Untamed: WARTW Character Design Challenge

Here is my submission for the Untamed Challenge, couldn't finish it, I think I lost steam to complete it.

Since I had been going back and playing Golden Age JRPGs (Romancing Saga Minstrel Song, Wild Arms 5, Radiata Stories and others) it definitely inspired my designs and process. Also amd most importantly, Japanese Character Designers such as Nobuteru Yuki, Yusuke Naora, Tatsuya Yoshikawa, Tomomi Kobayashi, and Kosuke Fujishima were my main points of reference in this. I hope some of yu Google them, very cool stuff I PROMISE

So the premise of this is kind of a story of discovery, these inhabitants are barely starting to access that sense of wanderlust we all experience as human beings. Through their journey they uncover just how diverse the world is, and the conflicts that happen in it. This group then discovers that their world was created by humans who destroyed themselves and the world, but left a primordial soup in the wake of all the destruction that accelerated the mutations and subsequent evolution in the animals of the world before. Sort of like a hyper corporate vs eco terrorist type of ultra war, and the eco terrorist succeed in turning all of us into soup lol. Hyper Corporates had already destroyed and pillaged most of our resources so there wasn’t really any good outcome in the end. Now these new beings have a clean slate, but there are still negative aspects of the past that are creeping into the new world. I wish I had more time to flesh out this story, cuz I kinda liked it TBH lol 😅 I wanted to connect more threads to the human world, there are direct connections through my gigantic beasts and my sluggy ghost character. ANOTHER twist would be upon discovering human technology it would lead to the Beyond Human Challenge from way back *sigh*
