Quest Failed - Guest Art Corner #3 - Ruby

Hiya there!

Surprise--it's another guest art segment~ This won't affect the regularly scheduled dev log coming up, so have no fear. This is just an extra bonus post I'm squeezing in for the heck of it, since I have some awesome art to share with you all!

Escapist Howl returns (artist of the lovely tangled Tari piece of before) in this third installment of the guest art corner, bringing with her an amazing piece of Ruby art due to fan demand!

Here we have something of a cheeky, playful piece, encapsulating both Ruby's innate dragon nature to hoard, along with her bandit-like desire to have as much gold as she can. What a fun combination; that makes for double the hoarding power! All while giving a flirty little tease in the process. You'd best keep your hands away from her glorious booty though, lest you desire losing a few fingers. And that's if you're lucky!

From the stylish way the scales were handled, to the soft, warm lighting and even the beautiful way that Ruby's face was rendered--everything about this piece turned out awesomely.

Much like with the Tari piece, this entire scenario, posing and character were all chosen by Escapist Howl herself and I gave her full creative control over things, resulting in the amazing piece you see now~ As always, it was super fun to work with her and I can only hope we have the chance to work together again in the future on yet more wonderful illustrations~ <3
