"Where the Sea Lies Still" - personal project
"Where the Sea Lies Still" is a personal worldbuilding and character design project that dives into an ocean-themed world inspired by the Soulsborne games (I unfortunately didn't play the games but I really REALLY adore the overall art style).
The main focus of this project is the creation of characters and their designs, showcasing my process from initial sketches to fully fleshed-out concepts. The purpose was to give myself a challenge and push myself to do stuff a bit outside my comfort and just learn new things in the process.
This was done for fun at first :>
Here I've mostly added everything I have so far- I go a bit in depth here: https://imrsandman.carrd.co/#section03
Remnant reference sheet
Old sketch initially made for a completely different world/project but soon adopted into what would become Remnant's design
Anatomy practice? It didn't really turn out how I wanted. They should have a weighty, slouched posture — they are technically in a perpetual state of rot, so they aren't exactly feeling comfortable in their skin.
