(Very) Early concepts of the Single AND Raid Battle layouts! There’s one more battle style I wanna add to the game too but I’ll work on that later, lemme know what you guys think!

(Incoming art dump) Namuh is a familiar face, acting as a secondary mascot of my ARK Story, Journey to Ascension! She is the only known survivor capable of taming and communicating with the mysterious dinosaur, the Banshees!

Norman, The Island Nomad generally prefers a solitary life with his many feathery friends and affinity for healing the wounded, be it man or beast. Despite his preference for solitary life he ends up playing a pivotal role in Namuh’s quest to take town the Frozen Tyrant, Mikhael!

Ghost, otherwise known as The Spectral Bandit is somewhat of a myth on The Island. Despite this, Ghost is really just an assassin/bandit who tribes hire to secretly get back at people who wronged them. Mikhael and Ghost have a rough past, constantly at eachother’s throats throughout the years!

The Frozen Warlord, Mikhael, rules over the entire Northern section of the Island, alongside a portion of the Redwoods. He is nothing to scoff at, anyone foolish enough to anger him will taste his wrath head on! With his Mighty Mammoth and armies, he is a true Tyrant!

Riona the Banshee! Riona was Namuh’s first tamed banshee and because of that they are VERY close, to the point where Riona doesn’t even let anybody else near herself or Namuh. Specifically Norman, for some reason.

Another Banshee, Goliath! Similarly to Riona, Goliath is very close to Namuh and protects her at all costs. Despite this, Riona and Goliath rarely interact unless it’s a mild spat over food, or a mutual hatred for Norman. Despite this, if Namuh’s in danger, they will both defend her viciously!

The third and final of Namuh’s tames, Prowler! He’s an energetic and playful Banshee, who always seems to get on the nerves of Riona and Goliath. He’s also friendly towards most strangers, too! Despite the adult Banshees being of opposite sexes, they are not Prowler’s parents.

Zver! She is the oldest known Banshee on the ARK and is Mikhael’s personal “White Whale”. She has several weapons lodged in her body, all of them originating from The Frozen Warlord. Old age has also caused her to go blind, despite this, she is still an adept huntress!

Here’s Revenant, Ghost’s primary mount for travel and non-stealth combat. Revenant is a formidable foe, and is very protective of Ghost and Phantom. He even went toe-to-toe with the Banshee Goliath to protect Ghost! That’s some dedication!

Here’s Phantom! Ghost’s shoulder-mounted pal is a highly trained thief, despite being albino, he’s able to pickpocket almost any survivor Ghost sets him to target! An invaluable companion for the Spectral Bandit!

Wraith! Norman’s main, and strongest mount is fiercely protective of both Norman and his other feathered friends! Despite seeming rather cold and calculating when there are strangers around, she is actually very gentle and caring to all those who she keeps under her watchful eye!

Introducing, Perseus! Norman’s scout and forager. Perseus is very close to Norman after being nursed back to health after a near-death experience, he protects Norman and his allies with his life! Due to Namuh’s Banshees not being too fond of Norman, he is distant to them, too.

Wren! Norman’s tiny friend came as an addon to him taming a Gigantoraptor, as it was bonded to her beforehand. This tiny trickster usually helps Norman reach spots he normally can’t on his own, and she acts as a scout for him, too!

The final dino, Besomar! A Mammoth of titanic proportion is less of a tame than he is Mikhael’s weapon. Besomar and Zver have a long past, being at each other’s throats for decades before Mikhael came along. It will take a true army to free this beast from Mikhael’s will!

And that’s all the reference sheets done! It took longer than I wanted it to but I’m super happy that it’s finally all out! All these reference sheets were super fun to work on and I hope you guys like them!

I am here now, here’s some art, follow me, or don’t whatever you want Also I got an alt for my game stuff @projectascend.bsky.social if you wanna keep up with that, it’s slow for now but it’ll pick up.. eventually
