Hey there folks! \u00a0Last big art update before the upcoming Kickstarter coming at you today. \u00a0And I can say, this is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n
We’re back working with RedPear, and she has delivered one of the coolest character portraits we’ve had so far.<\/p>\n
In As Darkness Falls, one of the newly introduced characters is Retrus O’Ryan, the brother of an aggressive, almost maniacal fellow who wants nothing more than to appear to be a hero to those around him. \u00a0Retrus is a little more reserved… even though he’s seen some hard times. \u00a0Now, he only sees half as well.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The first thing we had to do was settle on the sketch we wanted to move forward with. \u00a0These first two were the ones we passed on, though I really liked that second one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This was the one we ultimately went with. \u00a0Again, Retrus begins as a more introspective, calm and collected character. \u00a0He’s supposed to be a foil almost in some regards to Schirner. \u00a0Whereas the barbarian is quick to anger, and couldn’t care less about his brother, Retrus is devoted to his brother, but smart and cool enough to know when something isn’t what it seems.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Retrus goes on to become an integral part of the third book in the trilogy, because he ends up getting his hands on the mystical gauntlet, Azaros.<\/p>\n
