Project Overview

Atlas
Atlas is an original science fiction series from The Soap Collective. Awaken to a place lost to time, with secrets waiting to be uncovered around every corner.
My responsibilities on Atlas were to produce concepts, and define the visual language for the world and characters.

CONCEPT ART
Using information from backstory I used visual metaphor to reinforce character traits and to tell the history of Atlas. As the player explored the world and gained more knowledge, visuals in the world that may have been overlooked reveal new meaning.
