Hi thank you and you are very welcome indeed to be part of the project!
In terms of art - it's really wide open to you as an artist how you interpret the broken down android on a desolate planet brief.
For example - we've had one submission that is a very life-like android and the artist relates the images back to his own childhood experience. We have a couple of people working on 3D animations too and one cartoonist (I have not seen what he is working on yet!).
I'm looking to get at least 10 artists involved and targeting end of January for final submission deadline so it can all 'launch' online in February with the art installation in London following in early spring.
(or if you don't want to sign up there no probs - you can also drop me an email at hello@tdctunes.com and I'll send it to you - or we can chat here in comments)There is a PDF explainer with more about the story including a prologue to give you more insight on how it's shaping up so far: https://tdctunes.os.fan/awakening-story
Great! Tomorrow I'll read the pdf! Thank you
Hi there! Just wondering if you are still planning to create something for the collaborative art/story project! The deadline is end of January so the time is now if you would like to. Would love to have you on board - and shout if you have any questions or need any more info!
Hi!
Yes, I just finished a period of commission work yesterday, and now I can devote myself to what I had imagined in my mind after reading the pdf.
The introductory story is very broad, so I will visualize a specific moment that intrigued me.
Hey that's awesome - so please to have you on board!
Yes - it's intentionally a very open brief - and It think the way it will be curated will highlight the variety of different interpretations people have of it.
Looking forward to seeing what you create!
Hi,
so, the moment in the brief that inspired me was to visualize this vaguely human “living” form made of electronic scraps.
The human form extended from the spaceship like a newborn baby still attached to the umbilical cord, to explore the world.
So I imagined this shape made of bits and wires emerging from the crater created by the impact of his spaceship (or a piece of it).
I have yet to visualize the scenario ... but this is my basic idea and I would start drawing it (the second sketch is better).
I don't know if you prefer a 16:9 or square format.

Hey - this is so good - love it already!
16:9 probably my preference but I can make anything work if artistically you feel square is better.
Hi,
I sent you my illustration to your email address.
I hope you find it useful for your project.
It's a square image in 4K (300 dpi in case you need to print it).
It's large enough so that if you need to cut it into 16:9 format, you can handle it however you like (or I'll send you a 16:9 version if you want).
Have a nice day!
Great! Any questions just shout!
