Aladdin - Concept phase

For the last 8 months, I've been working on this worldbuilding project with the purpose of making a splash art with a story behind. I always felt like my illustrations were lacking in the storytelling side, it now became what I value the most in an artwork. So I decided to go for a story inspired by the middle east. The story of Prince Aladdin, a teenager who has huge responsibilities to complete. Helped by Salman, the spirit of a deceased royal guard to defeat the shaman who got corrupted by a cursed book.

I would like to say thanks to all the friends that helped me finishing this ambitious project, it couldn't have been made without you guys. Special thanks to :
