A new logo?
On my personal blog, I wrote briefly about some creative stuff from my holidays. But more importantly I started to re-design the Lost Heroes logo (and explained why).
First draft of a new logo looks something like this:

Yggdrasil and Ragnarok Infographics
Came across these on G+ this morning. Wonderful simple infographics on the Norse mythology of Yggdrasil and Ragnarok. Both created by Tiffany Thoreson. (I wish I could make my Aesir Family Tree graphics as pretty as these).

The Norse gods family tree: the Aesir, Vanir and Frost Giants!
I’m finally finishing up the editing part of the setting for Lost Heroes and I discovered I hadn’t done up the family tree for the Norse Gods, the Aesir. I’ve already done the other family trees (and organisation charts) for the other Pantheons in Lost Heroes. So this Easter weekend I put together this. It includes only the gods and characters mentioned within the Lost Heroes RPG setting, so don’t consider it academically correct. Enjoy!
Update: It seems that the full image I uploaded was shrunk by the upload process. Which meant you couldn’t actually read any of the names in the bubbles. I’ve now uploaded the full version again. Enjoy.

What I did on my break: a cover for Lost Heroes: Book of Gods
I finished the section on the Aesir last week and decided to take a short break. I eventually found myself working on this:
Front and back covers for Lost Heroes RPG: Book of Gods
(read about the construction of this image on my personal blog!)
So I take a break from working on Lost Heroes and end up working on Lost Heroes. Go figure.

Divine Family Trees and Structural Hierarchies
So I’ve been playing around with Inkscape during my brief break and I put together theses fancy diagrams of some of the Family Trees and organizational details of the pantheons of Gods in Lost Heroes. Now please be aware, only gods and characters mentioned in Lost Heroes are included in this diagrams and are not intended to be academically correct. I’ve also not included a Legend for the colours or icons used in any of these diagrams. I’m not sure they need it, but it’s pretty simply to add.
This first one is about the Tuatha De Danann, the old Gaelic Celtic Gods. There isn’t much to go on, even Wikipedia, my last resort, didn’t have much more either.
The Family Tree of the Tuatha De Danann (Celtic) Gods
This next one displays the slightly complex hierarchy of the Angelic Choirs and the Four Towers of the Seraphim and their nearness to their one God. Originally I wanted to do this in a three dimensionally format but as it turns out I didn’t have enough information to do it.
Organizational chart of the Angelic Choirs
Despite the chaotic nature of the Legions of Hell, the hierarchy of Satan and his Demons is pretty basic.

Now when you take the Family Tree of the Olympians, things get interesting. This is the largest and possible the most interesting one of the four here. Shows you how much Zeus slept around too.
The Family Tree of the Olympian (Greek) Gods
Seeing I’m about to start working on the Aesir (Norse) pathenon, I haven’t done nay work yet on their Family Tree. I don’t think it’ll be as complex as the Olympian, but it should be just as interesting.
Update: And I’ve finally got around to doing the Norse pantheon!

Artwork up until now – Part 3
After my last post, I’m now going back quite a bit. These are some of my earliest drawings/sketches I did for Lost Heroes prior to the very last version, v0.18. There is some ideas contained here that aren’t going to be in v0.19.

Artwork up until now – Part 2
Following on from my last post, I gathered up some of my older artwork, for the previous version of Lost Heroes v0.18 (which I never made public). Most of these ones are character-oriented and I used a lot of manga art-books as references.

Artwork up until now – Part 1
I’m currently working with a budget of near zero for the production of Lost Heroes and in one of my efforts to do-it-myself, I’ve attempted to do the artwork myself. However, I’m not really good enough, though I’ve been improving my drawing skills specifically because of Lost Heroes. Of course for a game like Lost Heroes based on classic mythologies I should able to source stock artwork and photography pretty easily (I hope). But to get decent images is down the line for me, I have get the writing and game design done first, right?
