Concept Drawing - Machine

-

My final choice for my Machine drawing. Only using the image below as the base of the body and then implementing the other parts of the drawing going off by what I thought would make my idea look best I was able to come up with the concept of a mechanical robotic toy. Talked about in one of my earlier blogs along with another similar drawing made I wanted to expand on it more and refine the idea making the legs more accurate to that of a spiders but in a robot aesthetic and touching up on some of the line work.

I will say that I enjoyed drawing this traditionally over digitally, in regards to the thumbnail drawing. However, I believe that this would be because I devoted more time in to the Front, Back and Side drawings than I did with the thumbnail and in the long run achieving a finished form for the concept. In conclusion though I stick to my thought brought up in my previous that I would definitely enjoy making a mini series of these tiny robotic toys.

    Have you started invisible cities yet? Forget the summer project now and focus on that. Start getting some thumbnails up, also watch your blog width and the size of your images.

Das Cabinet Des Dr. Caligari (1920) Movie Review

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, also known as Das Cabinet Des Dr. Caligari (1920), is a German silent horror film, directed by Robert Wiene and written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. The Film tells the story a hypnotist who uses a somnambulist, a sleep walker, to commit murders. The contorted sets, contrasting areas of light and dark lighting, and unique set design all feed into the films story within a story narrative. The use of the angular buildings within the city fuel the idea that the story is an expression of a lunatic’s perception of his own reality in which nothing that he is telling us is in fact true but rather a figment of his imagination. If we at look at what we believe to be the main antagonist; Dr. Caligari we can see major changes in his character progression near the end of the film starting of as a sideshow hypnotist. Caligari then goes to an insane asylum director trying to replicate the experiments of an 18th century mystic named Caligari to a madman who must...

What If? Metropolis - Compositions

-

So these are some of my ideas expanded for the What If? Metropolis project. I have the idea that the city is very clustered buildings being close together creating a sense of claustrophobia. For some of the compositions I needed to create a natural source of light as the city is based underground and does not received any light from the sun. I came up with a couple ideas lava pools being one of them but the more interesting idea was a natural plant that grows in this underground city and a crystal that lets of dim light. The idea for the plant was having the leaves be a very stoney gray, which it mimics from its surroundings, however they leaves are organic and feel as such; when they bloom they have this pearl in the centre that gives of a dim red light creating a source of light for the inhabitants to navigate through their city. Furthering the idea, these pearls could be harvested and used to create more intricate sources of light such as a lamp. Going back to the lava source thi...
