this is somewhat unrealistic because Clove (green robot) is no way that graceful

Read one of the best fantasy series of all time. Start with Guards Guards, then go in publication order. It's peak.

FYI, as part of this interlude arc, we’ve been including these brief scripted vignettes at the start of each episode.

I wrote this one! Also the one for part 2. It’s been fun to put these out, it’s an interesting change of pace.

Quoting this so other ppl can see it.

If you want to support indie devs the best way to do it is to review their games on Steam, because games get a visibility boost the more reviews they have.

You don't need to write a long review for it to 'count' either, a single sentence is enough.

Some initial art of the abandoned village and cemetery.  Not much to say here.

Some concept art of the flower fields and ruins.  I probably could've drawn so many more flowers, but I wanted to keep the design simple and easy to recognize.

An attempt at drawing our witch and cat with more normal proportions (and NOSES).  I always imagined the witch having a heavier build.

Last batch of witch art. Dang that's a lot of art.

Concept art of Merlin, everyone's favorite cat!  Look at them cats.

Concept art of the Forest Spirit, everyone's favorite bush!  I was considering having an animation where he literally just runs off with the witch for quick travel.  Alas, maybe if I was a better animator.

Mock-ups of the game's interface.  I ended up going through several iterations; this was the first pass.

More interface mock-ups, this time for the crafting interface.  This also took a while to figure out, had to do several passes.

Key art for the game release, a picture of the witch in a snowy field.  I'm still not completely satisfied with the snowfall.

Some basic drawings of the witch and scenery to start figuring out an art style.  I'm not sure why I picked this background texture for the concepts, but I ended up running with it going forward.

Basic layout of the cottage!  There was some initial plans to have a room to review the forest map, but the idea was scrapped.  Really proud of how this cottage turned out though.

An army of drawings for the witch's casual clothes.  I was originally planning on selecting one outfit, but at the end two were used for the cottage interior.

There's been a lot of art drawn for Winter Witch! Starting a thread to share some of the digital works.

"Why does he have a bread knife?" Because another player suggested that "the best knives are in the kitchen" and we've been goddamn rolling with it ever since.

Icon art of Edwyn, a shadow wode elf.  He is surrounded by black ash and is wielding a bread knife.

Our tabletop group is running a new Draw Steel campaign, so I put some character art together for my guy Edwyn.
