These sketches represent early conceptual drawings of an Eldar cityscape or Craftworld, capturing the fluid and organic design language typical of Eldar architecture in Warhammer 40,000. The layout includes multiple perspectives and focal points, each providing a sense of the sprawling, otherworldly nature of Eldar cities.
The top-left sketch presents a view of a central structure, possibly a towering spire connected by sweeping bridges. The Eldar’s distinctive architectural elements, such as curved forms and web-like designs, are apparent, giving the structure an almost skeletal appearance. In the background, floating ships with sleek designs can be seen, reinforcing the advanced technology of the Eldar.
In the bottom sketch, the artist appears to experiment with a perspective from a cliffside or elevated platform, overlooking the vast Eldar city below. The sketch suggests a landscape where the city merges with the environment, with towers rising organically from the ground, further reinforcing the Eldar’s symbiotic relationship with their surroundings.
The top-right sketch focuses more on the dense and intricate city layout, featuring flowing lines and abstract shapes, likely intended to evoke a sense of alien beauty and harmony within the Craftworld. The overall feel is of a city that is part of the cosmos itself, floating through space, and filled with elegance and mystique. These early concepts highlight the artist’s exploration of the Eldar’s complex and fluid architectural identity.
