Hello Steemit community!
I wanted to show all of you a project I worked on a while back, its called Empire of the Gods. It was mainly a pitch for a sci-fi game for which we had to develop a rich and imaginative visual universe, from the ground up. Characters, environments, props, color sketches, the whole thing. The project was so visually entertaining that I even ended up making side stories for some of the characters.
The project required of me a lot of imagination and a lot of iterations. Sketches upon sketches of ideas. Some of them turned out well, others not so much. That is the thing about working in concept art: don't get attached to an idea. Never! You might love it. The director might not. Entire projects get scrapped due to countless reasons. We should be flexible enough to spend months working on things that will never see the light of day. The good side is that everything piles up in terms of experience. Every minute spent drawing or painting is never wasted! The project you are working on might not get the green light for production. But all the experience you compiled will be available for the next project, a professional or a personal one.
The story for the project was a hero's journey kind of myth. A little slave girl called Lyra, from a really marginal planet, is caught up in the middle of a galactic civil war between two kingdoms. After joining a small group of rebellious soldiers, she and her best friend, a assassin robot called Tarug, start to uncover a lot of dark secrets about the kings and queens of old, including a really dark secret about Lyra's own spiritual inheritance.
I hope you all like it! Don't forget to leave your comment!
