New World Art

For those who don't know, "The New World" is a story (fantasy with some sci-fi) that I've been working on for the last four years. However, its backgrounds stretch much further than that--many ideas for it that would later become a part of it were in my imagination since the 4th grade, and some from even earlier. Considering how long I've been working on it, its no surprise that there is a HUGE amount of background material, character development, and plot (over 200 MB) involved.

This page has some of the visual artwork that is directly related to the New World story, its characters, and its concepts.

	05.01.2000 - Character Sketch - Teralia Kiaski 14 - Model 9 This is one of the best of the pencil Teralia sketches I've made. I made this picture for me to refer to while writing a section of the New World story (then called the Dragon Project) where protagonist Alexander gets blown into this other world (long story). This version has been modified however--in the original pic, Teralia was purple, which at the time, I thought gave her a majestic look. The pic took around two days to complete (Ah... how we miss junior high). Changes since this rendering have been noted below.
	05.19.2000 - Character and Location - Phoenix Complex This is the first large picture I ever made using Adobe Photoshop (5.0 if you must know). I had intended to do it with colored pencil like my previous drawings, but I wanted to test this program and looking at the results, I have to say that it was a complete success, and I've used Photoshop ever since. One problem was that Teralia looked too much like Insomniac's Spyro (for the PSX). I wasn't too happy about that. Since then, the creation of this pic, the character has changed radically and (1) no longer has puny wings, (2) is no longer purple, and (3), looks completely different.
	05.30.2000 - Character and Concept - Wing Pack Model I Here's a picture that I never quite got to finish. Based on the Wing Unit Model 1, I created it so that I could visualize what it would look like. In this picture the character Alexander Skyrien is standing on the ledge of the Phoenix Complex. I don't know why I never finished this. Oh well. There's a few more that I never finished. If anyone wants the PSD file, just ask.

	07.12.2000 - NCF Attack on Home Bay Palace Original Pencil Drawing This was my second drawing that I created with the help of Photoshop.
	07.27.2000 - NCF ATTACK ON HOME BAY PALACE NCF Attack on Home Bay Palace Full Color Drawing It was only my third Photoshop drawing. Well, I learned, and it was worth my whole two weeks I spent on it. I really like the detail, the people running around, the reflections etc.. The hardest part of the texture of the mountains and the grass. And the individual lights on each explosion...that was hard. One thing I don't like is the "blueness" of the palace. It's too blue. Oh yes: It looks too cartoony.
	06.22.2000 - Test Drawing - A Stormy Night Sky This was the first picture I made not based off a pencil drawing. With the help of Photoshop, I was able to make a much better picture than I had expected. This is a picture of NCF fighters flying to Home Bay to attack.
	08.07.2000 - Character Sketch - Teralia 15 - Model 11 Now, this was a new model of Teralia I drew in the Animation class at College of DuPage during the summer. I wanted to make her look more realistic and less fantasy. This is much better than the last one. The wings especially turned out well. This took about four days of work.
	02.21.2001 - The Endless Charge, Pencil original This picture was based on a sudden idea I had for the New World story. This is my first "real" visual project of mine since the "NCF attack". Things are going well so far...
	02.25.2001 - The Endless Charge, Final This is by far the most "color correct" drawing I ever made and I'm especially happy with how this picture turned out and I really feel that I've learned a lot since I first made the "Flying" picture. This is also the most dramatic premise, having the NCF naval fleet devastated by a single NCI airship.
	04.2001 - Conceptual Drawings of 3 Ship Classes I'm not exactly sure when I drew these, but they seemed interesting. Of course, these are old versions, but their essence remained. Look below at the 3dsmax version of the carrier.
	10.04.2001 - Updated Political Map of the New World In creating a map of the Neo-Choson Imperium, for the geography, I used a topographical map of Asia. This is a fairly old map. but it incorporates much of the current geo-political structure of the New World. The various color patches in the NCI are the 8 administrative regions.
	02.02.2002 - The Green Rapture One of the first animals I've created, the final product for the rapture emerged from various places. The idea originated from an idea of a pet dragon, from my dragon infatuation days of 7th - 8th grade. The morphology of the rapture originated from an artistic rendering of an archaeopteryx, a reptilian bird from the late Jurassic period. Also influencing the final product was the greasel, from the amazing game Deus Ex. More info on the rapture.
	05.27.2002 - 3dsmax Version of the Pacific Class Carrier So here. Finally a 3D model of a New World unit, the Pacific Class Carrier. You'll notice that there aren't any textures or lighting modifiers on the carrier, but this was a preliminary model. A test if you will. And I think it turned out just fine.
	08.19.2002 - NCI Land Dominating Fighter After watching a special on the future of land combat on the Discovery Channel, I decided that land combat in the New World should be more advanced. And thus emerged the Land Dominating Fighter model 1, a body suit with the most high-tech integrated battle equipment, capable of sustaining a soldier on the battlefield for an extended period of time. The inspiration for the design and equipment for the suit came from various sources, including the marines from Deus Ex, the Predator (from Predator), and Capt. J.T. Marsh (from Exosquad). Cool no?
