... at Aricee Hills South.

Maia [link] stepping off the train to her new neighborhood.

SYNTHESIS is an upcoming online graphic novel project!
See it at the website here: www.synthesiscomic.com
[It's just a placeholder for now. It will launch soon!]


Influences: Boston MBTA, Tokyo Metro, Swedish graphic design.

Special Homage: Mirror's Edge for the much-needed influential boost it gave my work during late 2008. Marked by the runner's bag on the suitcase :) There was just something about the visual approach that game had that made me think differently about everything. It really helped pull me out of a huge artistic rut. So a big special thanks to DICE studios! [Also, the mark on Maia's arm isn't a reference to Mirror's Edge. This has been a part of Maia's design since about 2001. It's supposed to be a scannable QR code -- also visible here [link] . In the past year though, I've slowly phased out of drawing this from her design.] I'd also like to add, that though Mirror's Edge was an influence on me during this era of my work, not everything with a primary color scheme is automatically Mirror's Edge related. XD Prime real-world examples are IKEA and Legos, which are two other things I love!



Check out the process for the drawing of the image: [link]
[kind of a big image]

*** "Now Arriving" has been awarded the BFA Juror's Award for the graduating class of 2009 in Illustration. It has been further selected to be hung in the university president's home gallery. [which is basically AIB's Hall of Fame.]

SYNTHESIS - Now Arriving... by `fox-orian reminds of those wonderful days when you just set out to travel. The destination never seems important, what seems wonderful is the feeling and the enjoyment! ( Suggested by ~Brosa and Featured by `archanN )

I think you win by referencing Boston's MBTA and Pingu (although i pronounce it NUG NUG)
Great art!

Yeah! I like the feel in this one. It has a casual feel, yet the atmosphere is different than that of the modern day world. I love this!
Great job, and congrats on your DD for this :D
