Link to the original thread with historical backgrounds, extensive descriptions and process: link (Artstation)
Artstation featured a character design challenge around the shogunate in feudal Japan. It was an absolute blast to research the background of these characters, and design 8 different roles within that society. Understanding the complex mechanics of this iconical society and using these as a basis for the designs was a good challenge!
