The initial drawing that got me to start thinking about this idea.
Ethervela is my original project that began back in 2015 and have been fleshing out ever since. The idea originated from a simple character sketch. I was basically finding a way to play with shapes by replacing the hair with geometry and seeing what combinations I could find that were visually interesting. The characters started to evolve into something more organic that resembled a kind of biological formation. Soon after, I realized these whimsical characters needed a story and a world to live in which would allow me to be creative and expand on this new aesthetic. The creative potential of this idea really captivated me, and I continued to draw more characters which in turn generated visions of sci-fi environments that would naturally unfold scenarios in my mind, further developing this once simple idea.
