So I spent the entire first week of my self study project simply doing research on African culture and mythology. This week I decided to start working on creating four unique factions to inhabit this world (which I am calling Jahai for the moment), which might contribute to the various classes that are expected in a videogame or roleplaying game. Here are some early sketches and thoughts.

The scouts of Jahai are based on Zulu culture. |
Of course these are all early, but they're a start. It was nice to work on paper for once but now I will be moving on to digital to continue development.
