Yes, you got it right. Free. Although, there is one more thing … the designs and the story represent few years of development.
Of course, that time had to be taken somewhere: mostly from family, rest and social life. So If you like what you see here,

To dream in 3 Dimensional space, explore a concept, and then create a narrative, without resorting to the clichés of many before, puts this great piece of work, into the stellar league.

With his background in transportation design and an unbounded energy for learning and conceptual design, Mike Jelinek has created in “Swarmrider”, a world where creatures, vehicles, machines, characters and epic landscapes all co-exist and he has tied them all together with just a bit of science shrouded in mysterious dark matter. This work enjoys all the benefits of adventure, design and catastrophe to make a delightful read and the imagery to take one into his world where anything is possible. The amount of work it takes to dream up a world like this and then to properly envision it for the rest of us is to be marveled at. There is care in the story, the design process and the details of the concepts. I hope to see a continuation in the “Machines of Adventure” series in future.
