I needed to create a concept with no background in the idea. I spoke out loud during a presentation at a meetup event. I realized I was lowering my standard by not writing a concept short for the illustration I was to draw.

Below, I left you the concept write-up and a YouTube short. The video is 30 seconds long, and the reading is exciting, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Village Of Cantor

Once upon a time, a boy appeared in a scene where he ended up in front of a broken-up walled castle. He flew in via Crayaw—a distinct creation found in the depths of Zupa. 

Upon first sight of his landing, he noted a view of the castle from a hill. He saw farmland being worked by the village people of Cantor. The village mainly smelled of horses and pigs. He thought to himself as his stomach became hungry. He should come down and explore the estate. 

While approaching the castle gates, he is greeted by two large guards holding spears of light. He comes closer with his hands open so as not to alarm the guards but to show loving-kindness and safe passage.

The Village of Zupa in the Cantor region was brought to you by the Imaginative Illustrators of NYC. We are an artistic bunch meeting over Zoom to create art pieces while chit-chatting.
