Exploratory thumbnails for my uni project Spore:Divine Decay from back in late 2021. It follows the story of a young boy from an underground, church-led society of mushroom people who worship a pope-like figure known as the Voice of the Spore.
The purpose of these thumbnails was to push silhouette, and establish a fashion for the underground society, getting a feel for what everyday people might look like in it. Primary inspirations were catholic vestments, and (loosely) 14th century italian fashion.
