It's been a few weeks since the successful KS campaign for CoTTR's expanded edition, and we've got some updates to keep you sated until the new edition comes out!

Since we're most comfortable with art, we decided to get into some re-works of existing artwork to get us into the mood for the whole project.

We noticed that Ilar's face looked somewhat...varied across different illustrations in the game. I would like to blame it on the nature of magick, being based on Waters and fluid and all that, but it's actually just because we couldn't quite get their likeness from different angles right.

To remedy this, we asked them to sit for a few portrait photos so we wrap our eager tendrils around their illusive anatomy.

(Translation: we created a 3D sculpture of Ilar's head so we can see it from various angles.)

With this, we can adjust the existing illustrations, here are a few in progress.

And a few that are finished.

And when it comes time to make new illustrations, we'll have an easier time of it. We've hit the funding goals for 2-3 reworks, but with this workflow, we could squeeze in several more reworks where the only thing to be improved is Ilar's likeness, so you'll have those to look forward to.

The next steps will be to begin editing the text, sketch out new scenes to be added, and producing the writing and art for those scenes.

You can rest assured we'll be throwing out updates whenever we have something appetizing on our hands.

That's it for now, take care and we'll talk again real soon.
