And can a dead god dream ?

[And can a dead god dream ?]

Hello, welcome to my blog ! I’m Anaël, an illustrator and 3d artist. I draw mainly science fiction art (hoping to get better at drawing spaceships this year !) with a heavy focus on the characters from the science fantasy novel I’m writing, the Radio Isotope (working title).

My comissions are open, and you can find my prices and examples of my work here.

What is the Radio Isotope ?

It’s a science fantasy space opera set a thousand years in our future, in a remote star cluster.

A crew of pirates desperately looking for a job to make some much needed repairs to their spaceship find a paying passenger and a pretty easy smuggling mission. Finally feeling like luck is on their side, they soon realize that the passenger has brought her own problems aboard.

Chased by the Imperator, the biggest bounty hunter spaceship in the star cluster, the small crew of the Radio Isotope must figure out a way to escape and stay alive, and find out why the Emperor, the captain of the Imperator, wants their passenger.

Meanwhile, a third party bigger than both the pirates and the bounty hunters is weaving its own web, hidden in plain sight.

[VoidBreaker Imperator]

VoidBreaker (or Nova) class spaceships are the biggest ships in the Eternal Warden star cluster. They use Singularities to open wormholes to travel all across the cluster, and are able to go from the Center to the Edges in only two jumps. Jumping over such great distances has a cost, and their wormhole generator can take up to two months to recharge. The circular structure around the ship, the "jump rings", are unique to each VoidBreaker and serve as an identification symbol for the crew and any affiliated ship.

This is my graduation project, a video game cinematic, rendered in real time in Unity, with the goal of re-using assets for gameplay. I did everything, from the concept art to (most of ) the sound over the course of this year, and I'm very proud of the final result !

despite having raced all around the Eternal Warden star cluster and having built his entire reputation on his skills as a pilot, the Lieutenant doesn’t have a piloting license.

He had one, but he lost it somewhere and never bothered to have it replaced.
