Interview w/Ash Carrera - Diversity in Fantasy Art & Worldbuilding | Afro Futurism Solar Punk Sci Fi

I'm such a big fan of Ash's and when I stumbled across her art account featuring POC / women characters in a gorgeous, sci-fi esque, alternate universe it was love at first sight!

"Terra Solera started as a fun personal project to keep me motivated in making art and learning new skills. However, since then, it has turned into something that has allowed me to explore my love for fantasy/sci-fi, create a positive space for artists, and most importantly, represent minorities in fantasy. This world takes place thousands upon thousands of years after a collapsed civilization where man almost destroyed their planet in hopes to gain power over each other, nature, and the ancient beings who oversaw the Terralunic crystals. Although some inhabitants of the planet were born with or learned magic on their own, these crystals imbued their holders with great powers ranging from advanced physical abilities to unlocking knowledge of other worlds. After the destruction from war ravaged the planet, the ancient beings and crystals faded into a myth, and the remaining peoples grew to understand that a harmonious relationship with nature was key to a peaceful survival. Today, we explore this world and its secrets through the adventures of my two original characters Skaii and Finn. Although they started in two different places, their journey to find out if the myths of the old world are true have brought them together. I'm still working on the details of this world and how everything works, but am happy you're here and hope you enjoy me on this little adventure of my own!"
