Shades of Battler, Animated (467), DragonBones (260)

Antima Soldier: Basic Troops of the Antima colony, where they lack in strength they make up for in numbers.

Edit = The original post is now up to date and has been fully restructured to suit the way spoiler tags are now handled.

Once again, love your work :D <3 Keep it up :D

First off, I'd like to my special thanks to those who spared a few moments to fill in my survey. The results have been enlightening and are helping me further pinpoint the correct direction to take Shades of Battler.

To start with I'm going to put a new style of poll on trial.
Rather than broad themes, this time we have 3 designs for a potential Goblin. The winner will be battlerised along with potential variations.




Antima Specialist: Gifted with advanced tactics and innate control over mystic-imbued weaponry; they excel at acting independently without the need for a constant telepathic link.

So, can we get all three of those Goblins. Also, isn't it more work to draw them for you instead of just giving us what you enjoy doing :D I love most of your stuff you release so!!!! <3

Your work is absolutely amazing!

Also, I concur with the 3 types of Goblins. Though, if we only get 1, deformed is best Goblin.

@Solis @jezebelthenun There is nothing stopping me from doing the others at a later point and I just may do at least 1 of them. There are also ulterior motives behind this poll, but I'll leave that a mystery for now.

Overall there isn't really much difference in work load. Apart from variations I have to draw them first anyway as my mind wanders more freely on paper than on screen. It also helps me dump bad designs without wasting hours of work (originally had 4.5 goblins designed).

Oh good! As long as you're enjoying it! Remember, this should be for fun for you :D (I think)

Shades of Battler is now online with its own website complete with gallery of latest releases;
shadowhawkdragon.wordpress.com

Now onto the release, for elemental enthusiasts we have 2 new Spoider variations based on themes of ice and fire

And finally the comes the end of this Antima themed month, the Diviner. Spiritual leaders who stand above even the Weavers as the Queen's aids. A true Diviner may even become a Queen herself one day.

Fear not, for while they are the last they are not the last of the last, just the last for now before I lose my mind to their telepathic mind control!

The polls are in, the winner is the no. 1, the deformed 'Gobbo' at 60+% of the votes. Expect him to arrive in static form next week.

Antima Diviner: The spiritualists of the Antima clans, they stand above the Weavers as they carry out their queen’s will.

The winners of the Goblin poll are here, the Gobbo and Hob-Gobbo!

These guys are the first of a new experimental style of shading.

:kaopride:Very nice‼️

nice work looks like i have a lot of downloading to do lol

Some resource cannot open. Please coment guys.

@Ryuuki Resources from earlier pages will be like that, the way I was doing links was outdated and is no longer supported by dropbox. This is the reason for the zip folders available in the first post. If you would like to see my battlers in gallery format, I recommend viewing them via my DeviantArt or on my website (season 4 only).

Season 1, 2, 3?
how do I get resource season 1, 2, 3 ???

The first spoiler-tag on my first post includes all download links (I have renamed it to make it clearer).

To keep things simple, please use this link.

Ok thank you shadowhawkdragon... It's working.

Dropbox is back online, so release time it is


In the mean time lets start our second experiment into polls. Much like the Goblin poll, here are 3 sketches of 'birdfolk'. The difference is, this time you can vote for 2 or all 3 if you so wish :D

the harpy looks soo cute i hope it wins

@ShadowHawkDragon thank you for all the work you've done. Every battler is just amazing!

As for the poll, all three designs look great. I really can't help but choose all three... Wish they could all appear as battlers someday ( maybe as different tribes) :cutesmile:
