~Genre, Believable near future sci fi.

-Golden Fleece, an artifact of really advanced or unknown tech (could be alien tech). Little known about it but seems to have miraculously beneficial effects on human health.

-Jason, promising entrepreneur.

-Media, a charismatic political and spiritual leader of a very successful colony located in Neptune's moon Triton.

-Pelias, an established businessman associated with a powerful corporation.

-Gods, members of the management board of that corporation.

-Phineas, member of a previous unsuccessful expedition to find the Fleece.

In this version Pelias is told by the members of the board of the corporation about the importance of finding the artifact and bringing it back for research. He is also told they are thinking of associating with Jason, a young independent entrepreneur, to create an expedition to find the artifact.

Pelias is trying to make merits to be considered as a member of the board. He feels his ambitions can be threatened by Jason so he proposes taking charge of the project representing the corporation.

Hi Xin! For the architecture exploration, I tried to use the shapes of the Celtic knots without making it too obvious and did some literal bridge sketches although I'm not sure if that's the way I'll go for the connection between the mortal realm and the realm of the gods.

Thank you for the class! It was really fun exploring all these ideas.

Hi Xin, thanks for a fun and challenging term!

Since I've been doing a lot of mood and ref boards, I'm still working on my environment sketches, will upload them later tonight to this post. Still not sure how far to should go with exploring how the world works, just that I have a lot of ideas for some key landmarks (that you can see in the second moodboard) that have a lot of sci-fi scale/utility baked in, like massive central circulation shafts that double as a park space and town square; a bathhouse / cathedral shrine space that has a large UV lamp that people use daily; a series of mass transit stations that double as fortified guard towers (to protect against inevitable outbreaks of civil unrest and terrorism), and the massive skyscraper-turned-new-ground-floor 'ceiling' and how that might look?

These just sound fun to do, but since they're mildly unrelated to the specific IP deliverables, I think my goal over the break would be to explore as much as possible (for my own reference and benefit) before school starts again, to then refocus on the actual deliverables.
