I began creating the Quantum: Origins universe a few years ago and have been writing the story of an epic science fiction tale which takes place over 4,000 years into the future. I have always been more of an artist than a writer but I can't partake in one without the other. Writing inspires me to create art and vice versa. This month marks a huge change in the Quantum: Origins universe. I have opened up the project as a collaborative effort to accept the creative input of other artists and writers. The scope of the project is huge. Imagining how many systems, galaxies, and planets that are out there in the vast universe, it's easy to see that there's loads of room for creation. As an artist/writer, I have certain talents and strengths that I do really well and then there are other creative abilities I fall short on. I believe this is the case with many artists but when you have a community that spans a large variety of talents, it can all come together in a perfect meld and produce award winning material. In it's current stage, the project is looking for artists to do character art, create alien races, invent space craft and vehicles, and design new worlds, planets, and systems. We need artists who are can submit landscape scenery to our universe. A collaborative example: Someone may design a planet, I would write up the story behind it, and someone else would use that information to paint scenery of the world while yet another artist may feel inspired to create a race indigenous to that planet. Another way of contributing which has already helped support the project: Some artists have the creative spark to just paint. These artists create because it's fun or because it's therapeutic: whatever their reasons, they paint incredible things that don't belong to any current project. Quantum: Origins is proud to give these works of art a home and a story, helping them to become part of an epic collaborative work of science fiction. If we, as a collaborative effort, pour our creativity into this project, it is a very real possibility we'll see it come to life in comics, books, games, TV and Movies. I look forward to working with you all.
