The Captured Dragon
In this scene, the dragon has been captured by the king and his men. The dragon struggles against them violently, breaking his chains and trashing the surroundings.First, I did a mind map to see what I want to do more clearly and then I did some thumbs for the composition and overall colors.

The Mysterious Misadventures of Andara & Anita
My personal project. A set of character designs for an imaginary monster-of-the-week animated show that is set in 1920s Colonial Indonesia. The story revolves around a pair of twins with psychic powers, who could see and meddle in the spirit realm. They would go around Batavia (Indonesia's capital city back then) and solve various mysterious paranormal cases.
I am very interested in south-east asian creatures and myths because I grew up hearing about them. They were such a big part of the culture and all of them has such weird and interesting features, it is a shame we do not see them more often in media.
Early Exploration Line-Up (Humans)
At first, I wanted to focus more on the human characters and make something like the mystery gang from Scooby Doo.
Characters that were cut was a food-stall man who also works as an informant and a little girl who is the daughter of a dutch soldier residing in Batavia. (because Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch)
Andara
Has stronger psychic powers, but much more fragile mentally. A quiet, timid introvert who is easily pushed around. Is currently studying medicine at a dutch-curriculum college.
Anita
A bright, strong woman who is planning to take over their family's textile business. In between her training, she would accept interesting cases and bring them to her brother so that they can solve it together.
Mbah Slamet
A wise man who guides the twins. He has known then since they were kids and treats them as if they were his grandchildren.
Monsters
Various 'monsters' which the twins would face throughout the series. They are all based on real myths from Indonesia.
