Illustration Design Brief
The project consists on 3 medieval/fantasy images from the same artist with PSD files needed, layers are important for us.
THE KINGDOM
Description: Display a fairly wealthy kingdom with a majestic pointy tower on the upper right corner of the canvas. The tower has blue phantasmagoric flames surrounding it. We can see castles, houses, tents, and/or markets or outposts with flags, roads and people on it. Let us see some of the background sky and landscape. However, there's this huge dragon shadow visible over the kingdom that is heading toward the tower.
MOOD: Overwhelming (Because of both, the tower and the shadow of the dragon flying above).
Obligatory layers:
1)Sky without the landscape (mountains, trees or else)
2) Clouds and sun (if any).
3) The kingdom itself.
4) The Dragon's shade.
THE PEOPLE
Description: Let us see the reaction of the people. They are worried. The background may have burned houses. We can see several commoners of the townsfolk. But on the front rows we need to see some of the following:
An alchemist, a blacksmith, an old man, some royal people like courtesans or bureaucrats, a trader, a person who clearly breeds animals. Choose any you like but include at least 4 of them. These characters must have a worried face but also a determined face on another layer. Behind we see more people running away, the majority of the people must be escaping except for the 4 to 6 characters mentioned above.
MOOD: Most people is scared, some will do something about it.
Obligatory layers:
1) Fire of the burning buildings (if any)
2) people (commoners and other characters)
3a) the worried face of the characters(at least eyebrows and mouth)
3b) the determined face of the characters (at least eyebrows and mouth).
THE CONFLICT
Description: In the bottom left corner we see a warrior (male or female) and his companion, on the upper right corner we see the dragon grappling in the tower which is undamaged. The warrior in front of us has some cool equipment, feel free to create. We see him/her at 45° of his back. In addition to his/her equipment (cloaks, armor, helmet, gauntlets, boots, etc.) we see a very strange and cool weapon on his/her hand(s) and an animal companion or mount. (May be a dire bear, a griffin, a dinosaur, a wolf, a rhino, any imponent beast). The dragon is breathing fire on a near building while clamping firmly to the tower. He doesn't damage the tower nor the tower flames damage the dragon.
MOOD: A great battle is about to develop.
Obligatory layers:
1) The scene
2) All the fire (In the building, the fire breath, and the blue flames of the tower).
3) The cloak of the warrior (If any).
Freestyle, but the images must be consistent between them in style and in content. (The dragon shadow and the tower must be the same on illustration 1 and 3).
An uploaded file with sketches and the important notes has been included.
Updates
Project Deadline Extended Reason: The project is vast. In order for designers to have better chances to finish all illustrations, we are open to see all sketches and give feedback during the same day they are submitted. In that way, you can save time before proceeding to the coloring, shading, and any other process you want and need to make, because the sketch will already be approved. We are open minded in terms of each personal style as long as the 'mood and feel' of the illustrations are the same between them, making them consistent.Early submitted designs have advantage in matter of time and hence, in the possibility to win. Kind regards and design with passion! ;) Added Thursday, April 30, 2015

Requirements
Must have
- AFTER READING THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION, PLEASE WATCH THE ATTACHED FILE ON THE BRIEF FOR A CLEARER IDEA.
- Epicness. The overall mood of the 3 illustrations must feel legendary.
- Originality/Personal touch. The warrior's gear and companion is free for you to design.
- The tower on the illustrations must be humongous or at least feel the viewer with amusement. Surrounding flames or any other mystical aura is required for the tower. The same tower must be seen in both, the 1st and the 3rd illustration. Take care of the projection of the dragon's shadow in relation with the sun position and the scale you choose.
Nice to have
- AFTER READING THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION, PLEASE WATCH THE ATTACHED FILE ON THE BRIEF FOR A CLEARER IDEA.
- 1st illustration: Flags or banners on some buildings. Villager's and horse's silhouettes. The tower may have the ghastly flames in a spiral surrounding it, but feel free to suggest or add any other mystic aura.
- 2nd illustration: Different and peculiar faces for the non-commoners.
- 3rd illustration: Buildings being destroyed by the dragon. The dragon's head doesn't need to be facing toward the warrior, but neither to the sides. Facing toward the viewer can work fine. Unusual equipment/weapon/companion or mount for the warrior, maybe a layer that only comprises a waving cloak.
Should not have
- Anything that is clearly taken from another fantasy story. Avoid choosing a horse as the warrior's mount/companion and typical weapons for him or her.
