Initial Sketches: Dosa Tiger
The first of the tiger species I have created is inspired by the Dosa (Spirit Guide) from Korean Mythology.
"The Dosa Tiger is an ancient and wise species. They are so old that they have no fur. They create stripes by ancient body modification techniques creating unique patterns of scarring on their skin. They have a shuffling walk on their hind legs and use a wooden staff to aid their movement. Some very ancient Dosa Tigers have plate fungi growing around their chest."
I need to do some extra drawings to finalize their overall anatomy.
Environment Style Inspiration
Above are my initial thoughts on the mood and style of the world I will be building. I have taken inspiration from fantasy animations such as How to Train Your Dragon (2010) and Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011). Also, the work of Kazuo Oga is extremely inspiring. He is the background artist for Studio Ghibli.
The mood and style I would like to capture is that of a sense of calm and a sense of warmth. The images above all capture the sunlight in a beautiful way. There is also a colour palette based mainly around green. There are areas of orange where the sunlight is strongest and cool pinks to represent shade.
