If you have mixed feelings about the Arch-Illager, we don’t blame you. I’ve certainly had my share of defeat from his armies lately, and as I’m over here figuring out where I’ve gone wrong in my strategy, it’s difficult not to feel just a tiny bit bitter. And ultimately, even when the victory is well in hand, it may end up being slightly bittersweet.
Sure, he’s a formidable adversary, but as Matt Forbeck’s novel Rise of the Arch-Illager points out, he wasn’t always that way. Oh yes, how far this illager has come since those humble beginnings! After that dramatic debut, he has earned plenty of fans within the community, and yes, even our staff. (Some of us are obviously more devoted to him than others.)
Regardless of how you feel about the Arch-Illager, there’s no question this boss has inspired a number of our community members to put down their weapons and pick up their drawing tools. Kicking things off with a wary glance to an unknown adversary, we have MeowsandRobots’ rendition of the Arch-Illager and a Key Golem, illustrated in Procreate.
