Darkovia Part II Monster Preview

The forest of Darkovia is cursed by the darkness itself. Even the boldest of adventurers are careful to avoid stepping foot in it. If the vampires and werewolves were not bad enough-- other horrifying creatures lurk within in. Take the undead abomination known as the Terrortoma. At least that is what the locals call it. They say it was a ghoul gone wrong. That sometimes, "it just happens like this." The bite of a vampire does not guarantee vampirism. Many who become bitten, especially by lower vampire, become mindless ghouls. But this is now ghoul! How in the world does a hulking monstrosity like this come to even exist!? Perhaps tainted blood? Perhaps it is what happens if you are bitten by by both a Vampire and a Werewolf before turning? Or was this the intentional work of some unseen dark hand? The truth remains a mystery. So... should you be foolish enough to enter Darkovia Forest, pray you do not encounter the Terrortoma. No one who has fought it has come back "alive".

Art by Dage

Fresh off of Dage's screen-- it is not 100% completed yet. Still getting a few last minute touches. Upon first seeing this horrifying thing Cysero commented, "Looks like a big wad of pre-chewed bubble gum that lost it's flavor, that your sister stuck under the desk two years ago when she had this teacher." It is fascinating to see the monster go from 2D concept to 3D reality. It also feels like the quality of the art continues to rise in AdventureQuest 3D. I especially like the protruding teeth on the 3D model-- it was a nice touch.

Tomorrow...
