The Monster in Chains - [School Project]

(Made between December 2021 and January 2022)

Nelio is a catperson who travels across different worlds and universes, looking for more knowledge and stories to share. He stumbles onto Eran, a half snake half humanoid gigantic creature, whose world once had been invaded by humans who used him and his people as a source of strength for heavy work. Eran is the last survivor, as far as he knows, and he broke free some time ago, but time on your own gets lonely with time.
The characters themselves were inspired by ones from a webserie, Sanders Sides (TSS), and the original characters (Virgil and Remus) belong to Thomas Sanders and his team. I do want to give credits, although the story and the actual designs themselves are by me, it wouldn't be fair not to state that.

This assignment was big/small, the same as one of our environmental art assignments, although I didn't go with the same ideas for the two. The idea was to have one inspired by older things, such as older legends, and the other by a much more recent idea, more present in the current society, while also having this inversion of roles, where the cat is usually the bigger one, but ends up all small next to the snake in this case. The outfit for Nelio is heavily inspired by Star Wars, so as to remind people of the traveling and fantasy aspect of things, while sticking to an explorer of the universe. The outfit for Eran is more based on Ancient Greece and Egypt, with jewels and ample clothings, in a way to call back onto the older beliefs aspect.
