"Hey guys!

I'm an artist on Crypt of the Necrodancer (not the awesome pixel guy, that's Ted Martens). I know the game has been out for a bit but here's the concept art of my favorite design in Crypt of the Necrodancer. It's Dead Ringer! This guy went through a bit of rough work before we decided on this look here. I was playing a lot of Dark Souls 2 at the time and definitely was influenced by their armor designs.

It was a super cool challenge to incorporate a bunch of instrumental elements into this guy and Ted really did a great job getting it into the game and matching it with the pixel artwork.

Thanks for checking it out! Keep on necro-dancing!
