Hello all!
We are three Academy of Art University environment art students joining our first challenge here on cubebrush. We think this is an amazing opportunity to learn new skills and get some great experience.
We are still fleshing out some of the finer details of our project but the overall environment takes place in a village at the base of volcano (Referencing some of the cultural architecture from Bogota, a city in Columbia). As the story goes, at some point in the future the earth has become uninhabitable. Plant and animal life died off and the remaining members of humanity took to space (leaving this village to its own devices). Over generations the descendants of earth continually to monitored the planet until it had finally become stable enough to repopulate. These new settlers bring back with them advanced technologies but will soon discover the earth has changed.
We think this will be a good plot line to both show these beautiful buildings in a unique style as well as bringing in a Sci-Fi concept. We are imagining that the settlers are settling here in this village to be near the volcano in which they have set up a base in order to harness thermal energy. We can incorporate the ship and drop ships they came down in. We will be able to add futuristic machinery and buildings as well as having some of the older buildings in the town being restored by advanced technology. But the old ruins remain, and the settlers soon realize that the plant life on earth has evolved in a much different and hostile way. That plant life of this new earth is not too keen on loosing its thorny grip on the city.
We will soon begin to add concept art, references and blockouts as we develop them shortly.
We are going to have so much fun!! Thanks so much for the challenge. And we are really excited to see everything from the community.
