Character design for Sedna, the Inuit Mother Goddess of the Sea, ruler of Adlivun, the Inuit underworld.
Design for the outside of Sedna's underwater lair, a constantly growing castle of icy spikes which encapsulates the souls she has trapped, guarded by an eel-like sea monster who uses the souls as his eyes. Sedna resides inside the dark giant sphere.
