Neo and Nubia is a childrens/young adult series. The first book is called the greatest walk and depicts the great human migration out of Africa as told by the current scientific consensus.
During this project I was the concept artist and originator of the style and also contributed to many narrative plot points. As we started from a place without definite preconceptions we had alot of freedom, time and resources to establish the look and feel of the series.
Below are some of the primary illustrations shown as well as a small sample of the concept art experimental process.
We are currently working on the website and have launched successfully.
