Black Knight Revision Teaser

The Black Knight's New art is by ADOPOLICH.

The original was by Applehead.

Unlike with the Vivian/Mara art thing. This time the original art will not be reused. But will be archived in the game files, and at the very least the art repo if it ends up taking up too much file space.

Now for the whys and hows of it.

The original piece had fallen behind in Applehead's own style and skill progress and would have needed to be gone over again regardless. The intimidation and presence of the character also wasn't quite there.

I definitely believe Applehead could have done a great revision of the character as well, but Applehead already has a LOT of character art in game, and spreading out the character roster's artist spread a bit more I think is a good thing here. As when things eventually switch to CG or other variants he won't have as big of a to-do list.

As well, The Black Knight's eventual content will fit much better with ADOPOLICH's style and general content specialty.

Additionally, the original was made with no idea what was under the armor, cause past me is a big dummy. But now I know what IS under there. But it's going to a long ass time before that's revealed, and gets art as well. But this design had that in mind for appearance and was built around it.
