Souls in the Sand: Concept Art

As I’ve mentioned here and there, I’ve spent the last two years developing an original story inspired by a small Origins+Empires server a few friends and I started planning. The more I developed plans for my empire to be a sprawling overgrown cityscape of ruins and stone framework inspired by the nether, the more I built up this backstory for the character I wanted to play, a small deerfolk boy named Esra. From there, and over months of working and reworking the story and its characters, I’m proud to say I’m coming up on a 100 piece gallery for my Masters Exhibition to display this story in the form of a song-inspired comic, titled: Souls in the Sand.

Over the next month and beyond the date of my exhibition in April, I wanted to start sharing my work here! I thought it would be fitting to first share all of the concept work I did for the characters last semester as I took each character from their old lineup and reworked them from scratch to see if there were any designs I could make more unique or appropriate for the story. This process consisted of four stages: silhouettes, full-body mock-ups, face and head shapes/designs, and experimenting with the final characters’ designs with a set of unique expressions that best fit their personalities and narrative role.

Since each character was reworked separately, the “new” concept lineup is a little disjointed (and some of the characters’ faces actually ended up different from their full-body designs), but I thought it would be fun to line them up to compare the overall cast to their old designs. With each character(s) I post the concept process for, I may share little bits of the work I’m doing or talk a little about their narrative roles as I go, but for now, have Esra!

I know I don’t post original work here often, but I wanted to share parts of this journey with you guys because it’s been very meaningful to me! And I hope all of the work I’ve been doing may at the very least serve as a bit of inspiration or encouragement for us to keep making silly minecraft stories, to keep drawing the characters we love, and to keep being creative in whatever way is meaningful! <3

Also about this work.

In general, I tried to show here that Harry just has diarrhea from thoughts, and all sides are pressing on him, arguing, and only then some mega thoughts are born in his head, precisely because of the conflict of his sides.

But with Kim, on the contrary, everything is structured and restrained, because he is so calm, and accordingly his mind is too. No one interferes with each other and knows their place. And his thought is born not because of the conflict of internal sides, but from their joint work.

Well, for example, Kim has a lot of yellow, because his motor skills branch is highly pumped up. But red (physical strength) is almost not visible, but this is not because he does not have it, but because he does not use it. And it is there, but it sticks out in the background, as if saying that it is here if suddenly it is necessary to fuss. Kim solves problems in any way, but not with physical force.

Harry has many elements, they are all broken and crowded, they are chaotic, they climb on each other, like his thoughts. He does not understand what is happening. Kim has clear sides, generalized forms, with designated boundaries. The sides are in their places, for example, the purple branch is higher than all the others, because in my opinion, he still relies on morality in his choices. The yellow side, which, it would seem, is the most sweeping and chaotic, has some suitable forms. He knows how to control his thoughts, and gives them the desired form.

But despite this, Harry's ideas really do pop. They are absolutely unique and original, he thinks non-linearly, he is unpredictable. his thoughts are like the births and explosions of stars, when Kim's thoughts are associated with an electric lamp for me. The lamp is stable and controllable, but it is also not perfect, sometimes it shines like a beacon, and sometimes it fades or burns out completely.

So this is not just some scribbles! Pump up the conceptualization skill!

They all want their turn but they have to be diligent. Good boys. (Old gift for @positivelyvexed!)
