One of the natives from the White Forest. Simply done with a red Bic pen on Recycled paper. Earlier versions of this animal had more "worms" on their faces and larger eyes. They are controled via the implant in their foreheads.

I would like to develope their story a bit mor in the future.

Sea-side

This little guy is one of the concepts for Cortez' home town. I liked the idea of him growing up as a fisher and sea-goer, I think that it help understand him a sky captain many years later. I also like the opposites of fire and water, with Cortez being an arsonist in his younger years before he was recruited by the Royal Navy.
