Here's another #WIPWednesday for next month's 'Cults of the Outsiders' release.
You may remember the gorgeous artwork for The Justiciar we shared last week (the outsider of Law and Balance). Her devoted followers call themselves the Order of the Axiom and the artwork for these loyalists was based off our very own Cameron.

Her judgments are passed to and enforced by her giant Sentencers as well as her Order of Axiom cultists. Through her servants, she acts as judge, jury, and executioner.&nbs...

Hey again Critical Crew!
Quick sneak peek on another one of our dinos for next month - the Frostborn Mammoth!
Frostborn mammoths are often discovered frozen in thick sheets of ice, only escaping their icy prisons owed to the slow melting of their frozen homes. Some believe these mammoths to be the original harbingers of the frostborn curse, while others believe they are simply remnants of an age in which all the world was covered in ice. Regardless of t...

Just wanted to drop this first-look at the Mosasaur that's coming next month
These dinos are known for having Cerati ships fixed to their backs, and then carrying the sailors across the sea without having to rely on the wind or tides. Many sailors have taken to considering the Mosasaur as back luck, as one seen swimming around normally indicates that Cerati pirates may be nearby...
Stay tuned for more!
