THE SWARM - THORVALDSON

A couple more pieces from my artwork for the German TV series 'Der Schwarm' (The Swarm) based on Frank Schätzing's bestseller from 2004. The Thorvalson is the ship where the final act of the series is mostly set. Towards the end the story gets progressively more scifi. The moonpool is basically the transition between humans and Yrr. This is what we wanted to portrait in our design.

Final version of the Moonpool concept before anything was built.

Very first concept of the Moonpool. This was done at a stage when we weren't sure how far we would go down the scifi route.
