Developing and designing the basic "grunt" of the Kilflame army was a fun task for Craig. These fellas will play a dynamic role in Ophidian Wars as aliances are split - some stay loyal to the corrupted Crucef while others secretly side with their general, La Singa (also Maya's sister). Maya will encounter plenty of resistance from the army of her own people, but can also find help within their ranks.
In these sketches, we see a typical guard in standard Kilflame army gear. To be suited for the desert where most reside, heavy armor is not an option. Instead, breathable light layers of cloth and and a material known as vidrias which is a durable glass-like material are used for protection. The heavy garb on the leading shoulder is to absorb frontal strikes. And the official emblem is worn just below to protect the vital organs and legitimize their rank.
In the end, we felt that the heavy-looking pants in the lower sketch, looked too 'cold-weather' and opted for the tighter light greaves instead. Equipped with spears, the Kilflame army is a formidable force. Better trained and skilled, these soldiers are able to face off with the much stronger and larger Lok Breed.
We hope you like the design. Let us know what you think!
