Development Log
Anything and everything about the Fated Seas game I am currently developing and maybe some older ideas/concepts that were floating around before and which may come back again in the future (Underworld & Horticultist).
Witherneb
While I’m not super keen on the name of this foe, this demonic insect creature stalk the jungle for intruders and use virulent poison to take down the largest prey. I love the depth of field on this image. This things looks like it’s right about to leap and spit acid all over your face.
Carbuncle
One of the few "cutesy" foes in the game, the Carbuncle is another creature from folklore. There have been quite a few takes on this animal in fantasy literature and video games, but this one fits the mechanics of the creature in the game, as at the beginning of the 3rd round, this slippery little bugger scampers off into the bushes along with the precious gem embedded in it's forehead.
The Abúhukü
One of my personal favorite foes for the game, the Abúhukü, or Blood Sucker is a horrifying creature from South American folklore. This creature was clearly the inspiration for the Predator (of movie fame). Just read what this thing does to it's unfortunate victims:
Sneaking into villages under cover of darkness to attack peaceful sleepers, they cut a small hole in the back of the skull and suck out the blood and vital fluids. Even if one survives an abúhukü attack, they may still sicken and die, wracked with intense fever and painful rashes. Curiously, abühuwa do not attack infants or very young children; rather, they will often abduct them and attempt to raise them as their own.
I feel like Brenda really captured the creepiness of this creature in her illustration - it was great fun watching this one come together from the concept art to the final artwork.
Spore Hunter on the prowl
Spore Hunter art is complete! If you’ve played The Last of Us, I think you get an idea of how dangerous these foes can be.
Spore Hunter concepts
Brenda has begun working on the Spore Hunter. Love the concepts so far.
I also forgot to post the final image of the Spider Monkey.
Eek! A Spider Monkey!
The ravenous jungle...
The jungle surrounding the colony is incredibly dangerous and full of hungry creatures - including the foliage itself! Beware the Mannikins!
Beware the Iron Devil
Holy warriors of the tusked creatures native to this land and blessed with the ability to manifest bestial features during battle. The holiest and most powerful of these warriors is rumored to be an enormous armorclad obsidian behemoth and stalks the jungle in search of intruders.
A Decapitator stalks these woods!
A native of the surrounding jungle, these tusked and monstrous humanoids wield enormous hooked blades and hunt for the flesh of man.

A Hellmouth approaches
One of the Hellmouth pieces is complete! Exceptionally pleased with this one.
