Before time frame panel

This is a first draft of the top frame of the 3rd picture panel. It’s the start of the story. It represents the time before the Planck Epoch, in part, the ‘bonkers universe’ where space fairies originate. There, there is no time, no energy, no light. This is the consciousness field where space fairies exist, according to my accompanying book, which diaries this witch photographer commission.

The frame panel is approximately 16 inches tall, by 3 foot 6 inches wide. See the other diagrams in posts, below for further positional info and the story flow.

It’ll be redone, iterated over and over, refined in zBrush, 3d printed, cold cast in various gold and iron powders. Finally, hand painted. Like old bas relief, woodcarvings around picture frames.

A gold bas relief.

Description

A watching space fairy, on the far left, resides in her bonkers universe. Need to add her antenna, maybe goggles. The spirals around her are ordered, structured consciousness fields. These are developed, above, into clustered thought nodes. Pure ideas and awareness existing without physical form — as befitting a bonkers universe.

Connected via flowing tendrils, to the amorphous shaped space fairies below, their combined consciousness is represented by a mush of heads, universes and thoughts. This is a quantum foam. Each ‘orb’ slightly differentiated with headphones, antenna, wings; universes, galaxies, cells; ideas, and dreams; respectively.

All of this: space fairies, universes and thoughts, move to the right as a progression of damaged, old broken universes where they will transition into the recycling of the Planck Epoch (within the next panel).

Still a long way to go…

Second frame sketch

Artistic gold metallic frame featuring cosmic elements including a central black hole, dancers resembling celestial beings, and astronomical motifs rendered in ornate baroque-style metalwork with spiral galaxies and orbital patterns on a white background

This second sketch goes in the waste bin. Thought I could bodge bits together into scenes. I see now, I need to have a visual flow, a golden section balance, if you will. And… A narrative, clockwise: 1pm the Big Bang’s Planck Epoch, 11pm the witch photographer in a spacesuit. Then, space fairies at midnight introduce the consciousness love field to Earth.

Dancing space fairies are good and black holes, but I need to do more with the swirling gas clouds and nebula.
