[Background Blog] Astatos - The Hyena Gang (Patreon)

Hey Patrons,

Today we wanted to share with you some of the new faces coming in the upcoming Chapter 1 Revision update for Astatos, starting with the Hyena Gang that appear in Zermes' story. (And will be making more appearances in later chapters of the story too)

Each sprite goes through the following workflow:

Reference document including any concept sketches, personality, physical trait descriptions, and base expression lists. [Reference descriptions may vary from the final cannon]

Design draft and revision.

Sprite illustration painting.

Final revisions, variations, and expressions.

Take a look at some of the design steps that went into bringing these yeen brothers to life!

And that's the last of these yeen brothers! We hope crown mages will have the chance to enjoy the new character designs once the revised version of chapter 1 is released in the future! (And maybe even fight against them in a few Trials while they're at it)
