The visual archive
Remember the world.
The original Shadowbane drawings give its peoples a recognizable identity: feathered wings, patterned armor, heavy axes, and strong silhouettes. These are historical references for BlockchainBane’s visual direction.
The six drawings below are preserved in RPGamer’s original artwork archive ↗, in its July 21, 2002 collection. They remain original Shadowbane artwork; individual artist attribution has not been verified. They are not new BlockchainBane artwork or gameplay screenshots.
