Puzzle Plot Items and Prizes

Description

These are all of the items I drew for the plot (though I feel like I missed some!)

It's basically stuff from all over the place, puzzle room prizes, battling prizes, random stuff you found in the maze, and finally ending prizes.

A couple of references, too. The big green guy and the tunic next to him are references to Shadow of the Colossus (I did Wander's hair as well, but it's not a very interesting item, so I didn't include it here.)

The Manchu statue in the bottom row is a reference to Legends of the Hidden Temple and that monkey statue that tripped everyone up. Originally I was gonna put him in pieces and have you find him in the maze (and then put it together at the GeneTech place) but I didn't get to it in time.

The little dino next to him is a reference to Bix from Dinotopia. I was actually just drawing a regular protoceratops to match the pet, but when it came time to color it, I wasn't sure what to do. And then I remembered Bix!

The blue lizard was drawn while we were still discussing the design of the pet. I figured a reference should be put somewhere, so I drew the little lizard (the original version of the Bhakoru had holes in the crest, but I thought it looked a little too much like a Mahar had his horns fused together.)

Then you've got the wearables. The tattered map is supposed to be Subeta, but it's hard to tell even in full size. The large background map is focused on the Sacred Lands in particular. And I mentioned on the excavation image that I reused those clouds for the sand dune background. Not that I would have minded drawing more clouds! I just liked how those came out.

all of this belongs to subeta.net

So gorgeous; you did most of the prizes I was excited to get (or disappointed to miss!). Your lineart is so clean without being "sharp" and I am super envious of it! You really have a style that just plain works and I wanted to admire it out loud for a moment.

P.S. Even though I only read like three Dinotopia books, I caught the reference to Bix and got all nostalgic and happy.
