Fate Saga sketch WIPs

For the Fate Saga blog, I am working on rearranging the blog so that it is more welcoming to new viewers, and am creating a buffer of updates so I can start a schedule of 1 update a week. Here are some sketches that I am working on to possibly be completed as future updates.



Collaborative sketch, that I may later complete. Cyrus is drawn by me. The lyger is drawn by Samantha de Graffenried. Only Cyrus wouldn't mind being pinned down by a giant man-eating cat.




Possible sticker and magnet designs for Fate Saga, to be later completed for the upcoming convention season. I like the bottom set more, admittedly. The only ones from the top that I might use are the two bottom left characters, Larkspur and Guile.



This was a quick sketch comic of a possible scene between Cyrus and Guile that I may turn into storyboards and later an animatic, that I drew at the airport during a super long delay.

Fate Saga Animation Bible Character Page Illustrations in Progress

Larkspur


Guile
Rori
Bianca and Lukas




These are some character illustrations for how their character layout pages will be arranged. The most important characters (Cain, Cyrus, Larkspur, Guile and Rori) will have their own pages. Drax/Seiron, Bianca/Lukas and Armand/Vektor will share pages. The rectangle represents the border, which most elements will remain inside but a little bit of each page will stick out. So anything that bleeds over the black rectangle is what is going to stick out of the borders in the final pitch book.

The gibberish text is just a scale reference. The text is actually 10pt font, but looks very small because the book is going to be very large (11x17)

Fate Saga Character Concepts in Progress

Rori, cursed with lycanthropy.


Guile, a few swords short of an armory.



Lukas, the attention seeking alchemist



Bianca, the world's most powerful elemental mage



Armand, whose world is one grant experiment

Mortar, Seiron, Rori and Lukas Head Comparison


Just felt like drawing a side view of my main snouted characters: Mortar (top left), Rori (top right), Seiron (bottom left) and Lukas (bottom right). I wanted to draw their profile views side-by-side to compare their snout and head structures, to make sure none of them look too much alike. One day I'll do a more detailed comparison sheet on how each of their heads and bodies are structured, since they all also have different body types.

Armand Emotive Sketches and a Gift for Tracy

This was a gift for Tracy, as a get well soon present! The little guy is a child version of her character, Veil. The dragon is really just a very dragon-like gargoyle of mine, Seiron. Seiron is huge and powerful, but tender at heart.


And these are some attempts at sketching Armand, the main villain of Fate Saga. He's normally known for his ever-present 'sinister' expression, and he is capable of having more than one expression. XD

Armand Sketches

Armand, the main villain of Fate Saga. For all of his main villain-ness, I hardly ever draw him. Armand is a scientist, and nothing and no one is safe from his experimentations.

Character Test Sketches and RP Sketches

Under his boot, on his left foot Cyrus wears an anklet that was given to him by his older brother when he was a boy. It is Cyrus' most cherished possession. In this sketch, he is passing that tradition by hand-making an anklet and giving it to Rish, who he sees as a little brother.


Character test sketches of Rori. I'm playing around mildly with her design, and am going to try and streamline it a bit for animation. Ultimately, I'm going to take one of her sketches and turn it into a colored illustration for the pitch package. I'm wondering if I should make her more slender/effeminate and I need to play around with her fur, to see where I can smooth it while still giving the impression that she's fluffy.


From the RP, it's the Taffeta family playing Mad Libs. One of the lines says something silly about Gemini, and Cyrus is greatly entertained by word play.


Character test sketches of Larkspur. Her design is already done for the pitch package, but she's also going to get some simple model sheets since she's an animated character in the pilot. Also, for the sake of her voice acting, I wanted to sketch out some examples of her quirkiness and emotions.

Character test sketches of Bianca. She's still being designed, which is why her drawings don't all look the same. Here are some tests for what her face could look like and what her outfit might look like.
