From Script to Screen: Prop Design - Trophies/Medals & Photo Album

As the trophies/medals and the photo album are very important to the story, I needed to design them. I kept a consistent gold and red colour scheme throughout, with some differences here and there. I quite like these as they all have a nice cartoony feel that will suit the whimsical story.

What If? Metropolis: Orthograph - Lighthouse

These are the orthograph drawings for the lighthouse. I used the same method as when I did the drawings for the theatre: I put my original key asset drawings into photoshop and drew over them on a new layer on photoshop. The lighthouse is very simple in it's design, which is completely different to  the theatre which is very unique and abstract. Most of Riley's work has clean straight lines, and I want the lighthouse to represent that. These drawings do look identical because the lighthouse  looks the same all the way round. The island that it is on is an abstract shape, and the island can be reached by boat.

What If? Metropolis: Orthograph - Theatre

These are my orthograph drawings for the theatre. I put my previous key asset drawings into Photoshop, and drew over them on a new layer. As you can see, they are simple line drawings with no detail/tone, which is very useful for when I need to model it. I am very happy with this design as it is quit similar to my thumbnails and has an abstract style that works well with Riley's work.

What If? Metropolis: Key Asset - Theatre - Drawing

With most of Bridget Riley's work, it is very simple and clean, but often has very strange forms and unclear patterns in them. The Theatre in the city will be the most detailed and most unique as the rest of the buildings will be very simple with crisp edges, like Bridget Riley's work. Like the lighthouse, I wanted to do it in my sketch book because I could do it quickly and see how more obscure it can become through drawing it fast. I'm very happy with how it looks as it is very abstract and will be hard to read/understand when it is fully rendered in Maya.

What If? Metropolis: Key Asset - Lighthouse - Drawing

Although my lighthouse is very simple in design, it is very important to the city as it is it's main light source. I wanted to draw my key assets in my sketch book because I look the rough style that I have and it manages to demonstrate what the final lighthouse will look like.
