Synopsis

From Steambot Studios, the cutting edge team of digital artists and concept designers who are currently working on the hotly anticipated blockbuster "Tron 2", comes "Exodyssey", a stunning 'art of' book which acts as an introduction to an epic new sci-fi saga, set in a brilliantly realised future world. It's not a movie or a video game...yet! Mixing character and vehicle designs with fully painted 'production art'-style visuals of environments, from a polluted future Earth to the Moon, Mars, and beyond into deep space and the mysterious planet code-named 'Samhuinn', the book outlines the voyage of Harry, a highly gifted engineer, and his dysfunctional team of followers, as they escape an evil empire and make first contact with extra-terrestrial life. Steambot Studios is a collective of five digital artists working in the world of visual Entertainment, whether it be films, TV or video games. Vyle (David Levy), Viag (Nicola: Ferrandi), Barontieri (Thierry Doizon), Feerik (Joel Dos Reis Viegas) and Rainart (Sebastien Larroude) have worked for, amongst others, Walt Disney Imagineering, EA, Eidos, Hasbro and Activision. They are based in Montreal, and this is their first book.
