The Last Spelldrake of Saskatchewan – Concept art

The feature film I began developing years ago is starting to pick up steam again. 

The film is still a long way off from going into production but I have received some funding to once again begin work on it. 

Here is some concept art I have been making to help bring the characters to life. 

Here is a poster made from a still of the first attempt I made at bringing this world to life through video.

Calvert Wander is one of the main characters, seen here gazing at the cabin in the clouds: the home of the Great Holys (the gods of this word).

He is playing a hand-crank record player which is his means of communicating since he is mute.

Sareth is a reclusive Spelldrake sitting on top of her sod house.

Next is an illustration of a Hexhob.  He is a Spelldrake gone bad due to an infection of The Sick which is a disease that covers the land and all it touches with black, root-like hair.

Below is a portrait of the Maid of Grasses (Acrylic, gouache, watercolour pencil) the daughter of the Great Holys.  In this story she is the one who created all living things including humans.

Keel Fishsimmons is the river warden.  He is a holy: a small immortal creature charged with managing the natural resources of a small, particular area.

Starla is the daughter of Calvert. She rides John Handy, the metal man made of old tractor parts.

A Whatbeast is an animal infected with The Sick, and the Grimneighbour is an infected human.

The Colossus is the embodiment of the infection known as The Sick.
