The Curse of the Cosmos - Visual Development

This was a visual development assignment I did in high school, and the challenge was to create a fictional world and characters that live in it. What was really helpful about this assignment was that I learned how to apply criticism to my work. It's also really cool to see how I've improved during the course of this project!
