This is art for one of subquest in game concept "Lil'Sandscape"-one semifinalist in SXSW game design festival.

There's a bell princess tied by the sea with her heart caged.There's one saying that she'll wake up if the bell is ringing. A stupid sea prince try to wake her up by order every fish under his command to nudge her, which surely result in vain. Until there's this human captain that fall in love in her and try to wake her up. He use pulley to pull the princess up with every heavy object he can find..from heavy stone to his own ship.

Madly in love with the princess, he then use himself to pull princess up even that means his death just to be able to touch her face. Then he found out that the one's heavy of the princess is her heart ..which can be only pulled up with feeling that has same weight with her.

The bell ring and the princess got pulled up to the land.
And the sea got another human to be tied up in exchange...

In the game..you can choose to recruit one of those 3 character based on the story...
