getting lost in extreme detail. Tea ceremonies where every tiny movement is considered with care. One moment rushing through a winding boulevard, the next pausing to sniff the air and feel the breeze and be present in the moment. There is push and pull to each of these cultures, and ultimately
Cheers, and thank you for the read-through.
The cultural rules are effectively coopted versions of the traumatic responses each kind represents. The little Mugi for example, given their short lives and metaphoric perfectionist obsession, have a cultural dichotomy blending being rushed while also
Thank you for saying so. I think we're all finding ourselves in a state of healing, one way or another. The catastrophe is referred to as the 'Rupture'. The veins of the planet, herself a living being, split and the ethereal lifeblood which was the source of all magic began spilling across the land.
thank you for your interest; I've started development with people-first, and can work backwards from there. high fantasy charm remains my throughline for vibes. I want the world to speak to you, but also give you space to want to come dwell in it
im being needlessly pedantic in my descriptions but read 'kind' as 'species'; for the purpose of design i've developed various rpg classes specific to each kind to solidify their theming and across these each individual kind (species) shares a leitmotif. Lapina in sarongs/lei/tattoos/etc
i'm not planning on being very close-fisted. artist interpretation is the most valuable tool to collaboration. the only vision of mine I'm trying to get across is 'high fantasy charm'. its gotta look like a place you'd want to dwell in. people you'd want to meet.
The character designs themselves I think would be most effective if they -hinted- at the kind-wide throughline; ie all 'hellions' are guaranteed to look somewhat manic. The trauma response isn't necessarily front and center, but more informs behaviors, which informs presentation <3
Not looking for someone to execute a brief. Looking for someone who reads this and has instincts they want to bring to it. Full pitch + the six kinds here:

If this world speaks to you, I'd love to talk.

Touchstone is Akihiko Yoshida's FFTA / FFXII / Bravely Default work. Draftsmanship-forward. Muted palettes. Every species carrying its worldbuilding in the silhouette. Charming without childish. Welcoming without desperate. Every kind treated with equal dignity.
Solo creator looking for a concept artist to help shape the visual language of Veil & Venture, a fantasy world in the aftermath of a magical catastrophe. Six playable kinds, each a civilization-wide response to trauma. Long-term collaboration, indie budget, serious intent.
Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.
