Artist(s) of GEMS OF WAR?

[jaemal415]

Hello! I am new to the site (but not with the game), and I was wondering if anyone knows who the artist or artists of the game are and if they have a deviantart or an art site that I can find them at? I want to tell them how much I love their art but I wasn’t sure who to look up or where to find more art like this

@Saltypatra I know there was a post at one point on some of how the art is done. When crunch time calms a bit, perhaps a post like a Nimhain’s Lair on the art, where we could send people interest in it to read up.

@jaemal415 Hopefully someone remembers where the post talking a bit about the art process is located to point you to it. I also tagged Salty, as the Social Media Contact that may be able to point you in the right direction.

Here is a comment from @Nimhain on the subject.

Dragon's Claw. Thanks for the DRAGON Kingdom! xD

So there’s team effort between Sirrian, myself and our art director Rhiannon “Ashalind” Bolten to decided the look of a troop. Then Ashalind manages the art team who does the troops and guides them with the art style for each troop, though she actually illustrated Celestasia herself. Sirrian and I work on the dragon names. We try to keep the names inspired from words that help describe them, so Celestasia came from Celestial, Sylvanimora came from the word Sylvan, Venoxia came from Venom and B…

Thanks @Lyya!

Yes, our art director Ashalind is amazing and she manages the rest of the art team. As such there isn’t really an official deviantart that can be visited. Sorry!

I was trying to remember which dev the new troop was named after - thanks for reminding me!

I presume Ashalind likes her in-game namesake.

Edit: On second thought, she’s named after two devs, isn’t she.

[Saltypatra]

Wow @actreal you are so quick on the draw! She is indeed named after a few devs…
