"Nature Far Gone" was a portfolio developed within a few months to apply for the Center for Creative Studies' Concept Art program. The portfolio granted me admission, which I was extremely proud of. The Concept Art program itself is the most competitive major and very selective, and I was unable to get in. I was grateful for my experience in a competitive environment and moved forward to look for other programs and found myself at Bowling Green State University. The prompt was to create a pitch for a story and to create characters, props, environments, hardware, and architecture. I have always found myself drawn to apocalypse stories, but thought, what would the world be like in a realistic apocalypse?
