Very nice artwork. :)

Thanks man. With the help of the community, including yours and others more, this project is shaping up to be precisely what I envisioned. I'm so happy :')

Please do share that other version of the art. I love early behind the scene stuff like that...

Okay so, like I said, there is not much difference but Julius' face. Here it is:



It went under three iterations - plus one edit by myself - to reach the final stage (the one to the right). You may not be able to see it since they're side-by-side like that, but when overlaid there is a HUGE difference.

Huh, kind of reminds me of Eric's case in Bloodlines when I look at it, only yours isn't as extreme.
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

Eric's face is total princess. YET he's still beautiful and I love it.

In this artwork I still like more the first face, man :( I'm still deciding which will be Julius' final face from the four options I have, but the first one will forever dwell in my heart.

This needs to become a game.

Once I get back home after my internship in September, I'll do more music. Love it.

Would you mind if I did a classic barbaric version of this Julius for you?

Of course not. The only thing I ask is that you follow what you understand from the sprite's design (taking whatever design liberties you wish), and that you must digitalize it so we can see it very clearly :)

That will not be a problem. ;)

Well done! He doesn't look so feminine now as he does in the other images.

That's a kick ass flavor of Julius!

MUCH better than the official design.

Thank you, dudes!

Please do not forget to visit the artist's page. He's putting his soul in this project and also cannot wait to see what it'll turn out like :)

It is nice to how dedicated a few fans are. Can't wait to see more from this project.
