Stonearm Design Exploration

Stonearm Turen is one of the main characters in an original story. She is a deep gnome who lives under the surface of her world. In addition to her standard outfit, she received designs for her teen years.

Her tattoos represent different moments and people in her life, and have been added to as the story continues. The asymmetrical design of her outfit both establishes her feelings about the curse that is slowing turning her to stone, and gives her her name, and helps depict her as a punk, rebellious character in a standard fantasy setting. 

In order to establish what was the most important about her design, I simplified her into a cleaner, cartoon version for use in sketches and animation.

As part of her tattoo design, I created a full Gnomish alphabet using the Forgotten Realms Gnomish (as pusblished in "The Shackled City Adventure Path") as a base.
