Tribal Armor Concept: Janoan Light Armor concept sculpt

Greetings Elyrians!

I know it's technically not shiny time, but here in the US, our regularly scheduled time for shinies falls on a day we dedicate to family, good friends, and the thought that there are things in every life to be thankful for.

And you know what I'm thankful for? As I look around the office and I see everyone hard at work, and I see the concept sculpts and other goodies we can share, I'm thankful to be part of this. I've been making games for a long time and it's a rare and wonderful thing to be able to work on an ambitious project like Chronicles of Elyria. It's an even rarer thing to have the chance to work on an project that embodies everything you've aimed to do in its genre but, in CoE, I have both. Anyway, I know that's not technically shiny related, but I wanted to share: There isn't a day that goes by here at the studio where I don't smile at the thought of what we're working on and what we're working towards.

But enough about me, let's talk shinies! Take a gander at some Janoan light armor:


As with the other armor sculpts we've shared, this one is an exploration of materials and components in our crafting system. As we move into the up-armored variants in future shinies, you'll see some pretty extreme examples of what swapping out components can do. This particular sculpt though, establishes the sort of "base line" and explores the sorts of materials that Janoa use in their craft, based on what materials are available to them in their home biome of the tropical rainforest, and their own predilection for hunting prey.

Stay shiny my friends!

Don't like it.... Mmm

I like it, especially since the armor pieces don't include the pants. Something about the pants in the concept art just doesn't mesh right.

Other than that, looks good. Can't wait to see the other variants of the Janoa armor as I like their concept the most next to Weard.

And hopefully To'resk.

Oh how interesting. Since I'm considering starting with Janoan line, this really gives me an idea of what to expect aesthetically! I can already imagine a village full of people!

Excellent. I like it.
