Keeper of Myth

Some work I did for the Keeper of Myth Project for class...I really enjoyed this project. We were to design a trainer with a significant prop, and a mythological creature, trying to make the trainer's design or attire specific to the creature that he/she is training. I ended up using the two character designs at the top for the trainer and the mythological creature, the Menehune (from Polynesian mythology). The trainer's attire is reminiscent of Paupeuo the owl god, who is feared by the Menehune...attached around her ankles are bunches of bananas, the Menehune's favorite food - she uses them to award and tempt the nocturnal, hill dwelling creatures. She uses her prop, an ancient instrument, to call for them in hopes that she can train the creatures to protect her village. Lastly, some ideations. Currently working out a piece to show the two characters' relationship to each other. That's all for now. Enjoy!
