We have a lot of books coming out this year (and next), and we’re still not 100% done with the writing or the art, so it’s always great when we have something in place, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

Today, we’re showing off artwork for a new property featuring an old fan favorite.<\/p>\n

Silver Serpent essentially shows us the origins of our favorite ranger in green, Steel Tip. \u00a0Back then, he’s doesn’t go by the oft-mocked moniker, though. \u00a0Instead, he’s the protege of the legendary Silver Serpent, a vigilante who has protected the archipelago of Ippius for generations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This story fully embraces the superhero feel of the series, so we did some really cool things with our characters. \u00a0We were lucky to have our artists, RedPear and DLeoBlack on hand to bring these characters to life. \u00a0Above, you’ll see as things are sliding into place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, things are cleaned up a bit more, and we get our first look at the various characters in a more colorful form. \u00a0You can see our two de facto heroes on the right side, while monstrous beings like the gargoyle-like creature in back and the man made of water in the front seem to have their sights set on the Silver Serpent and her young pupil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We took our characters out of the piece in order to clean various things up. \u00a0The aurora was given a less clunky feel, while the stones surrounding this lookout point were left a little more weathered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moving forward, we added our characters and the fire back into place. \u00a0Our gargoyle lost a little weight, the heroes gained a few extra details, and our man made of water is just a little splashier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, we made one last change. \u00a0We weren’t in love with the color of the Silver Serpent’s hair or her pose, so Leo scrapped the whole thing and redid her. \u00a0Turned out great!<\/p>\n

Silver Serpent<\/em> will release in September of this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
