My Unpolished Worlds - Art Record for the Creation of the Lateott Worlds

[JakePColeman]

Hi all, this here is the place within which you will be able to see each of my concept sketches and studies as I grow as an artist.
I'm hoping to keep my posts regular so if you're interested in my work then stay tuned.

The concepts below are loose explorations for a few of the races that feature in my personal fantasy world.

A sentient insectoid race

Sirens (Squid People)

Djinn or Genies

This morning, or afternoon I suppose, I worked on the sirens a little more. I pulled the two most standard forms, the two in the top right and the first I did, I went from right to left and top down for all the pages, starting with building foundations and simple motifs for the races with which I could then expand upon.

I laid down four different colours sets for each gender

I made some basic clothing forms for the Sirens last night so I may move on to more specific characters today.

I wanted to keep the clothing lightweight since the sirens live underwater, this means they wouldn't be weighed down as much as the clothing soaks up water. I also gave the female character long trousers as opposed to the shorts the men are wearing. This is because the women have more wing-like fins which allow them to glide through the ocean deeps where as the men are larger and have higher placed fins that encourage them to walk along the ocean floor.
