Tseten & Jinpa - Under The Clouds

First part of my graduation project done at New3dge, trying to do visual development and character design for an hypothetic animation movie called Under The Clouds.

Here I'll be focusing more on the main characters, Tseten and Jinpa, two siblings, as they grow older. It was real challenge for me so I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks a lot for your attention and if you are curious to see more, I'll continue to developp this world on my instagram in the upcoming month. https://www.instagram.com/samuelamarart

Here's the premise :

High up in the sky, above a never ending sea of clouds, lives on majestics and feathering creatures of all sizes. Hunting, preying, flying upon all else. And as Mankind needed their abilities in order to survive, they domesticated them, bonded with each other, wrote them as living legends and myths.
Time passed, and humans, still knowing their place in the food chain, constructed their villages, towns and cities, protected , hidden from predators. Setting aside their desires of exploration and themselves for a quiet life.
Our story takes place in the peaceful village of Lhasa, where Jinpa & Tseten live alongside their mother, Nele. Until one day, when she disappeared with her bird Tara.
