I’m currently working on a story that discusses tropes that otome isekais have. And one of those tropes is the mystic force/characters that seem to power everything. They are usually gods or spirits, but I opted to call them fairies instead. This is some of the concept art for them.

The two themes that I decided on were ‘masks’ and for them to have the name of a Greek or Norse god. But they aren’t actually supposed to be them as seen with Demeter being male and Apollon being female.

In the first image, only Tyr had a design planned out before. Everyone else was just me working off whatever popped up in my head. In the second, that is me deciding what their full bodies should look like.

I tried to use colored line art since I thought that it would help with the inhuman feeling. What do y’all think?

This first is the newest one. The second is the first digital render. The third is the completed sketch that I put into csp to render. And the last is the first full body sketch that I did.

The two last ones were done only a couple weeks apart and the digital ones were done a few months apart.

I love mermaids and mermen and am sad that there are so few stories that have them as the main characters. And if they do, then they lose the tail. I can understand that it is because it’s hard to have the characters travel on land, so I gave him the extra arms so that he’s still visually interesting and can still travel. Albeit in a rather odd way. Oh, and the girl in the last image is his love interest. I’m still deciding on her full body design.
