THE SOMATIC ARCHIVE

The Somatic Archive is a concept art and 3D modeling project dedicated to exploring characters, sculptures, and environments within a post-apocalyptic, futuristic universe. Here we present the initial concepts that define the aesthetic of New Genesis, from the creation of synthetic creatures and factions to the design of environments, furniture, and key objects.

The Somatic Archive. Every character, sculpture, and scene begins as an idea and a conceptual sketch by the artist, then is modeled in 3D, and finally processed through AI for rendering, optimizing time and exploring different visual styles without compromising the original vision.

AI is a tool, not an artist: the art and concept originate from human talent and creative direction. This catalog is your gateway to the visual universe of New Genesis, where each piece reflects the imagination and identity of the project.

This catalog from The Somatic Archive presents an innovative approach to concept art production: 3D-designed sculptures and environments, enhanced and rendered using artificial intelligence. The result is a fusion of the precision of digital modeling and the creative freedom of generative tools, achieving images with a level of detail and atmosphere that surpasses traditional methods.

3D concept art allows for the visualization of characters, furniture, props, and landscapes from multiple angles, with an accuracy close to the final product. By integrating generative AI processes into the rendering, the pieces acquire unexpected nuances: vibrant textures, unique atmospheres, and an almost photographic finish that enriches the project's artistic direction.

This catalog is not just a gallery of images, but a visual laboratory where technology and art converge. Each render is the result of experimentation, blending materials, light, and digital glitch effects, making each piece a unique artifact within the universe of The Somatic Archive.

The goal is clear: to establish a strong, contemporary visual identity, leveraging the best of 3D tools and artificial intelligence to open new creative avenues in the development of video games and immersive experiences.

The Somatic Archive: Chronicles of Synthetic Remnants

Art and Concept Art Catalog

This catalog showcases the art and concept art used in the visual development of The Somatic Archive.

It includes explorations in 3D modeling of sculptures and environments, as well as character design concepts, furniture and prop designs, and key scene layouts for the video game New Genesis.

This document compiles the aesthetic and conceptual foundations that will serve as a guide for artists and collaborators in creating the project's visual universe.

More than just a collection of images, this catalog serves as a guide to atmosphere and style. It acts as a reference point for maintaining the project's aesthetic consistency, ensuring the visual quality of characters and environments, and paving the way for new explorations in digital art and 3D sculpting.

This catalog is designed as a platform for creative collaboration. Each piece of artwork serves as a starting point for artists and designers to contribute new ideas for character design, props, environments, and visual aesthetics. The goal is to build a strong visual asset library together, one that will support the game's overall identity.

The Somatic Archive is a project that combines artistic conceptualization, 3D modeling, and the use of AI as a rendering tool to create a unique universe. Each piece presented here is the result of a process where human creativity is at the core, and technology amplifies its potential.

The art and models for The Somatic Archive are already in development: characters, environments, and sculptures are taking shape as the foundation of this universe. This portfolio is the first glimpse into this creative work, a testament to the aesthetic direction that will define the project.

The next step will be to launch The Somatic Archive on Kickstarter, where we will seek to build a community and gather the necessary resources to transform this vision into a full-fledged video game. Every contribution will help bring New Genesis to life—a world that already exists in concept and art, but now needs collective support to truly come to fruition

Each design presented here functions as a synthetic fragment, an aesthetic reference that helps to imagine and build worlds, to shape impossible creatures, and to define the visual identity of this archive. These are not merely illustrations, but rather a creative map where the biological, the digital, and the architectural coexist within a shared visual language.

This catalog is intended as a tool for artists and collaborators—an open invitation to immerse themselves in the creative process and contribute new perspectives to the project. From the modeling of monumental sculptures to the detail of a simple everyday object, each element contributes to the construction of a coherent, immersive, and meaningful universe.

This catalog from The Somatic Archive presents an innovative approach to concept art creation. Each piece begins with an initial idea and a conceptual sketch by the artist, which is then 3D modeled to explore form, proportion, and composition. Once the model is finalized, artificial intelligence is used as a rendering tool, optimizing the workflow and allowing experimentation with textures, lighting, and atmosphere, without ever replacing the artist's original vision or creative input.

AI doesn't create the art or the concept; it enhances the process, enabling the generation of high-quality renders more efficiently. Every character, sculpture, scene, prop, or piece of furniture originates from human creative thought, digital modeling, and artistic direction; artificial intelligence simply helps to bring it to life with a faster and more detailed visual finish.

This catalog is, therefore, a hybrid visual laboratory, where human creativity defines the essence, and AI amplifies the result, creating a cohesive, richly detailed universe, ready for further development within The Somatic Archive.
