Personal worldbuilding project - Dusthunters
Howdy! This is a collection of works in my personal worldbuilding project, Dusthunters. Most of this material was to be used for a science fiction webcomic, but has become a bit of its own beast in the past couple of years. It's a fusion of industrial sci-fi and fantasy, set in a universe filled with ancient interstellar empires, dangerous bounty hunters, and horrifying genetic experiments.
Enjoy!

A dogfight above Axux.
A collection of bounty hunter head shots.
A colossus, created as an organic machine for use in war.
Another colossus, this time emulating a snake or lizard. This one is made to feel as if it was made for use in the desert.
Silhouettes of Zusk, Ro Set, and Skullcap against the sunset.

Creature design, lizard mount
An early bounty hunter design.
The helm and sword are meant to evoke an ancient aesthetic. Kona is a traditionalist, and is covered with archaic imagery.
Map of the solar system, alongside trade routes.
Ship designs.
A Kulkoran. Based off of real-world parrotfish.
Creature design. 200 stories high, lives in the deepest parts of the Axuxan ocean.
Zusk.
A mechanical giant, made to combat other colossi.
A captured leviathan, fashioned into a city.
Environmental design for an area made of stitched together parts.
An earlier page of worldbuilding notes, documenting the Sleert race.
A salvage ship's crew. Marc's design in particular I feel compelled to draw again.
Zusk sketches. His weapon, the lance with a human face is particularly unsettling.
Some sketches for an avian race.
The Huntress. Another character that is meant to evoke an ancient era.
Sanguine San Claire. One of my favorite designs, very proud of the helmet.
