Adding channels is a pretty big feat. We'd have to go back to every single piece of armour in the game. At this time, we feel that prioritizing other things will add more value to the game.

That being said, nothing is ever truly off the table.

Hello! Working with a group is awesome. One of my favourite parts of my job is to sync up with different departments and chat about movesets and abilities. The bouncing around of ideas is really fun. I'm sorry to hear about your situation; I'm sure covid doesn't help much. As for tips, there are a lot of things I learned that helped me on my art journey. I'm just going to list a bunch here as they come to mind!
1 - work from general to specific. This is something I still have a hard time doing but I always try and improve. Big to small (if you are drawing a dragon, dont start with the scales around the eyes, start with the whole large form of the dragon and do the scales last, for example)

2 - find your dream studio. Look at the portfolios of the artists who work there. Use that as a target for your own art. I still do that, and will probably always do that. It's a good way to keep track of your personal progress.

3 - do studies. Learn anatomy, perspective,...

YES

Maybe! Non are being worked on at the moment, but they are super fun for the team to make and really help bring the world to life.

Behemoths vary a lot. A variant like blaze gnasher is less time than a variant like Deepfrost embermane or a variant like Thunderdeep Drask which is less than a full Behemoth like Boreus which is less than a keystone Behemoth like The Chronovore!

It also depends on how many people are taking that Behemoth on and a whole bunch of other things. But for an actual answer: Concepts for the next Behemoth are already underway - and I expect it to be in your hands by mid-October.

Wils starts the quest to craft the Skullforge and Moyra starts the quest to craft Molten Edict (the smiths are having an old-fashioned smith-off!). Not sure if that might be related to what you're seeing?

Also - the existing Exotics all have a lore node that unlocks a quest on an NPC in Ramsgate. "The Crystal Method" uses a different, um, method: instead of unlocking a quest on an NPC who grants you the schematics, the node itself grants the schematics and so you should see them ready to craft when you go back to the smithy.

Sir, this is an art AMA.

Hey everyone,

Let's talk about ART!

We'll be here between 2PM PT to 3PM PT to answer as many questions as we can about the art process behind Dauntless.

Everything's on the table from animation, concepts, visual effects, illustration, modeling, you name it!

Important!

Please keep it to one to two concise questions per comment. This makes it much easier for our developers to answer them one by one.

Update:

That's a wrap! We're going back to work. Thank you all for your thoughtful questions. Until next time!
