(WIP) Freeland: New Unity | Character Design Revamps — Baltimore

Posted by ApeRoom - 8 days ago


I’m currently working on revamping the designs for all the characters in Armada’s party. I’ll be uploading my WIPs through my news section because I only want to submit the complete illustrations to the Art Portal. This line of pieces is going to take a while before everything is done...

This is a sketch of Baltimore's revamped design. His backstory was a bit difficult to get working with Freeland's new history, but I'm pretty happy with how I've got it here. I even figured out how to work in proto NOVA :)


Also, to give some more detail on the Loganites, they belong to a Hvaldist denomination informed by the lectures of the Hrenish missionary named Logan Aiseth.


Logan spoke of free will as not just a gift from the brother-god Qu’in, but as a direct link to divinity that is shared by all individuals. As such, the Loganites believe that mortals exercise their godliness through friendship and cooperation, for the act of creation, of constructing something tangible or intangible and placing it into the world, forthrightly mirrors the gods’ abilities to do the same.


Logan had inanely hoped that these beliefs would inspire reform within the Church, but the Nocrothians would not take kindly to the notion that the Restitution of Knowing could be paid through any means outside their own glorious grief, much less that mortals were divine in any way.


The Church would declare the Loganites to be heretics and persecute them, forcing the survivors to flee the continent. Most would settle with the Niami in the Leilamani Archipelago, but Baltimore and his family were among the few to indenture themselves and escape to Freeland.
