Castles of the Four Suits(4)

  • A monumental multi-tiered stone tower seen from below, its circular tiers ringed with barred arched openings and a cage-like cupola at the top burning with a bright blue beacon. High curved stone walls enclose a prison courtyard of dark rubble and snow drifts, while a blizzard drives diagonal snow squalls across a cloud-choked sky.

High curved stone walls enclose a prison courtyard of dark rubble and snow drifts, while a blizzard drives diagonal snow squalls across a cloud-choked sky.

  • A towering medieval keep drawn from a dramatic low angle, with crenelated watchtowers braced in timber and two great snout-like cannons on the walls spitting crackling violet energy. Streaks of cyan lightning arc from the turret tops and the clouds swirl into a vortex behind the tallest tower.

  • An ancient tiered stone fountain in a sunlit ruin: water falls from an opening between two moss-covered pillars into an elevated basin, then spills into a larger circular pool of clear glowing water below. Curved tree trunks and sprawling vines frame the glade in warm sandstone, green moss and turquoise water.

Curved tree trunks and sprawling vines frame the glade in warm sandstone, green moss and turquoise water.

  • A colossal ring-shaped stone facility seen from directly above: massive pillar-towers surround an open circular platform that drops into a dark central abyss. Below, a dim night city spreads across street grids and harbour waterways, its lights and the tower strips glowing warm amber against cold grey stone.

Tuya — Character Design(4)

  • A design sheet of fifty numbered full-body thumbnails of a nomadic warrior called Tuya, arranged in a grid on a slate-blue page under a red 'TUYA' banner. Each figure is drawn in black ink with white fills, trying out different swords, recurve bows, daggers, spears, fur-trimmed winter coats and a hunting bird.
