Mordent, the Caustic Cleric

Playable Character for the game Steamhounds; Mordent the Caustic Cleric.

Harness the duality of chemistry by dosing your allies with speed enhancing steroids and corroding your enemies vision with caustic clouds, all whilst masquerading as an egocentric priest with powers of a divine nature.

A design very close to my heart as he secured me the job on the team. I met the developers at EGX London a few years ago and enjoyed their Alpha build of the game and found out they were looking for an artist to redesign their current roster of characters. I went home that night and did the initial sketch and color (Images 1 and 2) and showed it to them the next day. We had a meeting a week later to officially add me to the team at Stray Basilisk!

Since then Mordents design has been the catalyst for the visual identity for one of the major factions within the game; The Sublime Order of Medicists.

Steamhounds is a turn-based strategy game with a current focus on PVP battles. Create a team from a roster of characters, concoct strategies on the fly and delve into the unique gameplay mechanic of stances to constantly be thinking of the best course of action towards victory.
