Ohh, I wonder who he might be!
Theheh, well maybe someone would want that, but not me! I kinda want mind soap while picturing Rowinda as a pinup :< Bad of me for even coming up with that idea. Perish the thought! Meep >-<
Is this going to have an original soundtrack or royalty free music?

Well when you'll play the first part of the game and encounter a charming guard captain, you'll know who is

I'm not going to use royalty free music anymore. I mean maybe for short jingles or some minor background/atmospheric music, but the main tracks are all custom made. I have already 6 tracks done and are very good!

Time for another character. Vaelis:

quite happy about this one. Is not the classic-looking deadly mercenary, is not pin-up, and will be interesting since has a somewhat peaceful appearance, but in reality he's a very good fighter!
(No romance option for this one as you know, since all romances have been shown already)

Interesting character and looking forward to our MC reunion with him.
At last our first look at a snow elf... I would have though his skin tone to be more white or blueish in colour (not as dark as dark elves like a baby blue) but that's just the impression I got from the races name.

He's sort of an everyman. If it weren't for the elven ears, he could be one of a number of middle-aged men with receding hairlines that I know. Not the usual elven build.

No the skin is just "pale like snow" (but not really, I tried and they were looking like zombies!), but not blueish otherwise they would be like the dark elves

Yeah I wanted an elf that wasn't the classic "super thin/slender/cool looking/long hair/etc". I think it worked

I like him, strong but disappointed, weary - even though I could see him "snap" and go evil too. (Or maybe not evil, but raze everything in the name of what he considers the "right thing".)
Though maybe he would look more "snowelf" if we follow MarSel's suggestion and try a lighter/blueish color.

Well depends how you imagine "snow elves"
For me the only clear traits are:
- long pointed ears heading up (as opposed to the "other" elves with ears going on the side)
- white/light blue hairs and eyes
I really think making the skin blueish would be too much. Admire Vaelis "Ice Man":

and since the skin is reddish, changing the hue to a more neutral means either desaturating the skin or making it gray more than blue...Believe me, I tried
jack1974

Hmm OK, I made a test with desaturation only (but not changing hue) and maybe with paler skin could work. The problem is that I'd need to change a lots of poses
I'll ask the colorist if he can do it.

Yes paler skin would work but not a killer. Maybe once we see how other Snow elves look it will work but since we have only seen one he just looked like a normal elf. Once we see more with the blue/white eyes and hair it will be more useful. All in all I like his "look" not the usual skinny cute man.

I think might be a problem since I just got both Althea and Shea, and recoloring them all... artist would kill me
They have a paler skin compared to the other characters though (Riley, Chalassa, etc).

I wanted to post Althea/Shea today but I discovered a "bug" in the story/background. They were originally supposed to be twins. Then for variety reasons, I decided to make them look different. Also, doing some research on internet I discovered that only "Fraternal Twins" can look different/have different sex!!
So if they just were "normal" twins, they should have been both male or both females.
I wasn't aware of that, so the intro texts needs to be changed a bit. After Chalassa texts that needed to be fixed I wanted to avoid having to repost the image twice to fix some "plot bug"
(of course we can always use the excuse of... FANTASY WORLD! where the normal natural laws of Earth don't work...)

What is the issue with them being fraternal twins? Aren't fraternal twins the most common variety (in our world) anyway? As long as you simply say "twins" and never "identical twins" (since they're not), I don't see any problem?

Well fraternal thing means that the mother was "fertilised" by two different males...
so I should ask the writer if that's OK.

Not necessarily. It means the mother released 2 eggs at the same time and that they were fertilized by two separate sperm. While it's possible for the fathers to be different if the mother is having sex with more than one man, in most cases they will share the same father.

note that I picked two classes to make the image (Althea=Hunter, Shea=Ranger) but they can both play all the classes, and they also have 3 more outfits each (commoner, elegant, winter clothes). Personally I think they're both quite good looking

Not as intensely adorable as Elenor and Saren, but not quite as child-like either. She still has something of a manga look to her, but he doesn't. Her bow however looks like a toy compared to the big sword her brother is carrying.
