Dilmur. Bloodborne II / Vaatividya Art Challenge
Blurred in time, the ancient city lost under the sands in an eternal dream.
Prequel Inspired by the culture of ancient Mesopotamia. I took several references from the mythology of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians, mixing it with the Bloodborne aesthetics.
I will not explain anything about the story or lore, it is better to keep the mystery in this specific case, it is the most bloodborne and H.P. Lovecraft thing what can I do.
Dilmur, the city of dreams.
I only change a letter in the Sumerian paradise "Dilmun", I'm not very good with names.
Dilmur, the city of dreams. (Night)
The hunter. I wanted the silhouette to be similar to Marduk, the Sumerian god.
The silver lady. She is the one who helps you level up and the final boss, at the time I thought of the idea of making it similar to Innana, but I wanted to give it a more original touch.
Tiam, the great beast. Inspired directly by the silhouette of Tiamat, I thought to put feathers and a face more similar to a lion but I regretted it, it looked too weird.
Old one Daag. The father of the sea.
Here something curious happened, I used the Sumerian god of Dagon as a silhouette and it ended up being a kind of male Kos.
The Final boss, The silver moon. An angel basically, but I didn't want to leave a basic design with feathers, so it's more like a mebrane.
