A Demon's Palanquin
🕑 Added 2025-09-11 20:03:00 +0000 UTCAnother concept created for the "In the Liminality" game project, commissioned by my generous patron S. A.
This was a commission for a giant palanquin built to carry one of the chief antagonist demon figures in the game.
Palanquins are these box-shaped litters carried by servants historic India and the East. The commission consisted of a design for the palanquin - as well as the creatures that were supposed to carry it. Here are my initial sketches for the palanquin:
We combined details from the first two sketches to create a final composite.
Final line-art and colour illustration for the palanquin. Looking back, this could have also made a neat stand-alone floating chariot, operated by... magic or anti-gravity I guess.
Then it was time for the "palanquin-bearers". I sketched four different varieties of demons...
Out of these, we picked the two humanoid variants to refine and finalise.
I coloured these too...
Finally I put them together, the bearers, the palanquin and all.
And so ended another neat, detailed commission. Thank you all for your support on Patreon, and beyond!

It's always a pleasure working with you --- and this came out as spectacularly weird and wonderful as I could imagine. I've already been working on translating everything into pixelart for the in-game appearance, so I'll be able to share what I do with this soon as I can :)
