The Abyss

This was a quick project I did on the weekends that was inspired by multiple photos and videos I've seen in the past months. I've also always wanted to work on a space or Sci-Fi project that included a character to elevate story. It was a concept about a space mercenary exploring the unknown, The Abyss. Although the mercenary seems quite prepared, something unfolds upon a discovery. I wanted to include bold colors, while keeping the composition simple. I will continue to work on this and add some other things for story, but I figured to share what I have for now.

Update: I added another mercenary in the scene and artifacts to create more story.

Below are the references I used and attached is a small breakdown from one of the shots.
