Ecliptica
Ecliptica is my art project about children who fall on another planet and they meet alot strange creatures. Some of them will be helping kids to back home, but some of them will interfere. I wrote a book with first part of story. Also, I wanted to make artbook and storybook about my characters based on a story. It will be stunning if it will grow in animation. But now It is frozen and I don`t know what will be in the end. I wanted just show you some concepts of characters and world. Art was created by a talented artists who helped me.
