Her design is inspired by both an Egyptian Sphinx and a Sphynx cat.
Although she shares a similar ostentation to the Peacocks’, her design is opposing his. Where the latter is concave, the former is convex; Where the slopes of his curves fade softly, her edges stick out.
Distance is a project that I have been concepting for almost two years. I had some design ideas and metaphors in mind, revolving around themes of alienation and social disconnection. So, I started a visual bible around it.
Each character is an allegory in itself and exist to personify their own flaws. The project would tackle different issues, from exploitation and class struggle to narcissism and obsessive behavior.
It might eventually become a movie, or something else. In the meantime I would like to share some of the designs with you guys.
This is the Sphinx. She is the Queen, the Peacock's partner and nemesis. Their routine dispute with the king is a fuel for the antagonistic world of Distance.
Being tired of the endless, toxic routine that they have been rehearsing with the Peacock, she will eventually break her bounds and claim her freedom.
