Jowybean shenanigans 28/7/16

These are some concept Digital paintings I made for two rivalling kingdoms within my fantasy universe I nickname  the Jowyverse for now ;). 

The Playland kingdom (left) and the Iron Metal kingdom (right). (Might change the name at some point ^^;

These to images took a lot longer then I expected because I wanted to get a certain atmosphere and tone down for each place , create a sense of 3D to both worlds.  

Now for some backstory :)

Playland Kingdom

A nation made of toys Music and juicy fruit theres "almost" never a dull moment here and the demeanor among the citizens is usually very jolly and upbeat. for centuries The kingdom has continued to speared imagination and happiness to the world by making products based on its heritage and culture . However despite its positive impact and innocent facade there are some areas that they wish to keep a secret from everyone.  

Guntopia 

Iron Metal kingdom is home to an non organic race known as the Iron Spawn who once terrorised the world by trying to consume it. Over the decades this threat has dwindled in numbers and its cities once shrines to their power are all but gone, expect for one Guntopia. Guntopia is a gambling and crime paradise that sits under the mountains of weapons carried by pervious kings /Queens in to battle, They are seen as a sign of greatness for the evil kingdom and its the only notion of pride they have left. It is nicknamed  the Armageddon flower because It stands as a symbol of fear to the rest of the world. "One day we will rise and conquer all ,and we will start with the Playland kingdom . 

Not sure when Next i do a concept painting for another section of my world but I hope its soon Its very exciting to see ones fantasy World come to life through art.

Welcome to the Jowyverse 3/8/16

Back in my imaginary world of the jowyverse 

World map 

 these two speed paintings of Bog City and The Accident Lava Jam Temple.

time: 15 hours

Bog City

The dreary capital of the Ghastly county region, a vast land of swamps swarming with monsters and supernatural goings on.

The cities most designative features are its long series of canals that run through the surrounding jungles, and its downtown area designed too look like an old steam boat that used to sail on the nearby river. The city also plays hosts to swamp related sports and a lot of private clubs.

Inspiration: New Orleans , Voodoo Vince and the canals of England. 

Lava Jam Temple ruins

thousands of years ago The lands to the north were known as the produce lands This was because this was the realm where food grew in abundance and was the birth place of the concept of breakfast smile emoticon. The oldest civilization was the toast kingdom, They worshiped the very food they harvested and made. Believing this was a gift from the gods They built many different shrines to honour them.The most iconic landmark was the sacred Lava Jam Temple overflowing with the earths core that in this part of the world had the substance of jam, which is how the temple got its name. Over the decades the land started to dry up and the Toast kingdom declined in size leaving many of its monuments to crumble and be left to the elements. The temple still stands to this day but it is a death trap of difficult to navigate corridors and sink holes.

Inspiration: Rayman 2 The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire, Jam and ancient ruins.
