Gerard Vicen - Concept Art 2023
Hello there!, My name is Gerard, I'm 26, and I'm really excited to showcase the last project I did during the last month and a half and some of my best works at FX Barcelona Film School the last 2 years!.
My goal in this month and a half project was to create the basis for my future graduation project. A world full of life, managed by "the 5 Firstborns". Each of them has a specific and unique role. My idea was to provide them with skills that allow them to carry the creation out of my new world, MDOLA.
"The Chaotic balance"
From the iciest wasteland to the most scorching heat, USHDAK is the Firstborn of temperature. Its power lies in being able to manipulate in one area the molecular vibrations of objects, both organic and inorganic. Each time it is activated, its body dilates or contracts, generating energy within itself, which it then releases in the form of a shockwave, freezing or scorching everything in its path.
USHDAK knows no remorse, its function, in the end, is to restart life cycles through sudden temperature changes.
"The Dawnlight"
Heavens guardian and possessor of light, HIKAH is the Firstborn of radiation. Its power lies in being able to absorb electromagnetic radiation from other solar systems, being able to store and process it inside itself. Once its body is complete, it uses four appendages and hollow scales located on its back that continuously expel light.
It is solitary because it can modify other molecular structures.
"The Black reflection"
Darkness and silence provider, SKUGGALITR is the Firstborn of decay. Its power lies in its ability to absorb light and process it into "Ash spores". Once its organs are filled, it aggressively expels these spores through all the orifices of its body, thus creating black zones where light cannot reach and which help to decompose what is already dead.
It is called the counterpart of HIKAH, the shadow that benefits new forms of life and feeds on the already dead.
"The Absolut calm"
From the most common liquid to the most toxic substance, AKNU is the Firstborn of fluids. Its power consists in generating the "Original placenta", capable of transforming into certain fluids depending on the environment and the subject it injects with its threads. Its body degenerates, to the point where it dies and must hibernate to grow again, fulfilling its metamorphic cycles.
Its wings light up only at dusk and night. When it dies, its body searches for black areas where it can be born again.
"The First mother"
From the highest and the deepest part of MDOLA, IXTADEL is the Firstborn of matter. It is in charge of carrying all kinds of materials around the world, both organic and inorganic, both soft and hard. The so-called IXTA's and DEL's populate the planet incessantly, both by land and air.
IXATDEL legs are so colossal that when they impact the ground they create cavities up to 100 meters depth. IXTA's and DEL's feed on a turquoise, viscous substance that sweats from IXATDEL body and that allows them to generate materials on their respective bodies.
Special thanks
I want to thank my colleagues and teachers, who motivated me to create everything that came out of me, not to lose faith in the project, especially Silvia and Ricardo, sometimes it is not necessary to be in a hurry if you are well accompanied. Thanks to my partner who always pushes me to be a better artist, including feedbacks like "Brutal" or "You're the best" and to my parents, who for better or worse there's been no sign of me in just over a month, I'm a good son I promise.
Without further ado, see you at MDOLA!
PORTFOLIO
Let me show you some of the recent project I did on my last 2 years
Myth of the Valkyrie
I have always been interested in mythologies, especially the Nordic mythology. I decided to reinterpret and give another image to the famous "Myth of the Valkyrie", and create a character that is more adapted to how it is described in the ancient stories, not simply to the current vision of a Valkyrie.
RHONDA
My goal in this project was to create with other colleagues a Jazz band in the 60's. Rhonda is the saxophonist of the band. My intention was to give her confidence to the point of transmitting arrogance, both in its expression and its costumes.
YAKUTSK BUNKER
The premise was clear, to create a bunker that has suffered an apocalyptic event. In this "STEIN", fed up with humanity, decided to provoke the end of the world and take refuge in his bunker in order to continue with his experiments. After a while the madness took over him completely, thus experimenting on himself.
If you have made it this far, thank you very much for your time and dedication to people who are just starting they careers out in this world.
Gerard.
