Conceptart / Faction Design
 

My goal for this piece was to design a fantasy culture. Conceptual research on this I started already last year, but if you look and compare closely elements already can be found in the Bonewalker piece I uploaded in February here to PJ. Since then a lot more research from my side in the same direction has been performed which ultimatively led to these character designs, or fictional culture.

I hope you enjoy.

Amazing contrast as usual !
Only the right character waist line/abdominal is bugging me as It is in a different perspective as the two other guys.
This metal render tho, top tier stuff ! this #a6fa53 as high light is awesome.

Looks great, to me it feels like it could be a 3v1 boss fight!

Love the idea of well researched fictional cultures. Can feel some Ottoman and Persian influences in these, but the designs are overall cohesive and have their own unique identity. Great planning!

@Sazdx - Thanks. Right now one more piece is in the making, similar to this. So you can look forward to it :)

@Specialmin: The steampunk stuff ultimatively lead to an early modern world. There are a great deal of reasons why I changed the focus. The steampunk stuff therefore was alpha worldbuilding - Kill your darlings basically. However Overall, this is all still the same universe I am working on.

By now I also think a ton of the heavy handed groundwork is sorted out, which makes it way easier to flesh it out.

sweet characters, do they share the same universe as other stuff you make, like the steampunk knights or fish god worshippers?

@Mathias

Thanks a lot.

Yes buildings and cities could be great fun indeed. A bit of architecture can be seen in the bonewalker piece. I once did a speedpaint with some outdoor stuff.
For the close future however I got a couple more characters I finally want to get in polished pixel artworks :)

Top notch character development. And superb pixeling.

Would love to see more of this culture, especially their native architecture/city planning style.

Clever figure-8 ouroboros.
