While I'm still working out the best way to share videos with you all, here's a little behind the scenes look at the Goblin underpainting tests I did for Dangvingäsh - The Goblin Dictionary, and the trials for the Elvan Planitis runes.
To create a wide range of Goblin characters, from Artist to Yardmaster, I spent time compiling features (mostly ears and noses!), clothing, hairstyles, etc. I then drew these aspects in different combinations, until I ended up with a character I was happy with. These sketches were then underpainted and layered digitally.
To create the Planítis runes, I worked with combinations of lines, circles and dots, each mark representing an aspect of Astronomy, such as orbits, asteroids, moons, horizon lines, etc. Of course, each rune has its own use and meaning too, as well as a specific casting direction based on compass points, should you wish to use them for Divination...
Copies of Dangvingäsh and Læraryna will be shipping from next week! Hooray!
