These images are explained in more detail on the original portfolio page linked in unit 1. Here is a collection of images I selected ad inspiration to develop my character and environmental concepts.
The year is 5051. Global warming has melted ice covering Antarctica, Greenland, and mountain glaciers around the world. Sea levels have risen 70 meters (230 feet). The condition changes have caused catastrophic weather conditions on the surface leaving most of Earth underwater. Ancient viruses and bacteria frozen deep within the Antarctic ice Approximately 300 million years ago, during the Triassic Period, has been released. These viruses combined with Earths environmental changes have rapidly affected and evolved all and any living organisms. Humans who survived developed gill slits bilaterally down the dorsal side of their spines giving them the ability to subtract low amounts of oxygen underwater and breathe. Their hands and feet flattened into fins and elongated to allow fluent movement underwater. These evolutional changes allow humans to exist and prosper deep under the Earth’s surface in places along the ocean’s floor, out of reach from the poisonous air that exists now on the surface. Despite these beneficial changes to humans which allow them to better maneuver their new environment, changes have also taken place within creatures that now exist alongside these humans. In a world now limited in supply of food, humans must pillage the waters in a sea of hungry carnivores and struggle to survive.
