FMP sketching

So after getting on my pc and going around the net a bit I was looking through about what I could find to do with my fmp and came up with a lot of great reference pictures to do with persian clothing. Not as many as I'd hoped but to be honest I should be thankful I found anything at all. So with my references in hand I silhouetted 12 different figures that I'd use for the hero of my story.

I've also looked a bit at Seahorses after realising my initial monster design looked like one and theyre quite interesting, just a bit thin and weedy for my liking and I'm not sure a tail that curls in front would be a great idea for my monster.

Also lead onto doing a little pied piper character who controls the main monster with his left arm a violin, and right arm, a bow. He will be dressed in persian dress as well to make him seem more like an Imp or a vengeful persian spirit coming back to exact his revenge. Of course he is really trivial and can be left until the end or just as a side project.

I got around to doing a speedpaint of what I wanted things to look like and having a look at colours to use which is mostly in the browns, oranges and yellows.

Finally all my reading brought me around to One Thousand and One Nights that I'll be looking for in the library on Wednesday as from what I garnered it's full of great tales that would no doubt feed my mind if not only for my FMP but forever.  Not to say I haven't heard of it before as everyone has heard of Aladdin, Ali Baba and Sinbad.
