It's been quite some time, so wanted to give an update on the progress of Rinn to date. The content is close to being ready to place into the experienced hands of Walton Wood for editing. The bulk of my focus has been on the introductory adventure—The Inquisition Imposition—which I'm glad to say has come together nicely.

Ste Topley has also been working away quietly in the background on the remainder of the artwork. And I'm excited to share the final artwork for one of the spookier factions in Rinn; the Gloomwardens, custodians of Rinn's dead. Not the kind of thing a mouse wants to meet on the way home from the tavern.

In relation to fulfilment, Rinn is part of the Discounted Group Shipping and the folks at Exalted Funeral are working hard in the background to keep that moving along nicely.

I hope to get another update out soon, as we get closer the finalising all of the content, layout, and artwork.

It's so important to support real artists these days, and with that in mind I wanted to share some of the process behind the character at the front of Rinn's campaign. Mirra, the red squirrel.

I remember sending on the first details of Mirra to Ste Topley. Something along the lines of “an infamous, sword-for-hire. Grumpy, gruff, and armour-clad. Red squirrel”. In no time at all Ste came back to me with an initial sketch, which I absolutely loved. He began to work in some more detail from here.

After some back and forth (and a conversation about the actual length of squirrel arms) Ste settled on what would become the final pose, and moved from pencils to digital.

From here it was into the detail, and I must admit I love the chainmail, buckles, scars, all the small elements that bring Mirra to life (that tail!). It was a real privilege to collaborate with Ste and watch his process in action. The final artwork set the tone for the character art throughout Rinn, and really brought my words to life.

With just a few days remaining in the campaign I again just want to thank you all for your support, and I can't wait to bring my Mausritter realm into the human realm and share it with you!
