Why Bother Making Science-Fiction Art? - Bradblogspeed.com. Collection: A Separate Realityby Alex Andreyev Often when I start a new project, whether it be a painting or piece of animation, I ask myself the question; should I avoid doing something science-fictiony this time? Usually the answer is no, but I can imagine that you might wonder why I’d consider avoiding the genre in the first place. Well, first and foremost there’s the whole “being called a nerd” thing that none of us like. And then there’s this idea out there that fantasy-based art isn’t to be taken seriously.
