Now listen. We will need your help as our beta-testers to find and kill all the bugs and errors that can be hiding somewhere in the code. So please, be careful and inspective, and prepare your tracking devices... 

Stay tuned! 

Shang-La FAQ

We got a few interesting questions on Tumblr, so we decided to make a special rubric here! If you want to ask something about sahash, Shang-La world and something else, just write a comment or drop a message in PM! 

------------------------

Q: Hello Lingrimm, what do the sahash think of obese/fat humans?

A: “I suppose, this guy is a dominant figure… But why other humans don’t obey him? This is a riddle of generations.“

Flynn reconcept

(UPD - changed the character's name)

L: The old design is boring and says nothing about the character. Also, it even didn't fit for the setting! So I completely revamped Flynn and hope he will be remarkable and intriguing character. 

I adhered to "creepy village sectarian" x "scarecrow" concept, that popped up in my head when I started to draw.  Yes, his hair tucked in a collar.

P.S.: My hand hurts so much. It' not a carpal tunnel syndrome, but it still unpleasant, so dra...

Paranoia

Goddes of Peace

L: Kinda reference sheet on Arch-Cora, the goddess of Grahn. She is not the queen of the tribe - she left her tribe in the ages of War and got married on the mortal sahash soldier to protect Ayelahai. Her manipulation with Shang and La made humans harmless, but it brings a lot of troubles instead...

The new puzzle

L: The old version of puzzle is lame and we completely remade it. There is nothing difficult in the solving, but it perfectly fits the setting and situation. Here is a few stages of 'proecting' puzzle. It's  easy task. The most complicated part was writing in Mad Rook's style, but I reached the good result. Is this a... spoiler? I dont know. As I said, the solving is simple. Next puzzles and ciphers will be much harder.

The Cemetery - WIP

G: I'm working on the Cemetery and it's hard xD This is just a piece of this panorama, but the whole linework is done already and it makes me happy.

I was searching for the main concept of sahash cemeteries for a long time - the ordinary gravestones looked too boring for a fantasy setting... So I chose an old Pre-Islamic tradition of using wooden posts and the skulls of goats (they are thought to fight off evil spirits, and help the soul of the deceased to ensure a safe passage to heaven) as m...

Antiquity

In one of her stylish outfits!

Dragonfly animation

This cute little dragonfly is one of the animated creatures that will be living in the Lake location. We also drew a gull and a small fly!

Mr. Choco Mint

Finally finished ^^

Report on the new demo development

Report on the new demo development: 

Added one new CG art in the scene between the lake and the greenhouse. Finished the animaned background of the lake (it's panoramic now) and the bulletin board. 

Edited the parallax, it's looks good & smooth finally, and it's easier to take objects now. There are more items, plus crafting is now possible. 

Added the sound of the text while characters are speaking (Phoenix Wright and Undertale players will understand).
Added...

Rapoda Custom - Step by Step

This simple step by step piece shows our working process - from first design and idea and to the flat-colored picture.  It can be helpful and interesting for you too somehow. 

The final result of our work will be posted here asap.

Sketches for the new cutscene

L: The story about the Mad Rook.

A frog

L: Don't let her bite you! Or you will die. Probably.

Sarnai adoptable (not for sale)

L: I enjoyed, drawing this girl. Her name means "Rose", and she is a perfumer. Also, saying about gambling games, I didn't mean addiction. It's just a hobby - probably, she would like to look at axper races or something. Was bought by Xae'Shiir!

Rapodas practice

G: I was working with a person from FA on their new Rapoda character, based on the chocolate/mint/mango and coconut. And my work ended up with a big bunch of various designs that I'm happy to share with you! I focused on the silhouette and color palette, it's the most important things when you start working on the characters. Small details (as well as clothes) will be done later.

Lins love the first one the most, and I love the third one. What's about you guys?

Contest reward

L: Some time ago we provided the Crown of Leaves Competition in Russian social network. We chose a winner and now we draw this neat diorama for her ~<3 Winner's name is Rutskaya Polina; character on the left belongs to her.

Edna adoptable

L: Okay, she is special for you, folks x) 

If you like her and want to grab, just leave a comment below. After buying I'll send you two HQ versions - with info and without it, if you would like to add something on a personal note. 

The price is $75 for patrons, but it will $80 on FA. We'll post her there tomorrow~

Pumpkin pie!

L: Ingrid loves pumpkins and pie, I told you x3

Sketches for new sahash adoptables

L: I don't like old bases xD 

When I draw these four fellas, me and Grimm got a pair of idea in mind: phurra that are Magpies (aka Adventurers) tames real magpies to stole some baubles or maybe something really valuable.   

And we decided that dallinga people obsessed with birds like pheasants, peacocks, etc. 

Ingrid WIP

L: Time for Ingrid's portrait~ 

Flower of pumpkin, sewing notions aaand... a snake head. 

Axe root storyboarding sketches (digital version)

L: I decided to do it as a video cutscene, so it will be easy to make in AE, as I did with intro. I still have to finish a few details and one more shot (or even two).  

Work on shapes

~

Juny WIP (almost done)

L: Chose the dark cold palette and made red an accent color. Juny is a controversial nature, so it perfectly fits~

Tocopots!

G: We decided to create a new type of Flampots based on the toucans! And we named them Tocopots, because it's funny and gives them the right colour.

More Mare's sprites

L: I still don't know, is it simple to draw him or not? There is no hands on this sprites, but I'll do A BUNCH of animations with hands later. 

Question!

Hi there! A quick but important question for you - are you feeling okay about spoilers?

It seems like we can't post most of our new works without spoiling you some moments from the plot of the 'Crown'.  But the main idea of our Patreon is making you, guys, a part of the story-writing... So... Isn't it natural to show you something that is connected with the next chapters/plot twists of the 'Crown' and its characters? 

Well, tell us your word, we are interested in your opinion.<...

Junyver lineart

L: Changed glasses on ribbon. I need to finish my workday, huh
