Amongst knightly houses and vampire covens there are those of simpler backgrounds like this lumberjack fellow from Woodsmen faction :-)

Continuing to experiment with how doable it'll be to make units in 3D. Here - made a sculpt of a spearman :-)

Let's get back to the finished units: today I have Osthelm again, namely the crossbowmen :-)

Hello everyone!

Today - here is a sketch of a rider whose blockout I posted some time ago. This will be heavy cavalry in strong armor for intense close combat.

Today - a new unit, the first from the High Throne faction - the royal archer :-)

Today I'll post a small sketch of the future logo of the project. A bag of all sorts of fantasy things :-)

I haven't written for a while: I'm making some significant reworks in all currently finished units. Here are the first results, and at the same time - a new guy: a spearman from the High Throne faction.

Today I'll show you my work in progress again - this time on a swordsman hero from the High Throne faction. I try to draw all new units from the front and back at once.

Hello everyone!

I already have four coats of arms of different factions ready. Here's the entire collection :-)

I haven't posted anything in a while, although the work is actually progressing steadily. For now, here are two more back views and updated front views: for the Osthelm and Varnmark crossbowmen.

Today I have another crossbowman :-)

Also, I was told that units sometimes visually stick together when they are close to each other. So, I am experimenting with ways to ammend that.

Here are some sketches of a banner for the Brigands. Brigand gangs are different: some don't have any banner, but others are led into battle by impoverished knights so they will have some kind of banner.

I once posted a concept for Gendarme – the first of the Osthelm mounted warriors. Here he is – finally finished. I also updated the background for the Osthelm units :-)

The new rider sketch - a sergeant of the Varnmark city guard. They are not a full-fledged cavalry, but rather mounted heavy infantry. They need horses to get to the right place faster, and to demonstrate their status :-)

Today I want to show the entire coat of arms of the red guys – Varnmark. It is a large and independent city-state with flourishing trade and industry.

Today, a new unit: the Royal Huntsman :-) I remember that in Disciples 2, the human faction had their regular archer upgraded into a hunter. I decided to do the same for my Royal Throne faction :-)

I'm re-uploading the concept of the gendarme for Osthelm. I found that the horse's legs were drawn strangely (technically, it's called an amble, but it still looks strange). Oh, these horses - all legs...

Today I have a spearman like this :-)

Recruits are given a spear and a simple club (it is hidden on the other side of the character), dressed in a gambeson and a helmet and sent to stop enemy cavalry charges.

Today I have this billman of the Eorwall faction (it's not for nothing that I finished their coat of arms and banner before this). Heavily armored and well-insulated gloomy guy: like everyone in his faction.

As in any fantasy world, ours cannot do without those who avoid the law in every possible way. Therefore, today we have these grumpy guys with flails. They wait for travelers on forest roads to rob them.

Today I will show the continuation of work on the game logo: I tried several different options - with lowercase letters and capitals. In the end, I settled on one, which I will continue to work with.

Today I have these heavy foot knights with halberds. The halberd is a universal weapon, so these big guys are good both in attack and defense.

They also have wonderful mustaches, which give them a Ghibli vibe :-)

Today I have a sketch of elven coat of arms and banner. Their heraldry doesn't follow the established human heraldic rules: their coats of arms will have colors and gradients that are absent in human designs.

Hello everyone!

I decided to try something new: why not make some of the units in 3D. Let's see what comes out of it... :-)

Eorwall's coat of arms polished version.

They are hunters, metallurgists and guardians of the north. They combine traditions – a fierce nature, hunting and old beliefs – with developed metallurgy and blacksmithing.
