We’ve got a kind of weird one for you today, folks. \u00a0As you know, Tellest is kind of ultra-high fantasy compared to a lot of other stuff out there. \u00a0We’re the 4K HD TVs to the old 720p projection TVs. What I mean by this is that there really is no lack of weird, strange, fantastic things that happen in these books.<\/p>\n

Still, we’ve yet to see a single pegasus, chimera or unicorn anywhere in the world. \u00a0Sure, we’ve seen golems and dragons and whatnot, but where’s the freaking other creatures?<\/p>\n

I honestly don’t have an answer for you, but I will say this: at the very least, pegasi are on their way. \u00a0I have had a story brewing for about two years now that will lead into Tellest’s third volume of books (with luck).<\/p>\n

And here’s another thing to say: we may not have a story in Tellest to say about our latest concept art, but we still do have a funny anecdote!<\/p>\n

So, the whole point of this griffin here, which we commissioned from Leo, was that we needed a badge to be our “early bird” for the Kickstarter. \u00a0At the time, Keota was just a gleam in my eye, so we couldn’t use him. \u00a0We came up with the idea of getting a griffin in there.<\/p>\n

\"griffin\"<\/a>Within like three days, Leo had this guy made up, and it’s one of the most gorgeous greek beasts I’ve ever seen. \u00a0It definitely makes me want to think of a use for him. \u00a0Harry Potter had Buckbeak, and everyone seemed to like him. \u00a0You gotta figure a griffin is close enough to a hippogriff to get some love!<\/p>\n

We’re very happy with how this little piece of concept art turned out. \u00a0We’re hoping to get more mythological and mystical beasts all over the sight in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
