CHORASAN: Nipul
Final design of Nipul.
Various sketches defining gesture and personality, with focus on light, worn clothes.
Chorasan is a worldbuilding project I worked on together with Amir Khan Dj. Afschar for our Bachelor Thesis. You can check out his work here: https://adja.artstation.com/ . It is the vision of a future where our old world has perished and a new dystopia has emerged from its remains. Centered around the region of former Mesopotamia, the people of this new world need to go back to their roots, to the cradle of cultures, the Orient. Our main goal for this project was to experiment with merging oriental aesthetics with a science fiction theme.
Nipul is the leader of a gang of thieves in the floating city of Asan. Shrewd and clever, he mostly relies on his wit and not on technology to carry out his operations. He helps main character Katayoun break into the high-security tract of the Asan prison to rescue Rahi the Seeker.
