Concept art and worldbuilding

World concept: This is a fantasy world inhabited by magical creatures and descendents of ancient races that no longer live on it. This magical races used to live on comunities, but with the passing of centurys they perished. A lot of them decided to inheritege part of their powers to the very last common race that still lasted, with the intend of leave a legacy: the humans. From this humans were borned different lineages, each one with his owns particularities. Along the years, kingdoms and tribes were formed by the lineages.

Character: Her name is Liriana. She’s the second princess of Castena's kingdom and the youngest from five siblings (Calahan the first prince and the heir; Mariam the first princess; and Ivan and Eros the second and third princes). The lineage of her family is known for being the descendents of the Artineas, an ancient race that lived in the mountains centurys ago. This lineage is capable of molding the metals with bare hands with the same facility as clay. Depending on the hardness of the metal, it will be more easy or difficult to bend it. The easiest metals to bend are the precious metal such as gold and silver for example. Liriana is from the nobolty and never finded herself in the needed of learning to bend difficult metals like alloy’s one, so she only manipulet precious metals.

She always keep a low profile all of her life. Her siblings outshine her but she’s not conflicted about that, her family adores her and overprotects her, and Liriana being so introvert as she is, she’s comfort with her status among the family. Nevertheless, she´s devoted to her kingdom and home, always enthusiastic of learning about her culture, history and people.

Her life change drastically the moment the war star in the continent. Her kingdom got involved and because an inner complot, her three brothers disappeared in combat. Her father the king died for a desease in the middle of the conflict and Mariam, her older sister, seems incapable of assuming the leadership due to a depression after the death of her husband in the war and now recentelly, the death of her father. Thus, against all odds, Liriana must ascend to the throne trying to keep the situation at bay while trying to find her brothers.

For her design and world building i wanted to take historical inspiration from the Roman culture, i'm still trying to figure out the full concept.
