Hello everyone. Please meet Jheme :)
I have commissioned a series of concept sketches by a uniquely talented artist to help me begin fleshing out the look of the characters in LOTM. I did insist on grayscale, but the artist did colour anyway because he's too nice for his own good :P Note that this is not the art style that will be in the game; this is simply to give both me and Tanutanuki ideas to work with when concepting the final characters.
These pieces are of Jheme, the Lord of the Manor - perhaps. As the son of the incumbent Lord, early events place him in a difficult position in his life, which you are able to assist with if you so choose. He is a donkey, a species present across the African continent as a beast of burden - far more so than horses or cattle. The artist has presented two poses here, of a confident Jheme, and a more unsure one.
Which will end up in the game? Well, that depends partially on the story, and partially on you :) Which do you like? What do you imagine is going through his head? And what do you think of the design?
