The Making of
Evolution of the Elements
The Beginning!
It all started in summer 2009 when i was on holiday in Los Angeles. i was sat on the famous 'long beach' sunbathing, as you do.
As i lay there i had a few ideas floating around, these were ideas for my next big college project, 3D Character Designs were my goal this year. Luckily i always carry a small notepad with me and i started writing.
The idea was to create loads of different characters and i wanted them to look cool, unique and with some sort of abilities?
I was thinking about gods and mystical creatures and loads of other things. I needed a story, one with a lot of characters! I even thought about extending some of my favorite films and do some fan fiction stories.
But i wanted something new, something people haven't seen before, something to get excited about. That's when the Elements were born!
​
The Elements were Born
College year was great i had the opportunity to create a small story and create several 3D character for my final project.
To be honest though, my 3D skills were not as good as they are now. Looking back, i cringe, everytime i see old work. But i'm glad i went through it, plus i had fun.

The idea Evolved
Then life took over and i had to get a real job, it was difficult!
By this point i had nothing to do, barely had any work, no relationship, still living with my parents in Cornwall, i even went University to do my Masters (loved every moment and met some great people!)
Then one year later on a Tuesday morning, 26th of November 2013 i was rummaging through my old college work. And that is where i found it, my next project.
i didn't know from that day on, i would be working on a book until 2021!
