The Beginning of the Creation Myth

here's an illustration from the beginning of the creation myth.

really happy with how this one turned out. :)

And here's some work in progress on the left of the creation myth's character -first woman

. the image on top of this text is what she looked like last year. quite a change! 

the intro animation to the creation myth! all quite inspired also by the time working with N at the planetarium. :)

The New Map of Khoya

So in the last few weeks we were feeling a need to move away from traditional maps such as the maps i've been creating for khoya so far

and find a way of creating a compass/device that expands out into a very steampunk map of khoya.

and here it is! 

below are images of how it changed and morphed over the months. 

starting point of a compass expanding

 becoming into a mandala formation-pretty but not functional

 becoming very iconographic with just an icon for each chapter

which was nice but not detailed enough

To finally deciding to actually sketch out khoya! 

The Final Storyboard for Book1 (save a few missing pages)

The Mountains of Zayakar

the mountains of waste.

Zaya-karna means in hindi 'to waste away'

Young Maya

Maya,

that was a long wait! I've never been as pleased to see an inanimate object. :D
