Tales of Tilvera…

is a narratively driven world building book I made for my 2024 Senior Thesis. From the perspective of the protagonist David Eyvindsbur, we explore the world of Tilvera as he travels from country to country, learning about the history, culture, and people.

Visual Development of the different countries of Tilvera

Starting with Fifai, both the country I worked on the most, and the country that didn’t make it into the final Thesis book.

Character Design for the different people of Tilvera

I wanted the protagonist of the story to exude naivety- with an energetic attitude and a sassy streak. To help with consistency- I 3D modeled his face in Blender as a reference.
