Going to post some more process shots.
Starting to work up vignettes for each character in Tolemak to build up the world.

I’ve always been inspired by the way a lot of anime uses colour and light. There’s often a primary, yet muted palette which gives it a hazy feel.
I think how technically different something like Trigger’s Promare is to Ghibli’s Spirited Away, yet both have that fresh yet diffused quality to them.
So I’ve been playing in a more painterly style to understand the colour and vibrancy of Albion and Tolemak. It’s a lot of fun.

‘What did you say?!’ A king with everything fears treachery from everyone
More little sketches to start the year off. This one of a young (relatively) Arthur is done with the @kyle.t.webster manga rough brush. It’s my go to for that slightly scratchy nib feel.

✨Some more Freya wip turn around✨
Wanted her to have a stylised yet practical outfit that showed a different side to Tolemak’s fashion.

And finally the polish. Had some fun adding some extra texture and line work. Not my usual approach but been wanting to try this out for a while. .

Next up is the Shading. This can always make or break a character design for me. You really start to see the physicality of your design and whether it’s what you wanted. Really pleased with where Albion has gotten to. I wanted a stylised athletic physique but not too build. I always loved the designs of Spike Spiegel and Gene Starwind and wanted Al to have that same feeling.

Soooooooo it’s been a while. Been getting back in Tolemak. Worked up this little illustration of Albion. Been refining his design for a long time and really pleased with the distinctive look and silhouette he now has. This first layer is all flat colours. I really wanted to understand his purest form and dimensions and creating a ‘flat’ allowed me to do this.

Re-up on Husam. With his updated sword belt. Magnetic tracks allow him to gesturally summon either of his Fractured Blades in a variety of orientations. This perfects suits his dual wielder sword ⚔️ style.

Watched a Miyazaki documentary where he describes his process of creating vignettes of a story which go on to inform everything.
I love this idea of moment in your mind that’s so vivid it can inform a whole story arc.
This moment here may or may not ever come to pass. But for now just wanted to get it out of my head and onto the page.
