Concept art: Naschkatze Castle (Patreon)

Sometimes I do not feel like drawing NSFW art. I use such days to work on concepts for future comics or my first game. I collect ideas and start sketching.
Today I worked on Naschkatze Castle. Wolftian, Jean, Radogien and Chris live there.
The castle serves as hotel, shop, tavern, restaurant, workshop and meeting point for all sorts of adventurers, hikers, tomb raiders and treasure hunters.
Surrounded by beautiful wilderness the castle is the only save spot within hundreds of miles.

The first concept is from 2018. That feels long ago to be honest. Not to mention that the castle does not exist in that concept. It's just a collection of ruins with a small building and a big tree next to it.

In 2019 the castle concept started to grow. More towers and and a more complex architecture. Similar to the concept from 2018 the castle is still located at a cliff.

In March 2022 the castle concept grew again. It looks like a small town now with all buildings squeezed together. The best idea of this version is a big tower with a large sword inside the roof. It is a neon sign.

2023
I combined all ideas I liked from previous concepts. The big tree, the neon sword tower, roof parts shaped like cat ears, the cliff location and then I tried to make it look one building that belongs together. The most important part: Making it look like a castle. This means thick defense walls, observation towers and a bridge with a gate as the main entrance.
