Hello!
As you may have noticed, we’ve updated the design of our page. Our old banner didn’t really fit the new Patreon layout anymore, so we decided to create something new.
While browsing through our art archive, we felt that the tavern scene with the necromancer would be a perfect base for the new banner. You can see the original version right below.
As you may know, this illustration is part of the Necromancer questline, and our necromancer Xocia will lose her bra later on ;-) You can see it here (GIF has lower quality than the actual animation in-game)
But let's stay focused on the new banner :D
A tavern may not be a perfect match for the thieves’ setting of our game, but it simply has that certain cozy atmosphere — the same kind of atmosphere you usually want when playing games like this ;-)
It also gives a good impression of our art style.
So we started adding the other characters into the scene. With a bit of extra shading, they fit in surprisingly well.
There was just one problem left: of all people, our heroine Ariana was still missing from the picture. So we created an extra illustration of her.
Our idea was that she would be carrying the drinks and be just about to spill everything. We wanted this to show that she is the novice in our game.
But somehow, she looked rather boring like that. The problem was that Ariana’s default outfit looks pretty unspectacular in this pose. In fact, it almost looks more like an office shirt than medieval fantasy clothing.
So we gave it another try, this time with a new outfit! We gave her the same outfit as Kate. On the one hand, it looks much more attractive, and on the other, it immediately makes it clear that Ariana and Kate are connected to each other.
And taaa-taaa! Her it is. Our new banner/header. How do you like it?
See you soon <3
