Grace makes swimming through the waves look easy! It helps to have a powerful rudder.
Evidently Wat sketched this with the intention of the scene angled against the horizon, with Grace jumping out of the water like a dolphin, but I misinterpreted it as a backstroke XD Still, I think it turned out nice with the light dancing off the water! What do you guys think?

Thank you again to everyone who gave their input in our recent posts about naming the ship and Grace's sprite design! If you want to be surprised with how they are presented in game, you may wish to stop reading here. But if you don't mind spoilers, read on!

Faerie Ring
Within the Earth, toil’d soft and brown
There grows the ring of mushrooms sown
By faeries’ toes, long after dusk
‘Twixt in the paper’d berries’ husks
Gooseberry seeds sprout round the plot
Where flutt’ring nymphs plant burgeon knots

Griffin
Such a luscious feast for the eyes to behold! The fabled griffin—with the body and hindquarters of the regal lion, and the head and wings of a majestic eagle—is arguably the most royal of beasts. She is truly a divine representation of animal forms, known as a heraldic symbol of heavenly power.
Blessed with a hypnotic gaze and innate abilities to defend, the lovely griffin has long been known for its power to protec... 2022-03-22 18:27:50 +0000 UTC View Post
