Hey there y’all! Just wanted to share with y’all what I’ve been working on for the past few weeks.

It’s a world building project directly inspired by my thesis project, where fantastical creatures live side-by-side with historical warriors and historical figures.

The one on the very top are Egyptian Mamlukes riding atop an Ichnuemon (the mongoose), and a karkadann (the unicorn-rhino).

The one on the bottom is a hypothetical encounter between Robert the Bruce (not yet king of Scotland) atop a Unicorn and King Edward the First atop a “War Yale”, a large goat-thing that can swivel its horns.

The goal of this project is meant to explore the creatures of our folklore from multiple cultures to create a cohesive world history, and give a spotlight to some of the lesser known creatures of medieval bestiaries.

I hope to make this series into an actual book and story one day.

Hey there everyone! Just wanted to share something I’ve been doing for the past few days. I first submitted this on my DeviantArt and Instagram, so I figured might as well share it here.

I’ve always had a love of fantasy and history, so I thought it’d be fine to combine both. Imagine if fantasy creatures were part of IRL armies, and sometimes used to settle disputes in a less mass scale than duking out between whole nations.

Please do not Repost.

Making a Period Fantasy for Thesis, need Help

Hi there everyone! Just wanted to update you guys what I’ve been doing and why I haven’t submitted anything in a LONG time. For the past few months I’ve been working blood sweat and tears working on my thesis assignment, which involves involves creating a Animation Pitch Bible set in perhaps one of my fave Time Periods, the Renaissance.

Why the Renaissance? Because the time period is that PIVOTAL moment, where there was just a lot of change, and perhaps was the true beginning of globalism. With all this cultural exchange, I felt that there’s SO much potential for stories to be told in the era, especially if you make it a world where fantasy creatures lived side by side with people. Imagine how much history has changed with this timeline.

I’m posting this here as well, because I need your help. I made a survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6YQ2ZP8 , and I’d appreciate it you guys would fill it in, if you have the time of course. If not, then that’s okay as well.

Cheers everyone! :)

The last WIP of my dragon series, and now I'm off to color all of 'em and compile them into one huge piece. This the other female dragon of the piece, and is on the Hefty side.

This time I featured a Dragon of the Holy Roman Empire, I call it the HRE rather than German is because the HRE is WAY too much of a clusterbomb politically speaking.

A series of lineart (too be colored) as an idea for college. I believe one of the requirements is to give evidence that you want to tell stories. Here's just one. Basically I want to create a story set in Renaissance Europe, where "Magic" as we traditionally see in Fantasy Stories, live side by side with people since the beginning. A good introduction would be how Dragons would look like beside their respective country of origin.

The Dragon on the top is a Portuguese dragon (based on the dragon on Portugal's coat of arms).

Below 'em is a Spanish Dragon and a Turkish dragon (based off my interpretation of Zilat).

Just my interpretation, and just a few of many ideas I hope to explore in college. I just gotta learn how to deal with Maya, I'm telling ya, going from 3dsmax to Maya ain't easy.
