City Planet

This is the wide view of the city planet. I kept the buildings on the peripheral of the planet as I like the idea that sections of these planets can rotate like clock work to change the season on the weather or even the time off day.

Shops, skyscrapers and what not

I'm on the city planet. I want to have a close up of this environment. I think the best way to go about this is to create all the buildings individually and then arrange them. I added more details to the buildings by using textures and some of the graphic ad work I had made previously. Also the tubes look good here. By reducing the opacity of their layers they actually look as if they are made of glass.

Planet Park

One of the last of the peripheral background planet. All thats left if it the city and the nasty germ planet. I used ore natural textures than I have for other planets. I focused on the base planet having leafe of floral textures to highlight the fact it is a supposed to be a natural environment. This is in contrast with a lot of the other planets that have metallic textures. However it is still clear that it is a man made object from the rivets and bolt detail.

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.

Power Planet

I have been working on some specialised individual planets that could provide services to the people in the spacey suburb. I have designs for a farming planet, a city planet, a park planet and this one. I had the idea that a whole planet could act as a generator. I liked the idea of using a circuit board design so it feels mechanical and the rusty metal texture helps this. The glow on the line makes the planet seem nuclear.
