Satarria is a hidden world found on a newly discovered island. I created the concept art with the idea of this being centered around a video game. I wanted to focus more on creating environmental concept art as I wanted this to expand my portfolio in the hopes that I can get an internship into concept art for video games. Three of the main areas that the “game” will take place in are: the cave, the portal, and Satarria. I also decided to add in a creature concept/character sheet along with silhouettes of what the newly discovered island would look like.
The Island
I wanted to add images of what the island might look like and where this hidden world would be located. I didn't want to focus too much on this part of the project as I just wanted to focus on the world itself.
The Cave
These are just some preliminary sketches of a cave that I did. The idea behind the cave is that this would be entrance of where the portal to Satarria would be located.
This is the first illustration that I did in full color and the image below is a more panoramic view of the cave entrance.
Creature Concept
I specifically started looking at images of the leafy sea dragon and decided that the environment that this creature would be located in would be a kept forrest.
This is the final illustration of the sea creature. I used similar concepts that the leafy sea dragon had and kind of merged it with a oversized sea otter.
The Portal
These are the preliminary sketches and thumbnails of how the composition of the portal would look like.
While drawing up the sketches, I also decided to do a quick colored sketch just to get an idea of how I wanted the colors to work and just the overall color palette. The image below is the final illustration on the portal.
Satarria
These are the thumbnails of Satarria that I really liked the composition of, and the image below is that final illustration of Satarria.
