ABOUT
A Visual development and character deisgn project for an original animation movie based on "The story of the city of brass". A short story which is a part of the ancient arabic folk tale "A thousand and one nights".
The project includes the development of a unique visual style for the film as well as character designs and concept art of three key moments from the story.
DESIGN
When developing the concept my goal was to combine the asthetic of 16th centuary ottoman empire ships, attire and architecture with the asthetic of ancient machines operating on cogs and gears. The inspiration for the art style came from several sources, the modernist style of Samurai Jack , the hard edges of Hellboy and the color approach of Nicholas Roerich.
