Chew explorations

A bust illustration of Chew embracing Yara from behind.

Screencap of a text that reads: 'The first times they’ve touched were robbed of her. She was either unconscious or under throbbing pain, collecting thoughts and suppressing screeches. With healing came more headspace, clarity. Yara noted the tailor’s hands would not wander, but linger. Be it when asking about her nights, or when passing her a butter knife. She left her gestures wander — brushed his elbow as they went through the same door; carried his tools tightly, against her body. Morthwyl was repairing and modifying garments for her to wear and she noticed that he’d go through the same seam once, twice, thrice. Reinforced layers of quality thread made not for a disposable outfit, but a lifetime of wear. When he adjusted those, was he thinking of her? Was he asking her to stay?'

Chew accidentally cuts his hand

Yara comes to help, forgets that the sight of blood may trigger her curse

Chew is afraid (but also… charmed)

#ChewAndYara #Art #Sketches

Full-body illustration of an artisan wearing a brown leather apron. He holds an unfinished ornate metal gate and has short, curly dark hair and wears round glasses.

Gif comparing versions of his face with sweat, acne, with and without glasses. I imagine he's always sweaty and stressed, and brought this to the design with some acne scars. Also wanted to add 'human', 'real-world' touches to the face.

Chew / facial features as a gif

Morthwyl (Chew) tries to live a disciplined entrepreneur life but things don't often go as planned.

The iron gate says a bit about his personality — more defensive than offensive, but has mean ornate spikes when needed.

Drawing of a red snake with sepia-colored scales and bright, molten-lava orange innards. The creature curls and twists around itself, and the tail erupts in flames.

Boitatá watches by weaving itself onto the land and skies, like a thread. The attentive traveler may notice its ghost-red or white-hot scales behind clouds or underwater

mba'etatá (Old Tupi for 'fire snake') was my fav Brazilian creature when I was a kid

Illustration of a woman wearing a long tunic and cape that reaches her ankles. Her attire is earthy-toned. She is shooting upwards from a light blue spectral bow that floats on top of her head.

Yara

Trained in a guild in which she masters a ghost weapon technique. Works by escorting merchants, pilgrims and all sorts of colorful people through the woods.

Chew's forge and workshop. I wanted the architecture to embellish the characters and their routine, like frames.

I call this project 'Butterflies' but for nicer, relevant tagging I'll use the main characters' names #ChewAndYara #conceptart #blacksmithForge #art

Borborema Palace loose exploration

Borborema means 'wasteland, empty place' in Tupi.

'Boitata leads a man into a bog'

Zahhak attacks Yara. A great fire snake takes pity on her and leads Chew towards the slain woman.

A keyframe from my fantasy worldbuilding project #butterflies — a mix of Latin America and Middle-East nature & cultures
