The Star Catcher - [School Project]
(Made in September-October 2021)
A young elf, travelling alone, searching for what they could be missing, running away from their home in hopes of discovering the universe.
The subject we were doing was called "The Traveler", and we had to create a character around that. I decided on them fairly quickly, a young runaway who catches stars as souvenirs.
The environment was inspired by the suspended rocks in Hoggar (Algerian Sahara), along with a lot of the Sahara desert, as well as some deserts in Spain. The character was inspired by steampunk atmospheres, along with Arrietty and the game Spiritfarer.
The second part of the project are the previous researches and works for the same project, seeing as my teacher requested some changes on the character's look, specifically on the contrast, and the uniformity of the outfit, and the presence of the environment.
