Age of the Deep - Kealani. A woman wearing golden sandals, baggy pants, white belts with a sword at her unapologetic. There is a white and red sash hanging from her belt. She's wearing a white top with a black over vest. Her right arm is adorned with a golden bracelet. Her left arm is adorned with a fish net that holds various trinkets she collects. Her hair style is a pompadour with side braids adorned with beads and sea shells. Art by CmC.

A new character can fix me. So we made one! Introducing Kealani, our former* Red Tide pirate turned mermaid associate, existed as brainstorming on napkins and a mood board for months. Look how gorgeous @fan-of-frogs.bsky.social made her!

Age of the Deep - early design for Vae meant more as an exploration for her ASL. She is signing "hello! Nice to meet you." Art by CmC.

An early design for one of our heroes by @fan-of-frogs.bsky.social

Vae has aphonia and relies on non-vocal communication including signing. This is an early exploration of that, that I used when choosing how the dialogue system would work.

My characters are pretty expressive. Emotions do that. I get one of these awesome expression sheets from @fan-of-frogs.bsky.social every time we finish a character design. These are great to have.
