Ophidian Throne: A Peek into the White City

Concept art for The Ophidian Throne, a Fantasy motion-webcomic.

One of the toughest challenges for this project was to concrete a design for the city. The aesthetic, a mixture of Pre-Hispanic cultures with ancient Arabic, was a more complicated marriage in terms of architecture. As though both are geometric, some combinations might produce jarring results because of the contrast of the more modern, curvy Arabic structures on the tough-edged pre-columbine façades. Though this will require further exploration, I am content with the direction it went in.
