Summative: Concepts

Early concepts of my protagonist, Mingxia:

The first drawings of character and Transformation. I wanted to use Ancient Greek and Ancient Chinese as a reference for creating my characters and world. I thought in these drawings it didn't show much of the Greek references, and I wanted to base my transformation off a Greek goddess.






The transformation was a bit tricky. I wanted long flow-y hair for a dramatic effect. Thought maybe that it should fade out from her normal hair colour and length. Lighter hair looked more goddess-like, though.





Early concepts of Jaakko. Supporting character and friend of protagonist.





Wanted a friendly yet strong look, as he supports Mingxia a lot.




















Early drawing of Supporting character/ antagonist (but you don't find out til the end)
Wanted him to look approachable, sweet, wise and good. Someone you wouldn't expect to turn out to be bad.







Early concepts of Antagonist/ supporting character who you don't realize is good till the end.

Thought the one on the right looked too much like Jafar off Aladdin. And also maybe too much on the evil side for someone who turns out to be good.
Added a beard to make him look more dangerous and rough than evil.















Concepts of setting. Used Ancient Greek and Chinese for the setting and ships. Wanted a even mix. Some buildings referencing one culture more than the other. Just to make it look more vast.
