Throwback: Helping Hand (Patreon)

For today's throwback we have... none other than the very first drawing of Rothwer! Or at least, what would later become Rothwer.

As you can see from the date, this is almost exactly two years old! Man, time flies.

I was in the process of polishing up Sleight of Hand and working on the characters a bit more.

I had already designed Izkaph at this point (though her look changed a little after this picture), but I felt like she really needed a good companion, someone who could balance her off and offer support at the same time.

The first "Rothwer" was a lot younger and a lot gentler than today's one. He was supposed to be a sort of humble healer, but the idea was later scrapped, and I ended up with a ruthless warrior instead XD

As a consequence, this scene was also scrapped :P
