Megapack III release!

I am super excited to say...It is finally here!

Our third Megapack comes packed with variety stemming from two sources of inspiration. A) Retouching some of the oldest and which I considered useful designs B)Using that effort and energy for new creatures as well!

Returning from older releases we have the following creatures:

  • Dwarves
  • Behemoth
  • Hellhound Inferni
  • Cerberus Ptolemaios
  • Undead Warrior Benkei
  • Void Gargoyle<...

The Revamp Megapack is nearly ready!

Packing both old and new faces, coupled with 5 3-frame frontview map sprites, Librarium's most ambitious megapack to date is now being formatted for release and should be landing somewhere between tonight and tomorrow morning!

After its release I will be working on the August update cycles suggestions!

Are you looking forward to this one? :D

Stay safe!

Fallen Kings 3-frame Map sprites preview!

Howdy! Something nice to wake up to or casually discover depending on your timezone, a preview of the front view map sprites of the Fallen Kings I promised as part of the upcoming revamp megapack!

Complete with a cameo of one of our previous characters...Grand Sorceress Duesa

Or perhaps could it be she is the Fallen Queen, the mastermind behind the shadows and the one who granted arcane power to the 5 races in exchange for their souls? You decide!

KemonoSD Character Pack!

Howdy everyone!

This week I managed to wrap up a special project of mine!

For a while, as a side project,  I had the itch to publish something outside of Librarium's usual line of releases...that something is the KemonoSD Character pack!

An anthropomorphic collection of creatures bundled with a frontview battler, 4-direction map sprites, and multiple emotion facesets! 

The main idea behind this pack was, as a creator, to have all the tools to get wo...

Would you like to...

See speed paints, animation process sped-up videos, or some sort of tutorial perhaps?

Just a quick idea! 

I definitely think a step towards meeting many needs regarding character sets is to at least include a 3-frame frontview for certain humanoids (to get started that is!) But I wonder what other kind of content in general you would like to see, not necesarily patreon feed exclusive, but in general.

Looking forward to your replies!

Fallen Kings Progress!

  •  Goken, king of giants
  • Dreyel, king of elves
  • Skor, king of dwarves
  • Berthelot, King of the undead
  • Jeffroy, the Arcane king

7 Sins Monsters Preview!

Howdy!

Today I bring a preview for the 7 Sins monster suggestion!

One thing I noticed about it was that it was an specific take, geared towards monstruous creatures, so I went for these beyond humanoid for the most part designs!

In this first pack we will have Lust, Sloth and Wrath!

Birth of the Fallen Kings archetype?

Had so much fun refining the Fallen King that I figured, what if these become a new archetype themselves!

Kings corrupted by arcane powers, where their commanding presence is backed up by overwhelming power!

At the very least I will include these two in the upcoming August Megapack!

Fallen King preview!

Howdy guys! Continuing with the expansion of the upcoming static mega pack, today I have created The Fallen King for it!
A king who traded his kingdom for power, bringing about his own downfall! I will be adding foot soldiers to go along with him!
Do you like where the Revamp mega pack is going?

Stay safe!

Fire Lord & Ice Maiden preview!

Howdy!

As part of the upcoming megapack this month which heavily features remakes of older battlers, I figured, why not have an original design or two as well thrown into the mix!

Elemental lords while we are at it! This duo was something I figured would be fun to draw and would certainly find a slot in many games!

The revamp megapack may not be as big as the previous one, but the focus on quality will be th...

Further progress with the Librarium Forest Temple exterior tileset!

Lush green,ancient and consumed by nature is the name of the game!

The focus of the Librarium Forest Temple Exterior revamp is to provide the framework to create forests which host ruins and long forgotten structures. The focus will be structures covered with grass and green moss!

As of this writing I am deciding wether to focus entirely on the exterior for this month, or to split work between the interior and exterior in each update cycle, but I figured progress shots are always welcome...

Major revamp of the Librarium Tileset this month!

Howdy!

This month as part of our rewards I want to push beyond the frontiers of the Librarium Tileset, but before that, I am going to refine what already exists, starting with the Librarium Forest Temple! 

No before and after shots, but you can see the current style of it in the top screenshot, hope this is something to look forward to!

After the revamps are done I will be further expanding the character set and tileset collection related to Librarium releases! Sounds exciting...

More familiar faces coming in the Revamp Megapack!

Greetings everyone!

Figured a nice way to close our August polls and this weekend was to share with you some sketches for more of the familiar faces coming to the Revamp Megapack to be released this month!

First up...the Behemoth! For the behemoth's update I wanted a more humanoid build, keeping its beasthood, as well as making it more dynamic!

We also have a rather recent entry...the witch hunter leader! I am shooting to update the witch hunters to fit standard humanoid Librarium ...

Unfortunatly his love for gold was so great and sick that he touched himself, transforming into a gold statue to be one with his precious metal. Many years after that statue was fused to get the gold and ...
