The twin witches had been in seclusion for centuries, living beneath the ruins of the castle, remnants of a time long gone but none knew of the evil which lie beneath it. Arabel in white had a veiled face, hiding the ages that the witches had been unable to defy. Athdara, dressed in black, carried with her a staff with a large diamond. They were haggard sisters who longed for the days of old when wizards and demons ruled the land.

Growing up in small rural area outside of Joplin, Missouri, he longed for a larger city. Being from a small town meant a small school and his school years were not fond memories.

Night Fury

“We shall call you Night Fury.”  

The girl smiled at this and bowed slightly to show her obedience and appreciation to her maker.

Character Development

These are images of the characters as they were being brought to life by our amazing creative team. This collaboration was an incredible experience for us all. As the team (Jen, Nate, Johnny and Clay) got to know each other and our working styles. Blanc Kanvas Art Productions is out of Hinton (mid-western Oklahoma) and Beyond Thought Production, LLC is based in Tulsa (north-eastern Oklahoma) there was some distance learning going on. Through the virtual passing of character descriptions, inspiration photos, sketches, feedback, and more sketches we could see the vision of each character being developed. Now you can see a glimpse into the creations at various process points. We hope you enjoy the peak into the creative world as much as we enjoyed getting to know and working with Nate and Jen!
