First up is a "three-quarter" view of the palace layout, situated on its cliff with the road leading down to the harbor. I also did a revised design for emperor Taurun, taking the suggestion of emphasizing the bird theme and designing a mask for him based off a large bird skull.
Next, some uniform design for the royal guards (and scribbly notes that may or may not be too messy to read). Royal guards are not the same as military soldiers, in fact, Taurun hand-picks sons of families in his kingdom who are affected less by the war, in order to promote loyalty and a friendly, warm environment for the home of his family.
Next up on the "places of interest" list is a brothel in the neighboring country of Mocor (under imperical control) called Adyti (latin root sanctuary). This is a preliminary sketch of Akale, the owner and maternal matron of Adyti, and foster mother to one of the focal characters in the story. Like with the last design, there will probably be some revision made before I finalize her looks and accessories.
Lastly is a rough sketch of the same kind of "three quarter" view of Adyti itself, which is on a hill surrounded by cliffs and trees, and a very basic floorplan illustrating the layout of the building.
I'm so long-winded, I'm sorry! I'm also sorry for this post coming in late. Time to go and give commentary!
