Sketches for my art on the subject of the contract of Sotha Sil and the eight Daedra. Full art can be seen on the link below.
From the very beginning, I imagined this scene in such a way that all daedra will stand on pieces of stones - on the ground or in the empty space of the sky, but they will each stand on their own stone.
Sota Sil restricted the actions of the daedra by his agreement - and I thought that the idea with chains around the daedra’s hands would be good, but then I refused this option.
At first, I also had versions that the stones would be arranged in a circle, and there would be Sotha Sil in the center, but later - made their location more chaotic, and not horizontal - but vertical.
The colors on some sketches are my attempts to imagine the colors with which I thought to associate the daedra. In the final work, each of them has its own gamut.
