This is lovely, it reminds me a bit of Karan S'Jet from Homeworld and the calligraphy in the background does the contrasting mix of old tradition and new technology that has always drawn me. Beautiful, and inspired.Β

Thank you! Β I haven't been previously acquainted with Homeworld. Β Did a quick web search on Karan S'Jet and Homeworld. Β Seems like a game with a fascinating backstory.

Interesting. It's like her connecting cables....are her hairstyle, at the same time. Are those screens quickly flashing all of the info she's downloading or something?

An awesome merger of historical culture and futuristic scifi. I marvel that this is even possible with vector art!

You're welcome. I can imagine, it looks extremely difficult to do with vectors (even with pixels it doesn't look too easy).

wow, that's interesting! Is there a story behind this character? Looks like he's getting the information from the texts of the computers through his hair, isn't it? Cool concept, and I love the whole composition

The first link does not work :s
I find it terrible that people try to destroy ancient knowledge, and you are right, it would be great to get all this information inside our heads so it doesn't get lost.
I remember long time ago I read a Spanish book about a girl who had to memorize a whole book because it was going to be banned... I don't remember all details, but I remember that she associated each chapter or paragraph of the book with different parts of her house, so it was easier for her to remember. It was pretty interesting, it's a shame I can't remember the title or the author of the book

Sounds like a fascinating story! Β Was it historical fiction? Β If you ever remember the author/title, please let me know.
Here's the first link again: Β wolfberrystudio.blogspot.com/2β¦
Should work this time. I

Yeap, I'll let you know if I find out! I've looked everywhere on google but I can't find it... I'll ask my friends.
I'm not sure if it was fiction at all, for I read it too many years ago and my memory is quite bad. But I'm sure that the story takes place in a real period of history.
Oh, this link...I already read that in the description of the image you posted. It's really interesting!

Great, thanks for looking into it!

I've found it!!!! The book is called "The memory house" (in Spanish it's "La casa de la memoria"). The author of the book is LucΓa Graves. I read it in Spanish, but I see that there is an English translation.
Here you can find the synopsis: www.florin.com/authors/lucia-mβ¦
I hope you can read it; it's really interesting

Thanks so much! Β I just put in book purchase request with my local library. I hope they buy the Memory House.
