Galebreaker

A collections of concepts for a pitch I have been building outside of studies.

Galebreaker: a narrative surrounding the lives of pirates, fisherman and coastal towns in a world with vast open skies and no ocean.

Finding the balance between having the characters read as pirates while maintaining that link to their environment on airships was important to me. Even after narrowing outfit design down the final concepts still varied from the thumbnails quite a bit.

Colour found in textiles and props in particular changed from the thumbnails so that it could be used to see the relationships between the characters.

Finding a balance between ocean and sky motifs is an ongoing and exciting challenge when it comes to creature and environment design.

Study of a real ocean and plant environments before combining them.
