HIGHGUARD - UNA Cinematic

These are some concepts I did for the 2D animation cinematic we were going to have for Una.
One of the coolest things in our store was called "Adventures", these were going to be narrative driven and they were going to be focused on specific characters. The first one was for Una.
Una goes into an adventure to try to find her old ancestor's town to see if there's a clue in that place to save her homeland.
The ancestors are based on an MTX skin we art directed with one of our amazing vendors (Dardo) that you'd obtain in this bundle.
The colors and materials of the Elder Mother are ment to be a bridge between the past and the present.

The style is way more simple, as this shortfilm was going to be in 2D and I wanted to make it as close as posible to direct the animation studio to the right direction.
I created 4 guardians based on the art direction we had on them, a corrupted guardian that the dirge took over centuries ago and the current image of her Elder Mother, which is one of the leaders of her hometown.
