KRATOR "The Man of High Sophia" is my project, still work in progress, for my graduation in October 2026, in the AEC Concept Art Program in Syn Studios, Montreal, Canada.

Except for the child, these people are the peak of their societies. They rule over their own building and habitants living there.

ADIK DANTISIS: He is the protagonist, an enigmatic, polite and elegant man that is a newcomer to the city of Parome. His richness is so vast, that let him get one of the most important skyscrapers in the area. However, his past is a mystery.

KERDA LEOS: He is a little kid from the lower levels of High Sophia Building that helps Adik Dantisis in all the business he can't do because his position. His innocence and slyness are his main tool to get all what he wants. He has some kind of mysterious and fraternal link with Adik that everyone ignores.

LETE AGAPEA: She is a sophisticated, observant and pessimistic woman with a dramatic past. Due to a tragedy in her past, she had to get married to one of the most powerful men in the city, a Mafia boss obsessed with her.

THONOS HYBRIS: He is Lete Agapea's husband. This man is a baroque, huge and narcissist man that rules over the criminal underworld of Parome city. He controls politics, but corruption is the definition of a man that replaced his arm with a powerful prosthetic after a terrorist attack against him.

The production of these characters started using the references related with their personalities keywords. The initial sketches were a line-art work that was used to do color studies. They were made done in digital drawing and painting. However, Thonos Hybris arm was designed separately using photo-bashing and over painting them. Once was done, it was integrated with the rest of the body.

Kerda Leos' sketches were created using photo-bashing as a base before whole over painting. The final result doesn't have any rest of the original photos, but it was an useful technique for iterating several character archetypes in a small amount of time.
