I've been kind of hesitant to actually post this. I keep thinking there's more to change and more to add, and that it isn't as good as I can make it. But seriously, I worked long and hard on this thing and I'm getting tired of looking at it. I'm calling this done.

Excuse the possibly eye-shattering colour palette. It has to do with lore.

...

From left to right:

- The Sha'ado (Sha-do) - They absorb the various energies of the world to fight or traverse the environment.

- The Viridis (Vir-ii-des) - They are the guardians of the anima-mundi, or "world soul".

- The Sylfen (Sill-fin) - They're large, winged, frail creatures who use the world's energy as a source of food, since they have no mouth.

- The Ka-arr (Tcha-har) - Basically minotaurs. They're very dumb, but extremely strong. They spoke and used a similar language to the Sha'ado, though a lot simpler.

- The Saool (Sa-hoo-ll) - Their limb count varies from 4-6 legs and 2-4 arms. Their lack of eyes has led to a hightened sense of hearing.

Hm. That could actually work.

Sorry but I don't really have a better idea. It's especially hard, now that I think more about it, with pieces like this because the ratio and the size of the characters in relation to the piece are a pretty big part in making it look the way it does. These things are of course lost in the preview. That apart, I don't like thinking to much about previews myself

Maybe a gif scrolling down? That would at least capture some of general feel I assume.

Duly noted on the "big dumb" bit. I'll try to add some stuff to move it away from the cliché.

I am absolutely terrible with previews. If you have any ideas on how I could improve it, I'd be willing to listen.

Thanks, though. I'm glad you like it.

I like the eye-shattering colors.

I think the preview doesn't do this justice. And I'm a bit fed up with the cliché of strong and stupid but at least the depiction isn't the usual gorilla looking brute.

I really dig the whimsical atmosphere, it has a bit of both, playfull fairytale and mythological feeling to it. That's pretty awesome.
