Inspired by organic, abstract cybersigilism forms, "Cyber Subnautical" is a diptych of two deep-sea humanoid creatures. By layering abstract forms on top of collaged underwater pictures, a psychedelic aquatic world is born. I transformed my fear of the deep, unknown ocean into a vision of a welcoming world with beautiful creatures.
Skills: Affinity Designer and Adobe Photoshop
I wanted the diptych panels to be related to one another and create a subtle story of admiration or possible romance.
To the left are my initial sketches of the abstract and organic forms and the vectorized outlines. To the right is how I set up my working canvas on Affinity Designer with my inspiration images, the original sketch, and the colorized character.
These pictures show my Affinity Designer canvas progress for the second character, from outlining to colorizing.
