It's a Middle Eastern folktale about three brothers that try to win the heart of the princess using magic items.
I was not into the idea of creating a generic Middle Eastern universe. I suggested that we should focus
on Persian culture,
since the text mentions it once.
The Persian culture inspired me not just with the architecture, fashion, and ethnicity but also with their own art.
The flowers, bushes, and trees were based on their own ancient pictures and nature representations.
For the "princes from all over the world" scene I had a great time with the research.
I looked for to represent many kinds of royalness besides the European one.
Here's some references boards!
