The Atlantean Invasion — Fantasy Worldbuilding & Character Design (+video documentary)
The Rise of the Atlanteans is an illustrated fantasy history from my long-term worldbuilding project, unKnown World of Ída.
This chapter explores the first Atlantean invasion of Ída, the cultures and warriors who faced them, and the conflicts that shaped the early history of the continent.
Video is the result of more than a year of work on this project.
The project combines fantasy history, worldbuilding, ancient cultures, warfare, character design, concept art and visual storytelling, inspired by prehistoric and ancient civilizations.
unKnown World of Ída is a long-term fictional history and worldbuilding project developed through illustration, character design, maps, lore and visual storytelling.
I document everything on my Patreon (more than 180 posts) - from the first sketch and idea to the final illustrations and stories.

The goal is to create the feeling of discovering the history of a world that never existed.
