I prefer when there are no faces. But the background, I love it.
I hope your game will revive somehow the exploration feeling Β of the first Tomb Raider game. Maybe I am way off the real thing you will deliver.

I'd love to hear why you like the minimalist faces more
Would also love to hear more depth in what you appreciated with Tomb Raider!
Really, feedback is great for us !

is that... a person with a FACE ? you're steppin up your game again haha ! seriously tho can't wait to play the game, awesome job !

Hehehe, yup. Though oddly enough, the in-game models will most likely be quite a bit more minimalist.
Thanks for the kind words, keep an eye out at ashen-game.com for more infoooooooooo !

Can't wait to explore those ruins. Hope that blighttown/the gutter - like concepts will also be in the ashen game (those marked as oppidum). I just love walking on complicated wooden-plank mazes.

Blighttown and The Gutter are Dark Souls?
Thanks for the kind words ... keep an eye out !

Yes. DS is Blighttown and DS2 The Gutter. Demon's Souls got another similar location but i cant recall its name.

Thanks for the clarification

I think the best resource would be the game itself. The whole area can be seen on walkthroughs like this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO7qCh⦠The area is covered in darkness. It is mostly composed of various wooden boards, long ladders and bridges. I know there was a simmilar area in Deamon's Souls but I never played it and I don'd know how it's called.

Oh man, I saw your artwork in an article about the game and I thought it looked familiar. Turns out you are working on it.
Look forward to the game.

so when are you going to draw an entire book with this style of painting?Β Β the universe needs it.

Oh man, that would take foreverrrrr haha. It would be a very "quiet" book, not sure I have the aptitude for a more involved story...
But hey, how about a videogame? 
How you been mister?

busy, tired, but happy.
hey, if you ever want PDFs of my books, just let me know and i'll shoot it over to you.

That's great mister ! Glad you are happy, that's the one resource that seems so scarce, especially for artists.
Videogame?! OoOoooo, I can't wait to see what you've got cooking !
And HELL YES I'd love to dive in to your work. Sorry for the delay, sometimes I forget to check the reply section
Hope you're well ! Let me know about the PDFs, I'm excited !
