As I'm sure you're tired of hearing, I've had to spend way more time trying to navigate the ever changing lava fields of the tariffs and unpredictable manufacturing landscape.
They probably influenced my art brief when I sent over the details for the Kolossys concept piece! The final version is going to be epic, but here's the work in progress. I love how the primal/elemental chaotic elements meshes with the construct/man-made appearance of the artifact's face.
I'm still on target to wrap up the PDF by the end of the month to meet the original schedule. It's going to be a mad dash to the end, but the end is insight.
Notes:
There are two outstanding illustrations we are closing in on (Kolossys above) and an architectural sketch of Zephyr's Veil done by Creed's own hand. I'm 90% confident about Kolossys. I give the architectural sketch a 75% chance of completion based on previous work with this artist.
Once the PDF is in your hands, I've budgeted time in the original schedule to take feedback on any balance issues, or any other issues, and make updates. We'll likely have a few number tweaks as we get a wider set of eyes and game types/combinations using the material.
When I preflight the PDF with the printer, we may identify issues where the text is at risk of printing artifacts based on image placement or other similar issues requiring small tweaks. This will result in some updates.
All updates will be compiled, and you'll get a notification when the version in your digital library is updated. If there is any errata in the future, you'll get those versions as well.
Once these changes are in, we'll proceed to printing as planned.
The infiltrator propaganda poster is one of my favorite ideas in the book!
Free 110-Page PDF
I put together a 110-page free PDF with tons of content for you.
You can snag it for free on the Kickstarter Follower page — but don’t wait. I’m swapping it out for new content on June 13th!
Once I wrap up the PDF preflight and get Creed's Codex: Echoes of the Shattered Age flowing through the printer, if you picked up the free preview you'll automatically get notified when I add another ~50 pages of content this summer now that the digital library is up and running!
Awe-Inspiring Artwork
I know I dropped a couple up above, but who says no to a few more epic page spreads?
