Today’s project was finishing up some enemies that appear in the early game. One of the first villain factions your characters will face off with is a group called The Quarry Gang.

The Quarry Gang aren’t necessarily bad guys, they are simply not good guys. They are a gang of less-fortunate who have made an abandoned quarry into their home and are doing what they can to get by.

There will be appearances by these guys around town quite a bit, so expect to see them as the game progresses as well.

The first of these characters I finished was the Quarry Boss. When I was designing him, I wanted him to be a big mountain of a man, but not someone who would be unstoppable in a fight. So drawing him drew from several influences, as you can see by the picture below.

After a little bit of time in the wardrobe department, here’s what The Quarry Boss’s final design looked like.

From there, we turned to designing his underlings, the Quarry Gang Members. When I was first sketching this character, I kind of wanted to go with a John Cena from WWE vibe, but was also influenced by recent games like Children of Zodiarcs with how I wanted them to look.

While I didn’t save the initial character template for this one, this is how the Quarry Gang Members final look turned out.

This design is actually a bit smaller than the Quarry Boss himself, as I wanted to make sure that their boss was the boss for a reason… and that reason is being really big.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got to share today. Expect some more posts coming soon, as a few more big projects for The New World Saga are in the works.
