Summary

World of Orrendago includes the Map of Orrendago and a body of work called People of Orrendago, which is a collection of individual drawings depicting one or more fictional denizens of the city. This is based on Map of Orrendago, which is a map of a fictional city from a long-time personal worldbuilding of mine. The map is a visualization of the city from the birds’ eye view, drawn in ink with intention to be immersive and visually interesting in a near-abstract way, as well as to act as an “accurate” map of a fictional place. The designs for People of Orrendago were painstakingly planned out to represent my vision of the city, which is informed by a number of historical and cultural references which I worked to combine in order to design clothing and equipment that feel authentic while still being unique and slightly fantastical. Some drawings are done digitally, and some are pencil, pen, and marker on paper.
