Phylum • Wednesday, March 7, 2018
A graphic novel project in the early stages, Phylum aims to explore the space where the arts and sciences connect, through stories. Phylum uses house illustrators and special guest artists hired from SteemIt through upcoming incentives.
Posting weekly, artists who follow this thread and familiarize themselves with content and direction will have the opportunity to participate in its creation through initiatives starting in a month or so. When seeking to view past editions of this thread, simply scroll through the @stateofthearts feed and look for the logo above.
With Phylum story brief introduced, the environment previewed, influences considered, and mood examined, we now move into concept thumbnail rough sketches and begin to explore characters. With a female lead to design who performs as part of a stage and dance troupe, our concept artists keep the feeling of movement in the mix.
As well, we begin to ideate potential creatures for the Phylum realm.
I really like these sketches and concept art its cool. I like the way the humanoid figures are drawn as well as that weird smiling fluff ball looking character.
Glad you like them thundero117.
We aim to make Phylum a science fantasy exploration, in the form of stories. We look forward to continuing to associate with other creatives to explore these themes. As has been the case with everything from movies to imagineering and anime, sometimes the connection between fantasy and the real world precedes innovation.
As a small example, look at the communication devices used years ago in the classic Star Trek series...cel phones!
