do still have more coming at you on the other side of Halloween (after a new, non-QQ art piece from Dennis Van Kessel).\u00a0 We actually still have three more sets of these generic heroes before we start looking at how Sergei captured our named heroes from the tabletop game.\u00a0 Keep your eyes peeled!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
