Title: Geminus – A Man Lost in His Own Reflection
Project Overview:
What happens when a man can no longer tell if he’s the original or the copy?
This project explores Dr. Jean Elias Marrow, a scientist whose groundbreaking discovery in cellular duplication comes at a devastating cost. Every time he duplicates himself, he loses a part of his memory—and ages a little more.

Artistic Approach: The Cost of Power & The Loss of Self
This concept art project explores the idea of superpowers and the price that comes with them. Rather than viewing extraordinary abilities as a gift, I wanted to deconstruct what it means to lose yourself—literally and philosophically.
At its core, this project is about identity, faith, and the fragility of the human self. If you could duplicate yourself, who decides which version is real? What happens when you no longer know if you're the original? These questions drove the visual storytelling, influencing everything from character design to lighting and composition.
Visual Style & Approach:
🖌️ Comic Book Aesthetic – Dynamic panel-like compositions and strong storytelling elements, giving it a graphic, cinematic edge.
🎭 Realism with a Surrealist Twist – Grounded anatomy and realistic texturing, but with distorted, dreamlike elements to represent the psychological horror of duplication.
🔹 Philosophical Symbolism – Visual cues like fractured reflections, glitched forms, and religious iconography highlight the themes of identity, science vs. faith, and self-doubt.

This project is not just about superpowers—it's about the existential dread that comes with them. How much of yourself would you give up for the pursuit of knowledge? And at what point do you become something… unrecognizable?
Would love to hear your thoughts—how do you think cloning affects the idea of "self"?
