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.

Whether it be theirs or someone else involved.
New outfit design.
Nude character exploration; through a bathhouse moment in the story.
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.
single recent character study in her first outfit, exploring the way her magic might manifest through her instrument as a bard.
