MetaFlora

Welcome to the world of metaFlora!

A forest bathed in the golden light of dusk, where the air, thick with mystery, whispered through the gnarled branches, served as the stage for this game. Three children, Jörk, Anel, and Kira, scampered between the trees, their laughter echoing like a lost reverberation in the heart of the world. But then, their steps faltered. Something strange hung in the air, and their eyes widened in wonder Small green lights danced between the shadows, as though a constellation had descended into the forest. They looked like insects, but their glow was unusual, almost magical, casting a soft, enveloping light in the dimness.

MetaFlora

MetaFlora is an ambitious work that merges the best of classic fantasy with an innovative narrative inspired by Norse myths and a reinterpretation of the mythology. In a world where magic and epic tales intertwine, MetaFlora tells the story of heroic characters, mythical lands, and a struggle for survival in a universe that pushes the boundaries of imagination.

Naturally, the saga carries a deeper message that the author seeks to convey, but it is the reader who must uncover it and be dazzled by its meaning.

My proposal is not just a comic but a unique multimedia experience, presented as an interactive digital comic with animations that bring the most crucial moments to life, allowing for total immersion into the world of MetaFlora. Each panel will gain movement and emotion, inviting the reader to engage deeply with the story.


2. The MetaFlora Saga

This is the first story in a saga of 14 +1 interwoven narratives, developed over 7,000 years and across three different worlds:

  • Terra Prima: A world where all continents are united around an inland sea. The first four stories: Kandam, Eklipsa, MetaFlora and Ragnarök, take place here.
  • Terra Veccia: A world with separate continents, similar to Earth, where six stories unfold.
  • Terra Nova: A world where continents reunite once more, setting the stage for the final four stories.

The Call of the Hero

Stories of superheroes and legendary figures embody the essence of storytelling—the eternal journey of the brave soul. Answering their ancestral call, they abandon their old self to be reborn into a new identity, forged in adventure, danger, and the pursuit of immortality. In a world of fantasy, where myths and destiny intertwine, the hero does not merely fight but transforms, transcending time and memory.

Norse Mythology

My stories also weave together the most crucial elements, symbols, and figures of Norse mythology, such as Yggdrasil, the world tree connecting the nine realms; Odin, the supreme god of wisdom and sacrifice; Thor, the guardian of thunder and unyielding strength; Loki, the trickster of a thousand faces; Fenrir, the wolf of destiny; Jörmungandr, the Great Serpent of the World; the Norns, the weavers of fate; and Ragnarök, the eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth.

These myths are reimagined across new dimensions of space, time, and meaning, breathing life into a narrative where the legendary transforms into the unexpected.

3. Creative process

Working with models allows me to immerse myself in the essence of my characters, granting them a tangible presence and a well-defined identity. What was once a fleeting vision takes form, gaining physicality, expression, and a heartbeat of its own. Through this interaction, the characters are enriched with deeper nuances, enabling me to develop their stories with greater authenticity and emotion.

Cosplay

Cosplay is an intrinsic part of my creative process. In collaboration with models, we select and adapt costumes to get as close as possible to the character we are bringing to life. In this process, the models’ spontaneity and creativity play an essential role, allowing them to contribute their own interpretation to the character.

The most important aspect is their ability to embody and fully assume the role, conveying its essence naturally. In the creation of specific scenes, models are expected to master dynamic poses that express action and movement. Additionally, they must handle weapons such as swords, daggers, axes, bows, and arrows with confidence and precision, ensuring they hold and move them in a way that conveys an impending action. These poses are fundamental to the development of the comic, bringing realism and energy to the illustrations.

AI in the Creative Process

Working with artificial intelligence allows me to generate key visualizations for my projects, whether for photoshoots, character design, the creation of fantasy settings, or any other element my imagination requires to shape a cohesive visual narrative. AI does not replace creativity—it enhances it, becoming an essential tool in my artistic and storytelling process.


4. Artistic Proposal

Just as Renaissance artists gave new context to their works by liberating them from the religious constraints of their time and embracing Greek mythology, my work seeks to carve its own iconographic path through an original narrative. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of classical Greek art and the world-building mastery of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, my work aspires to reach its highest expression through powerful visual storytelling.

At the heart of my proposal is the creation of a unique iconography—a symbolic system that does not merely reinterpret existing mythologies but establishes its own visual and narrative language. The goal is not just to illustrate a story but to imbue it with symbols, archetypes, and aesthetics that reinforce its identity and elevate it as a self-contained and coherent universe.

For centuries, visual artists depended on intellectuals and patrons to define the themes of their creations. However, we live in an era where the artist can—and must—tell their own story without intermediaries. We are not immune to the influence of modern and postmodern culture, with the massification of media and universal access to knowledge. Today, storytelling and mythology are no longer exclusive to an intellectual elite but have become accessible languages for all. It is in this context that my work comes to life: a reinterpretation of myths, an exploration of the symbolic, and the construction of an iconography that, through visual art, expresses a universe deeply rooted in imagination.

7. Comic Artistic Style

In search of a unique visual style, prototypes are tested to define the style, this includes details such as the color palette, the stroke of the lines giving contour to the figures and the degree of stylization of the drawings. In this creative process everything is valid to reach the result; prototypes are created with AI, digital and handmade illustrations, everything can be mixed on the computer to achieve digital results, since the main product to be marketed will be the digital comic. To do this, we work with Midjorney, seaart.ai, PhotoShop, illustrator, InDesign, Premier, ProCreate and 3D Blend

    MetaFlora is truly a unique and multi-layered project that combines classic fantasy, mythology, and modern multimedia technologies. I appreciate how the interactive elements add a new dimension to the storytelling experience. The visual style is well-thought-out and inspired by classical art, which makes the project even more expressive.
