Demons Within sprite previews: Grandmarshall Alistair drafts

Added 2025-01-17 15:10:51 +0000 UTC

Hey hey!

Big preview today! This character's presence is not a spoiler in any way, as he's been mentioned a few times in the game already and, in the next update, we'll get the first glimpse of his appearance in-game as well in a simplified way!

For you, my loyal supporters though, you get the privilege of seeing him in all of his glory as we work on designing and building him up, even if we won't see him (or in all of its variations) in the game for quite a while!

Maybe not every single one of you has stopped to read all the memories, but we have one about Grandmarshall Alistair, the current head of the Dawnbreak Order, and Resnick's feelings about him! Since a lot of the stuff we need for the next update or two, at least on the visual side, are already done, we decided to start working on him already!

As the head of the Order, we went hard with his design. As always, Blain has done a superb job designing his armor and everything else in-between while he and I worked together to make him fit the role he is in. The Grandmarshall is a panther and is not that young anymore. At the same time, he's famous for being a kind leader, so we tried to capture all of it in his sprite, as we usually do!

Do keep in mind however, as always, that these are early sketches and drafts, so the final results might still change. I always think it's cool to see the creation process, however, and how characters look at their earliest designs!

I'll share his finished version with you all when it's done, of course, as well as some of the special little assets we'll see in the upcoming Update 11! Fun stuff!

For now, enjoy the draft!
