NeverEnding Story: Engywok's Home

These have been done for QUITE some time now and I just completely keep forgetting to post them. (sorry Chris haha) So without further ado here's some of the stuff I did for Rodney Fuentebella's Environment Design Class over at Concept Design Academy in Pasadena.

Quick explanation: These were designed to be Engywok and Urgl's home from the NeverEnding Story. In case you don't remember those characters they're the really small people who lived in a rock, Engywok was the Scientist/Astrologer who knew about the Oracles, and Urgl was the one who made potions and fixed up Atreyu (I still can't believe that's a band name)

Cacti

I'm not sure if these would be considered props or environment studies. Either way here are some cacti studies.

Emperor Facial Expression

I picked an emperor!
Here's the original sketch, him in his underwear, and a couple facial expressions. These were fun!

And here are some environment thumbnails. I was playing around with shapes, values, and squiggles.
