Worldbuilding and character design for Mountains of Yun, a fantasy world I’m building, plus three standalone paintings.

Mountains of Yun

In this world, demons began as a single race in the mountains and split into hundreds of tribes during the time of dragons. After long wars over land, food and water, the tribes drifted apart and grew into separate races, each with its own magic and technology.

I painted the map and designed characters from its tribes, like Song Lu: a tribe leader’s daughter from the Inios tribe, travelling as a minstrel on a pilgrimage.
