Welcome to
Tales of Godrina
—
A fantasy world co-ran and created with five artists/writers.
Here, I will be showing my contribution to this world; the characters & the stories I created.
thumbnailing and concepting stage.
I will start by introducing you to my main character and story that we will be following, Vesna Planinić. She is a tiefling character with a design inspired by Serbian traditional costume and traditions, with some flares of other Balkan cultures included.
She is a lone shepherdess who follows her heart. I wanted this character type to reflect in her design and the first outfit she officially enters the world with. A young adult truly just starting to find herself in the land with no family or friends to support her; but the kindness in her heart keeps her from becoming cold and cruel to a world that has otherwise offered her very little.
Working on finding the perfect and most unique color palette.
Settling on the design; now choosing between one of three outfits.
Going through one last sketch for her design & outfit.
I felt that the cultural clothing was too heavy handed, I wanted there to be more fantastical elements to really show her true character, and not one taken from a real living person.
Finally landing on a design that I am proud of and that feels like a fully realized and well-rounded character.
Vesna Planinić, Tiefling Guslar Shepherdess.
Entering
Solaris Arc
—
Our adventurers enter a new stage in their journey.
They visit the city, Solaris, and receive new outfits & missions regarding the urge to face their past...
Whether it be theirs or someone else involved.
New outfit design.
Nude character exploration; through a bathhouse moment in the story.
2022, single recent character study in her first outfit, exploring the way her magic might manifest through her instrument as a bard.
2024, most recent character design update of Vesna that more closely aligns with my growth in style and designing.
Though she’s only been traveling with her small group of people for a short amount of time at this point, I wanted her growth in physical appearance & maturity to show in this updated design.
The new clothing is also a reflection of the city she has visited; while maintaining the comfort of her home village (which is Balkan influenced) This time, her outfit is primarily Croatian inspired.
