Project Brief
In the desolate world of “Tears of Sand,” three pivotal characters and their surroundings emerge amidst the ruins of a once-glorious civilization. Anja, the teenage protagonist, is a defiant young warrior clad in a mix of salvaged, sand-scorched armor and rugged fabric, her eyes fierce with determination as she wields a crafted spear. Her antagonist, Arianne, the tyrannical female ruler, exudes an aura of menace with her ornate, gold-trimmed armor , her commanding presence amplified by her cold, calculating gaze. Borothir, the conniving hunchback court minister, is draped in opulent, yet tattered robes, his cunning eyes glinting with malevolent schemes as he barely survives through a life support system. Harron, the insectoid desert warlord, is a formidable creature with an exoskeleton of chitinous armor and a pair of powerful, insect-like mandibles, his presence marked by an aura of primal strength and savagery. Anja’s home is a modest, yet resilient refuge, built into the side of a towering dune and fortified with salvaged debris and weathered wood, offering a rare glimpse of safety amid the harsh landscape. Her personal room is a small, cluttered space with walls lined by makeshift shelves holding personal mementos and tools, a solitary window offering a view of the relentless sandstorm that shapes her world.
