Luna Dieum: Concept Art, Creation Progress

Luna Dieum, Concept Painting

So I figured today I should show some of the work I've been doing behind the scenes with the time I have, and show you some of the design-work that has gone into this design, some of the idea's that we've had, and how I've gone about creating/generating ideas.

So this started way back in 2019, before Covid-19 was a thing, I asked Rachael if she wanted to work on a 3D project to bring an idea from concept to creation. The reason for this being is getting into the industry is difficult enough as it is, so I figured I might as well carve my own path into the industry, and this is the main way we're attempting to do it.

Now without divulging too much, the project we decide to work on was to design and create a creature based on the moon, which later turned into a dragon on the moon named "The Luna Dieum".

So far here is all of the paper sketches I've done, just keep in mind I've been trying to re-teach myself how to draw, so some of the earlier design will look considerably worse than my later sketches.

I figured starting with the dragons head would give me an idea for what the rest of the creature would be like, giving me a place to build the rest of the creature from.

So after doing all of these sketches, I decided to make a decision to push the project forward, and painted what is probably the closest thing to a final design as I could.

So this is the main design piece in the project right now, I'm currently working out smaller details for the body, but I'll explain this in another post. Hope you enjoyed this post, and expect more soon!
