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.

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: 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?

BREAKING: the two terrorists were father-son. Father, 50, is deceased and was legally licensed to carry his 6 weapons. The son, 24, is in critical but stable condition in the hospital. Two improvised explosive devices were found at the scene, too. These terrorists were clearly well trained.
