SLARPG: Anthony's concepts for the new NPCs (Patreon)

Here's all of Anthony's wonderful concept art for the new NPCs shown yesterday! Beverly and Rhett's brother (who still needs a name) were designed based on some rough ideas and guidelines from me, while the cats were all his idea

Anthony originally envisioned the cat family as an old wizard and his two granddaughters, but I later realized that the game sorely needed more women over the age of 30. I'd hate to accidentally fall into the common character design trap where all the girls are young and cute, while the guys can be weird and old and unattractive (like Bartholomew with his beautiful, beautiful squashed face). So Anthony redesigned Catherine, making her an unassuming, middle aged gardener/witch who smokes, and I instantly fell in love with the design

Rhett's brother's design actually went through the OPPOSITE process--he originally looked a lot more gruff in a piece of scrapped concept art, but I told Anthony to soften his design and make him cuter. SLARPG may focus on girls, but we still need some cute boys in there too!!

(Beverly's concept art was posted to Patreon in January, but it can't hurt to have the concepts for all the new NPCs in one place)
