Prisoner of the Mind NFT Art


This collection will be updated frequently so check back soon. 


PRISONER OF THE MIND is a neo-noir thriller 16 years in the making. The story is set in the near future of New York, the unforgiving city. On the outside the city looks a little different. Buildings are taller, the sky is a little darker, technology is more advanced and machines have replaced some human workers. Nevertheless, people are the same inside, hungry, greedy, and deceitful.

Prisoner of the Mind graphic novel has over 300 pages in Volume 1, and is also sold as a serialized comic in 5 issues. It is written and illustrated by Linder over a sixteen year period.

Below are a series of one of a kind NFT art that was created using original hand made drawings from the graphic novel, inked, and animated. Some of this artwork was created for the graphic novel animated trailer. The unlockable content is a digital copy of the first issue of Prisoner of the Mind.

First Look at QE props. UPDATED!


Quantum Enigma Mothership is ready to fly.


After many long months of model building and lighting tests, she's finally ready to set sail.


A few close ups of some of the detail.


This is the zone lighting controls that were created to get the right lighting in different parts of the ship for different shots.


Here are some more details for this studio sized kit bashed model.


You can see there are lots of different types of weathering on this model.


This ship looks like it's been around a while.


This shot is of the scratch built mothership model created from a series of concept design sketches.


The model will be used to film various sequences in space and with the shuttle flying out of the landing bay.


Here is a close up of the model which is still a work in progress.


Testing scale with miniatures and then getting the wiring correct for all led lights and fiber optic cable.


Here's a shot of the space shuttle prop used in the Short film.


The full ship here. We will do an entire post with lots of close up images of this ship soon.


Three of the Quantum Enigma robots used in the short film and teaser trailer.


This is the animatronic Grifon 1 robot used for space exploration in Quantum Enigma.



Here are a couple of shots with some of the lighting activated.


This robot has 4 remote controls and usually requires 2 people to animate it. Grifon and the other bots are created from a range of found objects, kitbashed parts, electronics, 3d printed parts, sheet metal and foam. All hand painted to have an aged, weathered look for the film.


These are images of the animatronic robot prop GRIFON 1 rover from the work bench of the artist.


We will have a full write up on this rover complete with build log and video in the coming months prior to release of the film.



Here's a full shot of the robot being prepped for a scene.


A little better angle while changing batteries.


A shot of the Astronaut suit and G.R.I.F.O.N. 1 on the green screen set.



Above is a life size android hand and blaster prop used in the Quantum Enigma live action trailer and short film. Linder is also a sculptor and has done several props and effects for TV and film. This exciting piece already tells a story without any caption needed.


These two close-ups really show the detail of this prop. This is the Alien blaster used in the film.


Here's another close up of the same blaster.


Above are images of the prop build for the astronaut helmet used in the film. Below are more detailed images of the finished prop.



Lots of details and added lighting.


Final helmet all lit up with fan installed for night time shots.


Another daylight close up.




Below are some of the creatures that will be seen in the film.


There will be numerous static creatures as well as some animatronic ones.


This guy is one of the animatronic puppet creatures that waddles along in the film.







One of the rough character sketches for this one.



Check back for updates.




NONAGON The world's first Crypto Noir NFT art series and story





Quantum Enigma Comic Book Update!



We know updates for Quantum Enigma have been slow. It takes a lot of work to create not only a Comic Book but a Live Action Trailer, Short Film, NFT art and much more for the comic book, so we do as much as possible. 

Good news! 
We are getting closer to the release of this book. You only have to wait until the end of this year for the release of Quantum Enigma in print and digital. 

We are keeping updates on our progress in a few places while you wait patiently. In between updates, we will continue to post stories from around the globe about science, space and science fiction as it pertains to our own project here.

Areas that have been updated:

Storyboards: Here we will continue to bring storyboard thumbnails sketches and changes for the live action trailer.

Concept Art: A lot of interesting art leading up to the finished ideas. Multiple changes are made frequently to work out problems and detail of the props and effects that we are trying to create. We will continue to drop new art here all the time.

Props, Animatronics and Practical Effects: This is the good stuff that takes so long to make. After we sketch it all down, it is s trial and error process using various materials to create a practical effect and prop. We'll try to update this area as much as possible.

Behind the Scenes: This is some behind the scenes shots from production of the trailer and more.

Film Festivals: During this process we are submitting our teaser and soon to be trailer to various film festivals which are responding very well to our work.

If you've waited this long, it will be worth it. Check back in for more details soon.



Dark Matter might be explained by the Multiverse

 


A new study theorizes that black holes made of collapsed universes originate dark matter, and our own universe may look like a black hole to outsiders.

For years, scientists have been trying to solve the mystery of dark matter, an unexplained substance that accounts for the majority of the universe's mass. Though dark matter does not emit detectable light, scientists know that it exists due to its gravitational effects on galaxy clusters and other radiant objects in space.
