Shadowdawn: Genesis is an expansive action/adventure role-playing game following Arashi Kageyama and her companion Ket the Blackwing as their band of outcasts works against the machinations of a deadly conspiracy in a world filled with magic-powered machines. Besides making creative use of tools and artifacts, each character can uniquely master four branches of technomancy and three skill disciplines, each new ability customizable for complete freedom of choice to solve the mysteries laying ahead of Arashi and her friends.
This is one of the rough boxart/posters being worked on, that shows all eight of the playable characters. I am working on another concept while coloring this one (this many characters takes awhile to fix messed-up lines and make look right!) with other secondary characters as well. From top-left clockwise, the characters are: Shion, Nephele, Laura, Yoshitaka, Ethan, Ket, Arashi, and Morsett. Please look forward to finding out more about these characters :)
Great stuff as always. I wonder how it will look when it's finished.
thanks! well one thing is for sure, there will be a lot more color ;)
epic
cant wate to see it done
thanks! me either, I want a print of it to hang on my wall when I'm done ;)
I don't know why, but I swear that "box art" is very similar to another game I can't put my finger on.
Still, your art style shows once again, I don't know why, but the guy in the bottom right corner with the firearm reminds me of Falco from Starfox.
It's actually a fairly common format for drawing group images in manga/anime-style games, so I wouldn't be surprised if it reminded you of anything. Mainly the "Tales of" series for the mainstream JRPGs. It's just one of the candidate boxarts and if I don't choose it I'll still end up using it for a poster or something, if anything I just wanted to draw the main characters all at once since that seems to be the thing to do :)
Thanks again for your comments! ... Falco huh? Well I guess they are kind of similar in personality :)
