Temper05 Spacecraft Design

Original design for scouting spacecraft used in my transposal of 'The Tempest.' Supposedly a small scouting vehicle, built for two people with a small amount of emergency supplies. Incapable of space travel, designed to roam and explore planet surfaces.

Specialist Pathway: Environment concept art.

Two pieces of concept art done in order to explore the environment of the planet I was creating as a set for my interpretation of 'The Tempest.' Looking at both the planet as a whole and the climate on land itself.
The image on top was drawn with reference to other artists work through research of planet surfaces.

Final outfit with accessories over the top of the jumpsuit. New features include helmet, chest piece, shoulder pad, gloves and boots.

Guildhall Reference Photos


Above are images from the leaflet that Andy gave us during the guildhall briefing. It was explained what it is we'll be constructing and the process of making we'll be following. The inspirational contextual images were of Kits Coty (pictured below), which provided us with references of rock shapes, colour palette and a source for scenic painting.

Character Concept Art; The Tempest.


Ariel concept art for interpretation of 'The Tempest' from the project I've just completes at university. 
Thought it a good time to begin getting into regular blog updates again, as blogging will be a part of the module next term, there's no time like the present to attempt turning it into a regular habit! 
My idea for Ariel was that instead of being a fantasy based ethereal spirit or fairy, instead they're a piece of non-physical software or interface, that can be seen to the audience and characters as a hologram. 

Caliban concept art.
After being referred too as 'moon-calf' from one of the other characters, I decided to incorporate bovine features into my interpretation of the monster Caliban. 
The symbols seen are representative of the planets Earth and Saturn, which are the planets I drew inspiration from during the design period of this project. Having tattoos or brand marks also show ownership to Prospero, who calls to him as his slave. The scythe is used to both defend from unknown monsters on the planet, and harvest food for the humans Caliban serves. No breathing apparatus is needed for this character as he is native to the planet.
