Settlement Locations

The Blacksmith The settlement locations are based on the artwork used for our first t-shirt that was part of our Kickstarter campaign. The shirt depicts a survivor with a lantern and the head of the Twilight Knight in their lap. A murky darkness encroaches from all sides. It was meant to feel hopeless. I loved the style, which was done in charcoal (illustration on page 40). So, Melissa Curtain and I set out to emulate that for the settlement locations.

Barber Surgeon

It was important that each piece of art connected with other elements of the game and that they also seemed functioning. You’ll notice a Lantern Oven above, as well as some other tidbits.

Mask Maker

The masks were all designed first (by Melissa as well!) and then we created the structure the survivors mount them on.

Plummery

The the center here is my favorite part. The Phoenix is a monster that manipulates time which leads to all sorts of strange in-game situations; children older then their parents, weapons unmade and survivors gaining understanding from lifetimes they won’t live. I like to imagine the survivors gathering around there to share their experiences, trying to find some sort of solace in the unique situations it presents.

Catarium

24 Art Artof ofDeath Death

To this day, the Catarium remains one of favorite illustrations. It really hit that mixed note of worship and science I was striving for. I wanted the survivors to feel “obsessed” with survival and in my mind that means art and facts get pretty blurred as a budding civilization does anything it can to exist.

Organ Grinder

Turned out that charcoal is pretty bad choice for images full of detail. We used it on the Bone Smith and Skinnery, but once we hit the Organ Grinder it became clear that it wasn’t going to work out. Mel suggested switching to pencil, which I was hesitant about. It was her illustration of the WeaponCrafter that sold me on the change.

Monsters

34 Art of Death

The monsters in Kingdom Death are very special. With the design of each one, I spent countless hours researching and thinking about that monster’s place in the world as a whole. I wanted to know every detail about it and its life cycle, before I felt confident shaving off everything but the very best nuggets to present to the players. Since the Monsters are a major part of how players experience the game, I wanted to ensure that their “story” was layered. As you hunt and battle them, draw their resources, and interact with their related story events and settlement locations a much more developed sense of who they are comes into focus. The monsters carry so much of the story and I wanted to ensure the players experienced it, instead of just telling them in long passages of text.

A more "work safe" version appears in the Monster rulebook. Here, we have the unedited version.

This is the full illustration, whereas the one appearing in the Monster rulebook has been cropped.

Originally, this illustration was planned for a story event called “rest” that would trigger during the hunt phase. We scrapped it in early play-testing and instead used the artwork for the Hunt Phase section of the main rules.

Stonework and Illustration Rules

Classical Influence and Illustrating Rules

I wanted to ground all of the game art with a timeless quality. I felt this would draw players into a dawn of civilization feel and help guide their imagination; as they see their survivor’s go about their lives in a nightmare horror world. We stuck to a simple color palette and gave many of the assets a stone, or crumbling statue vibe. Humor was introduced into the game with the Butcher. Whom Lokman illustrated in a superdieformed style to fit his entire body on the Berserker trait card. It was an awesome way to break up the very heavy tone of the game and I allowed more humor to find its way into the game naturally.

Pinups

Pinup Leather Queen

The pinups were all illustrated by Hong Kong based artist Lokman Lam. They are inspired by pinup artwork dating back to 1940’s. Each pinup is wearing a playful version of the armor set they were based on. Kingdom Death pinups are not cannon to the game world.

The Leather Queen is used on the Transcended Masochist fighting art included in the Manhunter expansion. I was inspired by this art installation of a man suspended over a massive hand. It was an real man, hanging from hooks for hours! Ouch!
