Lost Episode wip pics 3

I am going on vacation for a week with Mrs K and figured I could just dump a bunch of these pics here in the meantime. These were from an episode that I worked on for way too long last year that never came to fruition..but I would like to finish it someday. I'm goign to post this alongside the pics every day just so people don't think i'm working on some big legends mode thing currently.

The giant tamed the cave dragons and met with the dwarves. It attended one of their festivals and ...

Athira Etha Interlude: Tales of Kings and Demons

Today we're peeking into the endless library of the former capital and pulling out some interesting stories that helped to build Athira Etha! So, sit back, relax, learn and be entertained as we gain some context from history itself!
------------------

Sorry about the delay on this one. i'll tell you, the worst thing about Steam release so far (from the video production side of things) is those little text boxes that I gotta show in teh episodes. Like, I guess I don't haaaave to do ...

 Next episode is going to be a little different. Another one-off, but based in the Northbridge/Deadbody world. Gonna have a look at some legends mode things and peek in on some stories. Should add some interesting context to our stories, eh?

 Second time working with another artist and things went really well. I was under the impression that the whole process would make things easier, but I ended up putting a bit more into the episode that usual I guess. Complicated things a bit on my end, but still, couldn't have made an episode like this without Pyuth's help. I'll have to try to do some more of these sometime. Thanks for all your support guys. Wouldn't be able to make episodes liek this without you!

 Next episode i'm going to be working with one of my friends named Pythania who's going to be illustrating for this one-off fort. I'm pretty excited about it. I know you're going to love his art.

Northbridge Gallery #10

 You know, I don't think we would have wrapped op this series quite so soon if the game didn't slow down so badly which is a darn shame.

At the beginning of this fortress I realized there are different parameters for fortresses that can be portrayed in my videos. Forts that focus on the dwarves' individual stories, forts that focus on the story of the fort's goals and forts that focus on mechanics and challenges. I guess Northbridge leaned more heavily on the mechanic/fortress g...

Northbridge 10: Wealth Beyond Measure

From high mountains old grew the seed of ambition

it's roots spreading out down the crags to the shore

breaking from homes built in dwarven tradition

'cuz one single dwarf wanted oh so much more.

Thanks for all your patience, my good bastards. I hope you liked the story of Northbridge!

Northbridge Gallery #9

 Number 9? Just nuts.

I had a lot of fun with some of the pics in this episode but realized that it's sorta tough to do a good amount of pictures while also giving an ammropriate amount of illustration time to the big beasts that show up. I have been getting better at balancing the work schedule lately, but haven't had an episode with 3 notable beasts like this yet. Something I gotta figre out how to balance better I suppose..but that being said, it doesn't seem like anybody not...
