Afterearth and More

"When the Queen of the Black Coast goes Beyond the Black River and climbs the Tower of the Elephant during the Hour of the Dragon to find the Jewels of Gwahlur in the Pool of the Black one."

Genndy Tartakovsky is working on a new Conan project, which I'm super excited for!

Diane's version of Bi-Panic is jumping really high into the air like a startled cat.

Solaire of Astora in the Polynesian inspired style I did last time for the Elite Knight Set.

Speaking of, there's also a sketch of said Elite Knight facing off against a bell Gargoyle, this time with a crest of coral on it's head while sporting tiki-plate and a Koa Axe at the end of it's tail.

Lots of square and rectangular patterns with Solaire here, aside from the sun. I wanted to make the smiles look more happy and kind then the fearsome ones you tend to see on actual tiki totems and statues, he is the original sun bro after all.

(In a really posh rich person voice)

"Hmm yes, the Dark Souls formula is sequestered by numerous occasions of longitude caused by a deep and fathomless nausea originating from the behest of one's own endocrine system, supplanted, subpoenaed and... dare I say- Sasquatched by the blephremphatiglasbique arithmetic of nihilistic nostalgia."

A werewolf.

Or it could be a normal wolf. Didn't draw the rest of the body, so who's to say?

Abigael with some wargear. Epoccipitals are those bumps along the rim of a ceratopsian dinosaur's frill.

The front view of a ceratopsian was the inspiration for the Epoccipital shield. The frill makes the widest part of the shield, with the rond and grip (on the reverse side) located where the snout would be. At the bottom there's a spike which sort of matches the dinosaur's beak. The shield is held with the spike pointing with the fist, allowing for some gnarly punches. Hopefully those bumps along the rim would help with parrying?

I like the Ikakalaka sword shape because it has 'Africa Vibes' and also for the cool ways that tip could be used. Thrusts could be like the chopping of an axe, and the hooks could be used to drag armored opponents and their weapons, or to bore thru the hides of tougher creatures.

I was looking at some of those big fighting coats that I think were used by the Mali Cavalry? Thick quilted armor that was both protective and colorful. I really like how different it is from European plate armor, but I still want to evoke some of those shapes so Abigael's Knight / protective-mom-friend-character-class is easy to recognize. I though about how having wooden plate instead of metal would help make it feel more magical and prehistoric, but how I want to blend or stack that plate on top of the actual African-style armor is still a puzzle for me.
