Environmental Design - Simon's Laser
Added 2023-08-14 16:58:36 +0000 UTC[Key to the Future’s Fate is currently on HIATUS. The story will return with CHAPTER 3 on AUGUST 24TH. In the meantime, please enjoy this CONCEPT ART for the series!]
I tested out a new method with developing the environment for the Chapter 2 Intermission. I still went out to gather a TON of refs, but this time, I sat down to examine each of them for elements that I could specifically reference for regards to the setting /I/ wanted to make.
Specifically, the Intermission features a terrible 80s house setting that we'll get to see more in the future, a sports car, and a "garage" - none of which are things that I've really drawn before!
Hence, the lists. Again, as usual, I probably got way more information than I'd really ever make use of, but it did help me with developing a sense of place for this Intermission scene.
In terms of actual /drawings/, this is the page where I practiced THAT BIG FREAKY LASER SIMON SEEMS TO HAVE FOR SOME REASON. That laser posed a real challenge, since it's not strictly limited to one form, and it needed to be able to switch. I also eventually got the idea to include some clock motifs as well (because he's a time traveler, you see, haha), and that served to complicate it as well... but also give it an identity.
