Just a few days after the last bit of concept art, Mark Siegel encouraged me to keep pushing the visual style for DECELERATE BLUE. I continued with some of the ideas from the first sketch, while trying to take things up a notch. Used more lost lines (but still not enough…), and tried to hint at the narrative, with the circuit board shapes morphing into the more organic human heart and veins. Tried to develop characters a little more. I like a lot of this, but it’s not perfect.
