Hello guys!
As we continue concepting, sculpting and preparing the next release coming in July, the Ashen Alfar set (proxies for Dark Elves, Vampires, Drows etc), we decided to record a 2d sketching timelapse in Photoshop. We usually don't do that because it's much more comfortable to sketch on paper out of home, 80% of our concepting is done outside :)

The object in this phase was not to make a nice drawing, but to find the right lines, motion and energy for a Hero. As the models will be sculpted in Zbrush there's no need for the perfect drawing, but 2d concepting is the perfect moment to do quick and wild test of shapes and compositions. We really hope you enjoy the process!
See you in the next days with a consistent discount code on the Ogre Set complete presupported kit on MyMiniFactory, coming probably day 15th!

Let us know what you think of this Alfar Hero and his mount below in the comment ^^

I like the style of this. I cant wait for the set to be released! Is the wagon from early posts part of this set?

Nate

I liked the longer flowing hair the best of the bunch. I really love this

Nate

The one around the 3:40 mark

I was worried at the beginning of the raptor because the head was identical to the gryphon of the dwarf set. But at the end it’s amazing.

This is freaking awesome 😍

Eric Obara

Love the dino! That pose is so dynamic.

Eric Obara

is an alternate pose for the dino require too much time? Would make awesome mounts for my players in dino world. having two heads for your golden maw mount was awesome for this reason. Then I'd get the mounted amazon for more dino variety

Andrew Coulombe

Ooo nice, would be even nicer if the rider also fit onto the manticore 😁

I love watching this kind of design process.

Lisa Kellogg

You are so talented I am excited to get this design to print.

Ron Purvis

My only comment is that I wish the front legs were bigger and that it had a bit more lizard like front legs and less dinosaur like short arms. Other than that I love the look.

I loved the raptor around the 11 minute mark (with bigger, more dragon-like forelimbs). I liked the alfar’s loose, flowing hair. It looked smooth and dynamic. The general aesthetic looks really similar to the Scourgeland set we just got, so I’m hoping it looks a bit more distinct in final form. But I trust it will be awesome. You all rock!

Anthony Winder

I like the raptor a lot! I know dark elves and spiders are a little cliché, but I would honestly love a spider mount if you're taking suggestions.

Thanks! We did one for the goblins and it's in the shop :) You can always use that one instead

ArtisanGuild

i think in 3d we will go more like for big lizard arms (like a komodo dragon)... let's see what happens in 3d :)

Looking awsome. You make it look so easy :)

I really liked the Raptor with its more beefy, longer arms, it looks really strong and different from what you normally get. Love the elf. Is his armor also chitin like, like those of the scourge land survivors and the elf concept you showed us earlier? I'd love that, I'm planning on using them all together for a party of air-pirates! :D

Nick Bowker

Maybe even a Purple Worm would be cool. May fit the desert theme for these guys better and also fitting for Drow

ArtisanGuild

it's not chitin, this time is dark elven metal plates :) About the beast, it will probably have bigger arms in 3d

Sam T.

Looks sweet!

I appreciate all the work you put into finding the right combination of forms for the mount, especially his head. Have you considered something derived from the crested gecko? They have an oversized delta shaped head with prominent spiked ridges starting above the eye and running down the entire length of the body and tail. It’s really a striking look. Anyway—love watching skilled artists creating—thank you so much for sharing!

AfroWG

Thank you for sharing, amazing process. You made me think about reading again Malus Darkblade, lol, really excited for next month.

Martin

Fascinating, thanks for sharing!

Glitterwolf

I love reptiles, and the altar is already such a cool feature. This set is going to be epic!
