Cars

L: 

ENG

Thank you, guys, who made me doubt in giving Junyver a tricycle - I was thinking about it more, so Grimm and me decided to concept a special vehicle for her, that would be different from vardo but still looking like an old comfortable wreck.

So, yeah, now there are cars on Shang-La officially (specifically in Latori). It's wildly expensive, mostly because of the mysterious Hao engine....

Maoto (kodo tigers)

G: I'm gonna work on tigers from Kodo's forest - there a few others I still want to draw.

This one is called 'maoto', they are not aggressive with Kodo nation but will be super angr with any other sahash. 

Tents - [Prerender]

UPD
All done! Look at those cute El-Balyamian toys! <3 <3
==================
Old post:
G: I have no idea why Patreon is acting strange today, but it won't allow me to edit some of the old posts so I will post these separately. Anyway, here is the prerendered tents - I drew 3 of them and have only one to finish now!

 We found out some of the tents are too big for the first version of the background, so we changed it...

Nomes (the tsourai of El-Balyama)

ENG  
We drew this concept list on Elbalyamian tsourai - Nomes - to show how they looked like ages ago, before almost all of them died or lost their mind and run wild.   Now they are worshiped as gods in El-Balyama, there are very few of them left - one for each nom (analogue of the state in this country). 

We won't delve into history right now because SPOILERS, so we just leave you here wi...

The Script is Done!

ENG

Hey hey, stop doing whatever you're doing and let's celebrate a little: we finished the main plot of the Crown of Leaves! 
There will be two different endings, tons of menus, jokes, and drama. 
There are ~37 300 words without additional dialogues.  
We're almost there! Stay tuned!

Marestail’s Stage [Description UPD]

L:

ENG

When Grimm and I are discussing a regular background, I'm making sketches like the second one to show scales and shapes - just to figure out, how it will be in the environment. For this one, we thought it will be a medium size scene, looking more or less modern-like, but then focused on vintage and mysterious color. In the end, it will be mixed (we still didn't think about interior).

Searching for inspir...

Anoosh's tail animation

L: While I'm busy with the script, our other artists are drawing. Here are some progress of nifty animations of Anoosh's tail made by fjorge! 

Endagar

L: Another character from the story “Dog in Thorns” :D He got a little redesign too, like Sarissa (because he had parba horns and was called parba, though he is phurra obviously).

The tents [WIP] - UPD

G: This is a left part of the Cemetery - the festival takes place here, but only a few tents will be important for the player. 

You can also see the plush tigers - it's a cute souvenirs that the kodo merchant brought to the festival to sell them to the locals :3

UPD
Now it's almost done! I only need to draw the linework for the...

Sarissa

L:

While we on improvised sick leave, we are working on Shang-La in general, writing about the lore and our characters on Toyhouse. I remembered Sarissa - one of my old sahash characters from the story with temporary name “Dog in Thorns”. Sarissa is Beylerian, but she had pretty random design with dallinga horns and Ayelahaian-like outfit. That was bugging me a lot, before I finally drew her as I see her.

She is 14 years old ...

We caught the flu and were extremely dead during a week, but now we seem to feel a little better, but still... bleh. This is the reason why we didn’t work on the game all these days.

Nourian Weapon

L: These questions reminded me about this concept list I made a few months ago. 

All electrical Nourian weapon named after mythical creature Netleyn, the giant sea eel. Here is some drawing from 2014:

The mound of the lost - close up [WIP2] UPDATED!

ENG

G: Some of the Chapter 2 events will take place at the cemetery. We already had a few sketches/old versions of this background, but they didn't fit the plot so we decided to start over. 

I wanted to give this place the feeling of open space, with the stones and a cemetery tree as the center of the composition. It's not gloomy - so you can see a lot of flowers, sunlight and red-colored flags strung between ...

When I was uploading the poster the first time, I was thinking "Did I do everything right?" and no, I didn't - I made an appointment in 14th of February. Then I fixed myself and change the date a day early - and I missed again, 13th is our busy day.
