Description Hey guys!

So I know the game has been out for a bit but here's the concept art of my favorite design in Crypt of the Necrodancer. It's Dead Ringer! This guy went through a bit of rough work before we decided on this look here. I was playing a lot of Dark Souls 2 at the time and definitely was influenced by their armor designs.

It was a super cool challenge to incorporate a bunch of instrumental elements into this guy and Ted really did a great job getting it into the game and matching it with the pixel artwork.


It was super fun to draw and you better hit up this link here: braceyourselfgames.com/forums/…  to check out the awesome   animation and pixel art of this very concept! It's been a blast working with those guys.

thanks for checking it out!

Dude if that's true.. FUCK YOU. If the Star Wars films mean anything to you, you should feel like an absolute prick. Thanks for fucking up something I've been looking forward to for some time. You got to experience something, and decided you doidn't want others to have the same experience. Selfish, cock-blocking fuckery, you fucking douchebag.
