After doing a set of exercises with Josh involving, speed painting and character development I decided I needed to do some studies while working on the story concept I’ve been developing. So to help me develop the characters that will surround my main story I began the first in a series of silhouette studies. This particular set is designed to explore different divisions of the standing armed forces for the City of Fis, a major location in the Story. The goal of these studies is to find ways to create visual consistency across all the characters because they are in the same army. Visual consistency for each group of characters that also differentiates them from the other groups. And of course, develop each characters individuality while still having them stand out of there group.
The Alchemists Guild
This is a section of the military that is in charge of research and development of energy sources based on the metals and minerals found in the Sol’Ashe’ world.
The White Hand
A small group of wizards who are relatively powerful and are mainly advisers. They only will participate in battles during War or in times of desperation.
The Fisian Guard
The main guard of the City of Fis consisting mainly of Humans because the native Dwarfs of Fis have their own divisions.
The Black Hand
A group of mages that make up the magical element of the fighting force of Fis.
The Tinkers Guild
Working closely with the Alchemist Guild, the tinkerers implement and develop technology based on the alchemists’ work.
The Sisters Blood
The Female fighting force of the Native dwarfs of Fis. This force also includes The Veiled Sallie. A group of women who are the executioners of the Fisian realm.
The Brothers Stone
The male fighting force of the native dwarfs of fis. Extremely well trained to fight as a unit, they are typically not as strong at one on one combat.
