Blackridge was the capital of a vanished civilization. Now Valdren and Serevoth fight for the Dragon-Eye Crown. Reunited, it can command all four Titan Dragons. Each use takes memories from its wearer.

What would you forget to win a war?

🔥 IGNIS — DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 🐉

The Ignis is getting close.

Our fire-born dragon is now deep into the rigging process and is almost ready for animation.

The model, armor-like scales, molten wing detail, and overall silhouette are all coming together — and the next major step is bringing this beast to life with movement.

🔥 Rigging nearly complete
🐉 Animation prep underway
⚔️ Built to dominate the battlefield
🌋 Forged for ASHEN SKIES

Soon, the Ignis won’t just look dangerous.

It’ll move like it.

THE DRAGONS OF ASHEN SKIES ARE AWAKENING. 🐉🔥

Here’s an early showcase of three dragons currently being brought to life for ASHEN SKIES:

❄️ Frost-Grave Dread-Wyrm
⚡ Fulgur-Storm Leviathan
🌪️ Tempest-Wyrm Abomination

The 3D models are taking shape, and they have now entered the rigging process.

That means the next stage has begun — preparing these monsters for movement, animation, and eventually the battlefield.

There’s still plenty of work ahead.

More refinement.
More animation.
More terror.

The skies of ASHEN SKIES are starting to come alive.

DRAGON KNIGHT — DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

The Dragon Knight is getting closer.

The first texture pass is now coming together, bringing out the layered armor, worn metal, crimson cloth, and draconic details that define the Captain’s look.

🔥 Texturing in progress
⚔️ Armor details coming through
🐉 Dragon-inspired silhouette taking shape
🦴 Rigging is also underway

Rigging has been giving us a few problems, but we’re working through them and getting everything sorted so the Dragon Knight can move properly in-game.

Game development isn’t always clean or easy — sometimes the progress is solving the problems nobody sees.

But every step gets us closer to bringing this Captain onto the battlefield.

More progress soon.

THE DRAGON KNIGHT IS ENTERING THE BATTLEFIELD.

Our Dragon Knight Captain is officially taking shape in 3D.

From concept art to armor, silhouette, and battlefield presence — this is the first step toward bringing one of ASHEN SKIES’ most dangerous Captains to life.

🔥 Wyrm-Blood Champion
⚔️ Frontline pressure
🐉 Bonded Ember Drake
🏰 Built for the siege

This is still an early model, and there’s a lot more detail coming.

But the war is starting to look real.

The Dragon Knight is coming.

CAPTAIN REVEAL: NIGHT-BLADE ASSASSIN

Some Captains win by holding the line.

The Night-Blade wins by making sure the enemy never gets one.

Built around stealth, execution, and high-value target hunting, the Night-Blade Assassin is designed to strike where the battlefield is weakest.

🩸 Hunts vulnerable targets
🗡️ Excels at precision kills
🌑 Uses stealth and positioning to bypass defenses
⚔️ Disrupts enemy plans before they can unfold

In ASHEN SKIES, every Field Captain brings a different role—and a different way to shape the war.

The Night-Blade’s creed:

Strike where others never see.

Would the Night-Blade make your 3-Captain lineup?

We’re leaning toward a full atmospheric siege scene, with the fortress/cathedral as the main focal point.

We want to see how you handle scale, Gothic architecture, battlefield atmosphere, lighting, and composition all working together.

Our current concepts are only mood, tone, scale, and direction references — we want your own interpretation rather than a copy.

If the test is a strong fit, there’s definitely potential for more paid environment work on Ashen Skies.

[Ashen Spire Games @AshenSpireGames]

PAID ARTIST CALL — ASHEN SKIES
Ashen Spire Games is looking for a human concept artist / environment artist for Ashen Skies, our Gothic dark-fantasy siege game.
We’re looking for artists with experience in:
• Gothic architecture
• Dark fantasy environments
• Medieval siege scenes
• Fortress / cathedral design
• Atmospheric key art
• Character or creature design is a bonus
This is paid freelance work.
We’d like to begin with a small paid test piece, with potential for more commissions after that.
Important note: our current concept images are only mood, tone, scale, and direction references — not final designs, and not something we expect to be copied exactly.
No generative AI.
If interested, reply or DM with:
• Portfolio
• Availability
• Rates
• Typical turnaround time

CAPTAIN REVEAL: GRAVE-PALADIN

The line breaks here.

The Grave-Paladin is a frontline tank built to hold ground when the battlefield starts collapsing around the army.

⚔️ Absorbs pressure
🛡️ Anchors defensive lines
💀 Excels in brutal frontline engagements
♟️ Creates space for allied Captains and troops to advance

In ASHEN SKIES, every Field Captain brings a different battlefield role — and a different force under their command.

The Grave-Paladin’s purpose is simple:

Hold the line so others may rise.

Would you bring the Grave-Paladin into your 3-Captain lineup?

#AshenSkies #IndieGame #GameDev #DarkFantasy #UnrealEngine

[Ashen Spire Games @AshenSpireGames]

Not every Captain fights the same war.

Meet four of the Field Captain archetypes in ASHEN SKIES:

⚔️ Grave-Paladin
Frontline Tank — holds the line so others may rise.

🩸 Night-Blade Assassin
Stealth / Execution — strikes where others never see.

🔥 Dragon Knight
Dragon-Linked — bonds with fire and brings the sky to war.

♟️ Dread Tactician — The Silent Hand
Flank / Signal / Disruption — wins battles before they begin.

Each team brings 3 Field Captains into battle, chosen from a much larger specialized roster.

Your Captains don’t just change how you fight.

They change the army you bring with you.

Which one would you take into battle first?

Large-scale medieval warfare never gets old.

We’re building our own Gothic dark-fantasy siege game, ASHEN SKIES, and games like Bannerlord are a huge reminder of how powerful it feels when you’re fighting inside a battle that feels bigger than the player.

Definitely taking the kingdom-building route. ⚔️
