Robo Rhi before bed

Just before bed, because I remembered about her, here is robot Rhian listening to The Black Keys because she's awesome. There are sketches and marker pen coloured versions for her too. Again, they will be online when I'm less exhausted. Wednesday is a long and bonkers day on the course. It should be easier after christmas though and the Entrepreneurship module ends. Also, I can to to yoga then too = Happy Robo Rhi!

Me or Clara?

I've been working on my ultimate image. I have an extremely detailed cutout character based on me. It took about two hours but I'm really happy with her especially after not expecting it to go well at all. Now I can't wait to be well rested and finish the rest. I am photographing the work properly on Thursday but I took a quick pic of her using my Retro Camera app on my phone. I was going for a fairly vintage style anyway. I think she looks a lot like Clara Bow the silent star of the 1920's in this picture. She does not really at all in the flesh......or paper I guess.

Pod Backgrounds

The pod house is a little awkward perspectivly. As it is round I have to design as if through a fish eye lens. Its challenging. lets leave it at that. I changed the sort of layout from pre produection. I moved the floor up inside the pod so that there would be more floor space. Instead of separating out each room like the living room and kitchen into a separate part of the pod. I gave it a more open plan layout similar to the layouts that became fashionable in 1950's living space. I think its helping with that retro funky look as well as making for much nicer backgrounds. As it is a pod with limited space, fusing kitchen, living room and dinning room into one space makes a lot of sense, spacialy. Its still very rough and needs a lot of perspective adjustment. Im happy with the colour scheme. I have the colours follow through from section to section. The pink from the living room follows through to the kitchen, then the yellow from the kitchen follows through to the dinning room.

Tron Style

Very, very, very quick test for how the light would work on the the space suit. I like the idea that the suit produces its own light so they can all see each other in space. I decided to reference tron as a bit of an inside joke to all the science nerds.

Fingers crossed last background

Most of the background work I have done of late has been interior stuff. There was one more I wanted to try which would be a exterior, wide shot, of the city planet. Also it would be one I would like to attempt completely digitally. Here are some vectory shop designs.

More ad's

I've been doing a lot of work on the interior background spaces this past week. Hopefully they will be ready fro scanning today or tommorrow. For now here are some more adverts that will appear in the exterior shots on billboards and as poster. They also contain a few props that would appear in the show shuch Nuclear Ovens and Umbrellas designed to protect agains meteor showers. I created a large 'family orintated' company that could produce house hold stuff in the future similar to a company like General Electric today. I called them Anderson's as these sort of companies often like to prortray a family frienly image and one way they do so is by using the founders surname ie. Jergen's or Johnson and Johnson. 

Opps been a while...

This must be one of the longest spells I've gone without uploading anything. So I've been working a lot on the sort of additional details for the world. I think detail is important as it will make the series more beliveable. These are billboard designs. I still need to design billboards to mount them onto and I'm toying with the idea of having them on separate planets as well as (or instead of) on top of buildings. Its been fun coming up with futuristic product ideas as well as researching ad campaigns from the '50's. I think they have that sort of vintage look while seeming futuristic. I think the content juxtaposes with the style. Also, these are still fairly rough in places. I need clean vector style robots in two of them.

Props and things

After the sweatbox I was up till twenty to four preparing for I was told to start on background and environment work. So I started with props. I want to create a powder room as well as some exterior environments tomorrow. These are two of the chair designs in use. Also I think this will be the basis for one other adverts I want to design. I see myself producing a few billboards and the like to advertise products available in this future to make the world seem more believable. This will be for one in which robot ladies can purchase various hair styles and weld them in place with the gun in the picture.

Robo Lady

I like Pin Up art, I also Like science Fiction, I decided to mix the two with this Robot Pin-up! There are a few other robots I need to upload still, so more on the way :)
