Welcome, travelers.\u00a0 Today we’re going to be spending a short while looking at one of our fan favorite characters, Lyla Brenna, as she’s been given new life by Wern Szuen Lee.<\/p>\n

We don’t have too many full-body pictures of Lyla, and it was in style with what Wern was doing with a bunch of our other characters.\u00a0 Because Lyla is so popular, we thought it would be a good opportunity for us to go down that same route with her.\u00a0 He started us off with a black and white sketch that showed her in a sort of pensive pose.\u00a0 Lyla is nothing if not strategic, so a look like this is pretty indicative of the kind of cool, collected feel that she would have.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once we add a little bit of color to the character, you can start to see the resemblance to some of the older versions of the character art we’ve put together for her.\u00a0 As always, we present her as a blade-wielding warrior (though she is also adept with a bow).\u00a0 There are some little affectations that we had Wern add to the character, most notably the little trinket that hangs off the bottom of the scabbard.\u00a0 While this is meant to be ornate, it can also be effective as a weapon.\u00a0 Even if Lyla were to be disarmed, she still has another alternative at hand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As we zoom in a little bit, and get a deeper dive into the details, we can see that we’re making our way to bringing parts of Lyla forward.\u00a0 The sword is in front of the hands in one case, and we also brought up that the arm holding the handle looked as though it was at an odd angle.\u00a0 In both cases, Wern made sure to make those corrections, as you’ll see a bit farther below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we’re getting even further into the detail.\u00a0 Wern likes to make his way down the character when he’s working on them.\u00a0 So we can see a bit more detail along the hands here.\u00a0 The pose seems a bit more natural, and you can see a bit more shading in places.\u00a0 But in our final piece, you’ll get to see how he brings it all together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we have Lyla showing up on a dangerous rocky cliff in a cloudy region.\u00a0 Still cool as a cucumber.\u00a0 We can see even more polish on all the pieces that Wern looked at, and we can see the jeweled part of the scabbard in its completed version.\u00a0 It shows the sigil of Valtega, which is a nice reference that Wern was able to include.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That wraps us up in our look at Lyla, but we’ve got many more collaborations with Wern in store for you.\u00a0 Be sure to check back here every Wednesday in order to see what new things we’ve got that we’re working on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
