Concept World - Faneurth

Concept World - Faneurth

Faneurth is a world of fantasy where everyone is the main character. From mercenaries to knights, Villagers to Kings and Queens, everyone has their own story to tell. This particular story of the world revolves around the Royalty of the kingdom of Deuselnorc of the Holy Land.

The story follows The Prince of the kingdom of Deuselnorc. Since young, the Prince, Lev resented his father for being abusive towards his mother, the Queen. One day, the king accidentally drove the Queen to her death. This further solidified his hatred towards the King. Fueled by revenge, Lev planned a rebellion to take the king’s head. After years of preparation, Lev finally got his chance to execute the rebellion. Will he finally be able to get his revenge? Or will the king live to rule another day?

Character Design

Initial Ideation of Characters

These are the earliest stage where I just put my ideas in, I wasn't sure what characters I wanted to draw so I did explorations to narrow it down.

These are the very first sketches of the current characters. The colours didn't sit right with me and the design felt too "ancient" for the "modern medieval" I was aiming for.

Second Pass of Ideation

Early passes of the characters. Just figuring out their heights and personalities.

Characters

Lev

For the protagonist of this story I wanted to create a character that is handsome and confident yet rebellious. So giving him a slicked back hair is definitely the right choice, I also chose this pose to clarify his confidence.

Laszlo

I wanted Laszlo to look like a soft yet firm type of king. Covered in luxurious clothing, Laszlo stands firm and confident.

Lev vs Laszlo

To indicate that Laszlo is of a higher ranking than Lev, I decided to differenciate their outfits, making Laszlo look more of a king. By giving Laszlo A bigger fur coat and a crown instead of a circlet I think i conveyed the difference of status of the two characters well enough.

Royal Knights

As of the three Royal Knights, I wanted to give them a "uniform" look but still unique to each's needs and personality. Lillia being shy so she covers more part of her body, Judith being all about the agility in combat, and Ivan just doesnt fit in the human-sized uniform. All while still having the same element of the cape, fur and feather to make them look like they're in the same group.

Royalty vs Royal Knights

To Make the Royal knights look as if they serve the King and royalty closely, I thought they should wear similar clothing and color. The uniform of the Royal Knights has fur and feathers attached on it. Different in size than the one the Royalty has. The bigger the Feather and the Lower the amount of it is to indicate a higher status. While the lesser the fur the lower the status they have.

Environment & World Building

I initially already had a map I had made a while ago that I wanted to develop on, so I did, I created a Layout of the map and planned a more closed up layout of the kingdom I wanted to create for this project.

Map

For the map I wanted the map to look modern, retaining the theme of the kingdom, which is more like simple art deco, while it still looking like a fantasy vibe map. In the end I made the drawing look more "modern" in a way and added textures to make it feel fantasy.

Key Visual

For the Key Visual shot, I wanted to show the majestic feeling of a Kingdom high up on the cliff while showing off the palace as the focal point.

Establishing Shot

The Idea of the Kingdom is to have different levels for the different social classes of the Kingdom the higher the class the higher their residence place will be. All while being connected by a bunch of magic elevators.
