In the near future, Los Angeles is a city on the brink of evolution, struggling with a new wave of terror fueled by black-market technology. Enter Aphrodite V: a fugitive from her masters, seeking individuality and purpose. She is the bleeding edge of biomechanics, and L.A.’s best hope against a new enemy—one that seeks to become a god among machines. One machine wants to destroy the city. Another has come to save it.

Wrong. Wrong. It’s made out of paper! Paper? The paper art series is by LA-artist Vincent Tomczyk and no digital technology was used. Vincent hand-crafted all the paper and paint. All the objects have rich detail and look amazing.
