Ongoing character design for my personal fantasy IP.
This Silurian warrior hails from the cold, forested highlands of the Silurian Isle – home to fiercely independent tribes descended from the Almaran people.
Inspired by Celtic and Pictish aesthetics, this character concept explores early Bronze Age design with a focus on ritual symbolism, handcrafted armor, and brutal simplicity.
The square shield (inspired by traditional Pictish forms), maple-leaf spearhead, and boar-themed motifs reflect the Silurian warrior’s hunting culture and connection to animal spirits.
The lore behind this character is deeply rooted in my original worldbuilding project and will continue to expand with community feedback.
More sketches and detailed lore are available on my Patreon – free to read and open for discussion.
