2007 - The Guardians Character Concepts

Another set of concepts originally posted in November 2007. Mostly characters that will be appearing in my novel The Guardians.

First up--Lonkarr, second-in-command of the Vogrove Mountain tribe (the brown Vaarg on the left), and his mate Melia (the magenta on the bottom right) and his son Tyee (in the middle). As a quick note, these colors are subjected to change, particularly Melia's.

Second batch: Nelli (the oragnish pink Vaarg), the cousin of Raiden and Ejnar (see my DA page to know who they are); Tzadok, (blue and green Vaarg), the father of Raiden; and Adeola (violet-blue Vaarg), the mother of Derwynn.

Third batch: in color form, Nakei (the yellow-orange Vaarg), Nelli's mother, and her older sister Aneko (yellow-ish green Vaarg), Raiden's mother; and in sketch form, Melia concept, a couple of Tzadok sketches, and Nakei's other concept.

Lastly in the four batch: Bahiti, a young Vaarg in one of the Vaarg tribes. I can't tell you much about this character yet, but here's a hint--one of my characters is related to her.

2007 - Vritra Sketches

Another set of sketches back in 2007. This time it's of my principle antagonist from my WIP novel The Guardians, and one of my favorite characters to work with in exploration of his general character and design overall.

In the top sketches are concepts when I was redesigning him (and still am to this day as I am with my Vaarg creatures). The middle sketches were of a mini-storyboard idea I had for months in which I hope to animate someday. The last set was just me having fun with a lazy Vritra. After all, he's the biggest bad guy and nothing is going to mess with him. In my old blog I mentioned that I liked one of the sketches so much, I redrew it on a larger scale, which you can find on my deviantart page.
