Colourful Spacey People

I coloured the characters for the graphics I am produing. I am happy with these characters. I wanted them to show a culture in the future that is still very obsessed with youth culture and being young. I wanted the fashion to look very futuristic. I think the colour has helped the design to achieve this look. The colours work well together not just on a single character but between the graphics. I used the futuristic fashions in The Hunger Games as inspiration.

Spacey Ladies

Just a few sketches for a couple more graphics I'm working on. I'm not sure I have enough for that part of the project but thats the same for all parts of the project so either I'm really behind or I have really low confidence in the work. Anyway I can get into uni to get them scanned and coloured so these will have to do for now. These will be futuristic billboards for a club called The Atom Bar!

Amy's Pond

This is a closeup of the pond section of the park planet. I will have some character interaction on a boat here soon which I'm looking forward to doing. I called it Amy's Pond as a little Doctor Who reference, there are a few about, try and spot them ;-)

School Planet

This is the school planet as I have it at the moment. I added children's chalk drawings and hopscotch grids as well as a road sign to help it seem more authentic. The design is like a lolipop. I had it that way since its first designs as I thought it would be a way of enticing children to go to school. Sort of like an intergalactic child catcher. However I spoke with one of my lecturers and the reason the farm planet is successful is because the barn looks like a barn so maybe I will change the school to look more like a traditional school, but with a modern twist.

Space Sheep

This is the finished background for a close up view of the farm planet. I want to have a few scenarios play out in this environment. I'd like the kids to steal some of the robo sheep and rid them around the planet. It would be a class field trip and the robo teacher and their sister (who was forced to go and look after them) try to catch them.

The Capitol

Complete with little floating hover cars and billboards, this one took some time. Not just making all the little sections but arranging them so that it wouldn't seem too uniform. I want the flat style I have been creating to be present here too but I also wanted to add a little depth so I added blurs in place as well as deciding where around the planet to arrange the shops. I want nods to existing science fiction. One of the billboards is for Ewok adoption, another is for T.A.R.D.I.S Travel. I called it the Capitol after the evil glittering, shallow Capitol in The Hunger Games. Also one of the stores is called Effies' Trinkets.

These are example of some of the billboards that float around. Also, this is a bubble car as it stands so far. This is may first time trying to create the vehicles using vectors. I think I may add a control panel, steering wheel and mirrors. It just seems like it needs something.

Space Park

This is the small park planet that the characters can go to to blow off a little steam on the weekends. I have a few ideas for character interactions in this area. There will be large peacock style robotic birds running around so I think one of the kids could aggravate one and get chased by one. I want dad to be happily fishing on the boat as the naughty kid steals his fish off the end of the line before his sister takes it off him and he resorts to fishing with a ray gun. I want to have a few other little details in the closer background like birds in the trees and fish jumping out of the water. I also put a lot more thought into some more detailed trees as I had mostly shrubs and bush type plants thus far.
