Cleaned up pages of exploration sketches from my person project SOLARIUM. I’ve done a lot of exploration and thinking for shape language, story beats, flora, fauna, and mood in my sketchbook that I wanted to share. I still have a lot to plan out, but I hope that you enjoy.
Each of these yellow sticky notes marks a page with project sketches.
Jaz the Immortal. Time moves differently here. A long, lost astronaut seems almost immortal by comparison to some of the lifeforms here.
Paint over of the 3D models that I use whenever I compose a scene.
All Solarium aliens are based on terrarium friendly creatures. I spent a while in my sketchbook on this phase before I moved to digital.
Another solarium piece – The Impact Site. I spent longer sketching in both my sketchbook and blender on this one. DAZ for posing, Quixel Bridge for some rocks, mushrooms, and base ground, blender for my own creations (featured below), and finally over into photoshop for the finishing touches.
Solarium is a project born out of my love for terrariums, moss, and mycelium. Its also an excuse to use Blender, DAZ, and Quixel Bridge in my project pipeline.
