theme idea:

the land of Corinthe was inhabited by farmers and craftsmen. The villagers have lost touched with the high end technology that the settlers had when they travelled to this planet from Erithnea more than 5 centuries before, due to the dying of that planet from the excessive usage of the natural resources and the overwhelming destruction from war and technology. The occupants of Corinthe had lived for 3 centuries without war, in a time of peace, until the day the Plegians invaded trying to find a new planet to inhabit.
Lacking in weapons and strong technology, the Corinthes were overthrown in a fierce, surprising attack.

image idea 1:
I want to capture the moment the ships invaded catching the villagers unaware while they were going about their daily chores. (the Corinthes still have technology such as machines to help them in their chores but they re old and wornout)

image idea 2:
an uprising from rebels overthrowing a labor camp setup by the Plegians.

gonna work on sketches now, any feedback on these ideas would be very helpful and appreciated.

roughed out idea for the image layout

not final design on the ships or objects in scene

#4

an idea for the look of the villagers

#5

an idea for the alien world beasts of burden , it will be pulling some sort of plow, I am still designing it

#6

Great character design.

The “flying saucers” in the upper right corner,… well they look like flying saucers. Are you plaining something differnt, or are you going to try a variation of the arial frying pan???

I like how the “clouds” wrap around the UFO’s. I was thinking of doing something similar but then realized it wouldnt be so easy as I imagined.

Well good luck, great start.

#7

I still need to do designs for the spaceships, just put in the big frisbee flying saucers for placeholder until i have time to work on the ships.

good luck to you as well.
