Set the Stage

Horseplay will lead to Discovery. Find out what our cleric is more than capable of.

This piece is of Xaiphyra, Stephanoodle's centaur cleric and a valued party member in a viking-themed fantasy game. A soul whose propensity for kindness knows few bounds and who possesses the competence to match, Xaiphyra found herself transported to a completely unfamiliar world, inducted into a party of warriors and scholars from different clans searching for information about the impending end of the world. She exudes positivity among the crew, constantly searching for answers and recording every last detail in her notebooks, helping us analyze the situations we find ourselves in, and showing us the direction we need to head in!

It occurred to me that the poses centaurs are usually depicted in are difficult, having to combine human and equine anatomy into one composition and it can be really tricky! I wanted to push myself here and try drawing a horse in a dynamic pose while maintaining clarity in the image. I have a background in watercolours and a love for atmosphere and wanted to incorporate some of that experience into my digital works. The pose was very tricky but I was inspired by old paintings of horses I saw at an art gallery in Texas with my very close friend and wanted to take cues on the dynamics of horses from the artists that grew up around them constantly!

Hope you enjoyed, sis traitor!

Viremont Plaza Visual Update

I finally had the time to adjust the trimsheet texture and I think it adds a lot of life to the buildings now!! I still need to do some adjustments maybe with normal maps and some lighting experiments. Some before and after adjustment shots.
