Sketching the Birrin City
Added 2016-03-31 16:40:50 +0000 UTCWork has begun on the urban life of the birrin, and these (very) initial sketches give some idea of where I would like to go.
A: An old sketch for a never-completed image of the birrin 'whaling' industry, and one I hope to complete some day. I want to include it here as it forms the early inspiration - the birrin are carnivores and love their food, so I wish to depict that aspect of their lives in the city.
BCD: Much of my research was of African and middle eastern cities, particularly their open markets and town squares. I am exploring the idea of a square showing birrin daily life at the forefront, with their city in the back. The giant statue is taken from my older Kaybor Gate image, now a furnace for this cities' rather unusual funerary practices!
