Visuals: Irregular Fantasy! Prologue

Another blog entry to serve as visual aids for a story on Archive of Our Own. Irregular Fantasy!: The Prologue was published a little over two years ago, and it's time to add to it the intended fixtures of all our AO3 publications: a cover illustration for every chapter, followed by a bunch of character profiles.

We'll be using these promos as the cover illustrations for the two chapters of the prologue. Future stories will hopefully have more elaborate illustrations.

Those character profiles to come later, to serve as a third and final "chapter" of the story. I have a whole process planned; have to design all the characters in the prologue (not fully, just well enough) and then draw them posing. And then, of course, figure out what to write about each of them.

Irregular Fantasy! Redesigns

Got this done a few months ago: having redesigned the Irregular Fantasy! characters, I also had their promotional poses redone. Found a guy going by Nyxthedragon225, he did well enough that I'm currently talking to him about other stuff, other promotional characters.

The idea was that the new poses would not only match the upgraded designs, but also more closely match the poses of the classic miniatures from the comic.

 

I also made another group shot, one I've been planning for a long time, which I call the "drinks promo". I've come to associate each character with a specific drink, mostly derived from all the times they hit various taverns in the comic: ale for Lambert (served in gallons), mead for Mordekai, cider for Kyros, stout for Draak, whisky for Dwalin, and wine for Alvissa. A characteristic container was designed for each, and their choice of drink will be a recurring thing in the story.
