BUILDING BETTER WORLDS
AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO THE FUTURE
In these three videos I break down the steps needed to create your new universes …
HOW ONE BIG IDEA IS ESSENTIAL TO START YOUR NEW WORLD…
WHY YOU NEED TO PLOT OUT WHAT HAPPENS AND WHY OVER AN EXTENDED TIMELINE…
(AS AN EXAMPLE HERE’S MINE)
ONCE YOU HAVE THE IDEA AND TIMELINE, USE IT TO IMPACT YOUR CHARACTERS AND CREATE A GRIPPING NOVEL…
These three videos explain how I approached the Cortex universe, and will guide you in your own world building. All of this takes time of course, but three years (and seven books later), I find myself with hundreds of illustrations 3-d models and photoshop files that continually add to the world building. They are viable here:
3D FILES
PHOTOSHOP FILES
I hope you like the designs and the theories behind their development. At times it’s been a long, lonely road doing this and I’d love to hear your thoughts on these pieces. If you have equipment designs of your own—or comments on how I can improve mine—join my mailing list and let me know at jim@jimkeen.com! I’d love to see what you’re doing 😀Now lets take a deeper dive into the future…
