Andrea Bellini - Concept Art 2023

HI, These are all personal projects I have worked on over the past two years that reflect who I am. I hope you enjoy this brief journey and thank you for taking a look at my work!

                                                                                                   PRIMAL AGE

The creatures inhabiting the underground citadel are the result of a failed experimentation project on human subjects due to mysterious causes. The experiment aimed to create beings capable of surviving extreme situations through genetic manipulation, based on thorough studies of animal and human behavior to find the perfect hybrid combination. After the project was abandoned, these self-aware creatures began to develop their own underground civilization.

KING EEVELON - The main character. The king is the sole creature in the subterranean citadel capable of withstanding the light. Revered as a demi-god and a king-priest by his subjects, he is their only hope to liberate them from the depths of darkness. He is the prophet of a new species destined to rule over the light.

The inspiration for the character designs came after studying the evolution of animals and insects inhabiting underground caves, particularly troglobites. Living in extreme lightless environments, they developed genetic adaptations such as depigmentation, slender bodies, elongated limbs, and reduced or absent eyes. Eevelon's attire draws inspiration from South American cultures like the Incas, Mayas, and Aztecs, reflecting their sacrificial practices and worship of the sun.

The Temple is, at the same time, King Eevelon's throne room and the sanctuary of light. The three concepts represent, in order: the construction of the frieze of light, the temple hall and Eevelon's throne, the only area in the underground citadel exposed to light, and the entrance of the temple.

IMPERIAL SENTINEL - The Imperial Sentinels stand watch over the walls that stretch along the empire's entire border. Their helmets illuminate in red when danger arises, emitting smoke to alert distant sentinels and call for reinforcements. The concept behind this character was to blend sci-fi aesthetics with Renaissance-inspired attire, specifically drawing inspiration from the Vatican Swiss Guards.

                      GALATIO - CINEMATIC KEYFRAMES

For over 200 years, Muun Corporation has been training its couriers for the shipment of embryos to the most dangerous extraworld colonies. To ensure their safety and efficiency, we provide our employees with a comfortable and extremely lightweight suit capable of adapting to extreme atmospheric conditions and varying gravities. Our couriers are bio-synthetic androids capable of producing amniotic fluid. The exoskeleton extracts the fluid directly from the spinal cord, a necessary process for the protection of the embryos.
