July Teaser - Loot tier WIPs!

Added 2022-07-01 11:43:35 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that the theme for this upcoming month of July is Machinist. The first instalment in the next mini-arc, an industrial story about engineers and thieves in a city of cathedrals.

- We wanted to go more action orientated for the next arc! Our environment artist Ethan had the idea of a dramatic mono-rail chase scene - originally from the perspective of a sneaky hooded figure (a peek into a future month's theme), but we changed it to a machinist trying to stop the thief and save the passengers.

- For the environment, we were inspired by the steampunk-like clockwork aesthetic of some of the technology in FFxiv, and especially by the lovely delicate linework of the concept art. The high-detail ornamentation of this fit in well with Gothic architecture, so it only felt right to combine them.

- Our little axolotl friend is also FFxiv inspired - he's a twist on the adorable catfish-like race from the game, the Namazu!

Thank you as always for your support! The team and I had a blast with this month, and we hope you love the final artwork!
