A little bit of concept art trying to find the right character design for Lirielle. This one ended up a little too gothic. I think she needs to be a little more Victorian and little more innocent. At least to start out the story.
Just for posterity, here’s a teaser image from D.O.T. that I drew a few years back. This was a project inspired by the Wizard of Oz and taken in a dark sci-fi-fantasy direction. I still like the idea, but now it feels a little derivative. Plus I struggled a little bit with keeping to the structure of the original story.
Lirielle is the evolution of this idea away from the original source.
