started in Fall 2023. I decided to recreate few of the elements that I had designed, like styleframes, islands and ships. Beyond is a story based on Peter Pan, but with the settings changed. One of the things that I explored the most was the island design- how they change their appearance depending on what time of the day it is. I wanted to add a lot of magical elements, especially at night- I was mostly inspired by Avatar and Life of Pi. Another one of my recreations was the style frame. I used the same composition, but I played more with the creature design and the ship design. I added a lot of fantasy elements into it so the audience could capture the magical sense that is implied in the story of Beyond.
with the creature design I had made of the sky serpent by incorporating their skull in the structure. This was also to enhance the fantasy sense of the worldbuilding. While the day version is rather ordinary- I was inspired by the Yosemite- The night version is designed to look more fantastical yet dangerous at the same time.
add more organic elements to make the shape language more interesting. I explored with colors for the fantastic elements, then with the mechanics to make the ship ‘make sense’. I also had an idea of adding these blue gems which would give the power to make the ship float, but it is to be explored further.
