Project Description
Games and animations of fictional genre all have a certain fictional world setting. While creating concept art works, it is essential to follow the rules of the world setting to keep its internal consistence. This project investigated the reason and the approach to logically perfect a fantasy world by concept art design.
In this project, multiple creative works were produced to build up a post-Apocalyptic world at steam age，for the use of an open world game. They are all following the rules of the fictional world setting and have mutual influence on each other.
