A new release has joined The Artbook Collector YouTube channel with a preview of the artwork behind the DLC of the hit role-playing game Sea of Stars!

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker: The Concept Art of Bryce Kho is a 68-page hardcover release from 3dtotal Publishing, in partnership with artist Bryce Kho and developer Sabotage Studio, to give players a look at the new characters and more for the game. It was released on December 16th 2025 and highlights the talent of Kho in the second artbook for Sea of Stars.

This new volume follows the release for the base game, Sea of Stars: The Concept Art of Bryce Kho, and continues its design approach of showing the progression of the concepts, alongside text conversations with game director Thierry Boulanger. This is a unique approach and is a great look behind the scenes at how the characters and enemies were created. The book also features a look at t-shirt deigns, key art, and the custom book covers for both releases.

In my review of the book, I praised this approach, as well as the fantastic production quality of the book, the choices of what to include, and of course, the superb talent of Bryce Kho. You can read that here - Book Review.

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker is a free expansion for the turn-based RPG and was released in May 2025. It's a new post-game story that takes protagonists Zale and Valere into a new clockwork world called Horloge, bringing more challenges to take on. This includes new areas, puzzles, enemies, bosses, and playable classes. Artificer Arty is also introduced as a new party member too, perfect for the co-op support that allows 3 people to play together. Like the base game, the DLC was met with positive reviews from fans for continuing the charm and fun gameplay that won them over before.
