"The Forest Sodality boasts the finest woodland facilities this side of the Nantucket Sound Mr. Thirster." - Ralph, Forest Sodality Compatriot #compatriots #sodality #forest #vignette Working on a later portion of the #fifthgenesis after the earth has been reborn and have been doing some #lookdev to make things look miniature. #miniature https://www.instagram.com/p/CFziWxCsp9n/?igshid=1lnafijp7fnby

Ryan: "I felt the tanker before I saw it the first time, it shook the earth with every step." Evaline: "Funny you mention it, the tremors are actually one of it's primary ecological functions- other than resupplying chemicals to the ATMO fleet." #fifthgenesis xD earthquake in LA last night https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUkxEks0y2/?igshid=znprnevuiui4

"...these landscapes will never be the same; I'm just glad they are alive again." -Ryan #fifthgenesis https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFJJeqsYJv/?igshid=zh1qsnohxpyr

"What a beautiful world it's becoming— I can't stop thinking about the machine we saw on the trip we took to the plateau restoration site. It's strange form haunts me, like I witnessed the embodiment of the forest at work." - Ryan #fifthgenesis Back to some concept paintings! https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCeWrZMdDf/?igshid=1mbo3z9v7vvrh

a short teaser video for the world of the #fifthgenesis made in #unrealengine . . . I'll be posting digital paintings again soon, but the concept art phase for the fifth genesis is nearly over so I'll be switching to other worlds and new projects (still with the occasional robot landscape). Stay tuned to see what's next! https://www.instagram.com/p/CE66VoTnyca/?igshid=1qbcile7wke10

"Long after us these machines will build themselves— already they are self-informing the subsequent generations. I suspect when that happens, if we haven't taken a firm controlling grip over them, that they will govern us as an ecological system too..." - Evaline #fifthgenesis It felt like an appropriate time to #repost this one as it was the first real concept piece for the world of the Fifth Genesis. While the world will continue on I'm about to graduate with my masters so my world will certainly change. #newgenesis https://www.instagram.com/p/CEweb4DMzcM/?igshid=uyhzvqk7q668

"... don't get me wrong- there's nothing bad about a healthy desert ecosystem, it's just that we turned over half of the planet into a desert." - Evaline #fifthgenesis I've generated a lot of footage while working through the development of a teaser/ thought I'd share some. I've been using clips like this to develop soundscapes and feel out the atmosphere/ art direction. https://www.instagram.com/p/CErguB-nuJ-/?igshid=14p5kh3a3cy9g

"...the compounds we use for their skin are highly absorptive when stimulated by movement; slowly walking causes the machines to recollect the nutrients we've released into the atmosphere. Once collected, the nutrients are balanced and mixed while they travel to the ends of the machines' appendages... Just by moving they can fix nutrients into the ground..." - Evaline #fifthgenesis https://www.instagram.com/p/CEo3rfbsZQ_/?igshid=1l3c3aoxqgz0b
