Character Design of Nostra 8, for the SEEDS Project (canceled project, Lightbulb Crew)
"SEEDS" was meant to be a JRPG with a touch of rogue-lite, in a universe that mixed Giger/Nihei inspirations with classic dark fantasy, all in organic armor and titanic monsters - we called this art style "Giger Fantasy" between us!
Nostra 8 was born on the HX9916 floor of the Umbilical Tower. Unlike her two acolytes, she is not a revenant from a bygone past, but a pure creation of the biological evolution of the Tower's ecosystem. Despite her humanoid looks, she is closer to a primal beast than a woman : her overpowerful fists are capable of splitting the chitin of the most terrible creatures, and her whip-tail is a deadly caudal appendage.
Nostra 8 masters the "flesh-blinking" technic : a quick dash teleportation that ravages and rebuild her corporal envelop on short distances, in a whirlwind of blood, flesh and bones.
I will post several elements of this pre-production, as well as the evolution it has undergone over the months!
Hoping that it will inspire you with great adventures and twisted, tormented, tortured worlds…
A huge thank you to the team who accompanied me during this (too short) epic at the time: you were and still are rock stars!
