This was created as part of my mentorship with Constantine Sekeris. My process for this started with a head sketch and built up from there. When it came to costuming/character I wanted something slimy to match the alien’s design. I was torn between club owner and art critic but ended up landing on the art critic.
A native of the planet Velluigawa, Zisqoith Thrid is a member of an amphibious species known as the Vellu. The vellu is an extremely advanced but cut throat species known for their sprawling cities which include subterranean, and aquatic elements that fit their amphibious lifestyle. They are avid capitalists, often resulting in extreme wealth disparity and corporate feudalism.
As an art critic, Zisqoith specializes in Vellu minimalism which is known for it’s black-and-white color palettes and white, geometric linework.
