Science Fiction forward (part 1) by Author Jamie Noe

Here is an article I have written about some of the background and perspective thinking that drives the mechanics and philosophy of the "Seals of Creation" book series. I have been so busy writing the 2nd book in the series (name to be released soon) that I had not had a chance to sit down and give readers a little insight into the series and I wanted to compose this article for every ones benefit. "Seals of Creation book 1 Awakening" is out and with the 2nd books manuscript already nearing the 3rd quarter of completion. So I hope everyone enjoys this article. The full article is available on my blog.

"Quest and Wildcard"

This is the latest piece of character art I have created for my book series "Seals
of Creation" book 1 "Awakening" is available on Amazon.com and Createspace.

The art style is Japanese Anime/Manga style. Created in high resolution this new
piece of art depicts a back profile view of Quest and a front profile view of his teammate Wildcard standing on top of a ship with another ship in the background firing an energy weapon. I am creating the character art while writing the second book in the "Seals of Creation" series to give people a visual context for the story and some of its content.

I want to give everyone a chance to read the prologue and first sub-chapter of my
book. I also want to offer readers a more comprehensive description of the story.

House for "Arthur and the rain" demo

In this 3D Studio Max project I re-tooled a house for an animation called "Arthur
and the rain." These 3 images are V-Ray versions of the house that I set in a
neutral studio setting. Some of the demo work for this project can be viewed at the
following links. The house is a low poly project with only slightly more then 3000
poly's. I added UVW mapped textures with additional bump and normals maps for the
project owners to have options with additionally.

This is the final version of the Wicked Horizon Designs 2013 animation. Created in 3D Studio Max for the up-coming WickedHorizonDesigns.com website. The logo and effects of the scene have a nice shift from red to green with some added lens effects using Video Post. The logo spins from its central pivot point in opposite directions. This version includes the letters W,H & D which is stationary inside the logo spin. I used a high reflective gloss material type for the glowing effect material I.D's. The scene maps are all U.V.W with added bump maps for depth. The final version has been rendered using the Cebas Final Render plugin to render out
the PNG frames. I compiled the frames using Adobe After Effects and adjusted the frame rate from film rate which is 24 fps to N.T.S.C 29.97 fps.

I have completed the back cover design for the book and here you get your first look at "Quest" the main character.

Seals of Creation: Book 1 "Awakening"

( From the book Jacket)

Twenty-year cycles ago, the galactic unity was ripped apart. Since then, the Betrayers have blazed a fiery path across the galaxy, resulting in massive destruction and endless suffering. Based on the need to survive, the remaining free worlds have banded together to form a makeshift alliance.

Tetra Prime has become the new official capital for the alliance. The new capital however, is far from perfect, grappling with its own international struggles. In the midst of the greater galactic threat, Quest, a cadet fresh out of training, finds he is destined to play a pivotal role in the preservation of all life, and creation itself.

Seals of Creation Book 1 "Awakening"

This is a flat nautical map version of the map I created for the planet on the book
cover. I decided to add this map into my art pack I am creating for the book. It has
the names of the major continents of Tetra Prime so that when you read the book you
have a visual perspective of the layout of my creation.

The final 3 rendered images for the Fallout game environment I created using 3D Studio Max & Vray are completed. The scene as a whole is vast so I wanted to give a number of perspectives ranging from distance views of the entire area.
