Julia Homan
[BFA] Studio Art – Drawing
As an artist, I like to tell stories and share characters, human or otherwise. Through digital illustration, I develop other worlds with new characters and landscapes. I take an anthropological approach to worldbuilding, developing culture, behavior, and history affected by the environment which shapes a society much like how Earth has shaped ours. The Eme are a species I developed through illustrations and a field guide to their world. From lower gravity leading to larger fauna to the heavy storms that dictate architecture, I use cause and effect to determine design, function, and purpose. By using science, technology, and art, I combine what we know with the “what if”.
