Recently we asked for some help sketching a new unit, and we had a few very helpful responses in the thread. One person sent us a sketch and then colored it in also, and we knew immediately we had to convince him to join the team: Caratacos.

The first unit that he has drawn for us has now been created, and he has moved on to drawing a number of other units as well. We will be using the art for unit development, but they're too good to just let it go at that. We will also be using them for other purposes more related to promotional uses. Here is a very simple unit that he has just finished - that could be from any number of places, but instead of just showing you the art, it's more fun to let you get a good look at the work and take some guesses as to the unit's name (in English) and the faction/place it belongs to/is found.


The other unit we'll put up here is one that he is using in his signature banner, so since the cat is partially out of the bag there, we might as well let it the rest of the way out too. Take your guess at the unit's name (in English) and the faction/place it belongs to/is found:


We will be putting most of his work up in public as soon as we can, but since most of the units he has drawn haven't been completed by the unit model and texture artists, we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. So, get used to seeing his work - there is a good deal of it on our internal board already and we hope to see a lot more!
