SciFi

SciFi from Colby Higgins

SciFi

A collection of my concept and sci-fi art

Weather sucks - ...So I painted

Mech Innoculator - Climbs onto the back of real mosquitos to conserve energy, then inoculates unknowingly

Future Cities - My thoughts on overpopulation, kind of crazy though. The massive trees would be watered/fed mechanically with artificial roots. A lot of extra detail with the large size.

Future World Painting Process - Drawing on 3x3" post it notes to help get the scale/ and proportions right. I take the final one to photoshop and paint under it.

Luminescents - Painting again....

Fog Stroll - Playing with lighting and atmosphere to get an effect

I see launch shoes in the future.... - taking flight

Audiological - random sketching and some music led to it. Going for a really random paint feel with good readability though
