Broken Tick

This image comes from a developer journal for a project I am creating called Mythos of Solaria. This image is of the front page, which is a series of clock faces and gears designed to be interconnected and layered.

Mythos of Solaria is an epic fantasy tale that takes place in a modern world. There exists in this world both technology and magic, along with various races between humans, elves, dwarves, and beasts. The series is broken down into multiple stories that happen simultaneously across the kingdom, both relating to each other, and having nothing to do with each other.

I wanted to design the clock itself to look highly detailed. I added details to the numbers, and used a compass design to accent every third hour. I used circles to make the remaining hours stand out, and used ticks to divide the circle into minutes.

On the gears in the background, I wanted to add a pattern to them to make them appear unique and different. I decided to go with emblems of noble houses found in the series Mythos of Solaria.

This sketch was drawn on a 8" x 11" page.
