Sorry for tripple posting one image, the system here is a little janky. Didnt think it worke dthe first time.
So i havent had a lot of time to work on this yet but here is what i have.
The concept is still in the works. The idea is a question, “who is in control?” The image is going to be of a king kong style monster rampaging in a metropolis. The monster is a mecha with a human operator. There has been a malfunction though and the human opperator is trapped inside. He does not want the mecha to rampage, but he lost control of the Mecha. His attempts to get out are misrepreseted by the Mecha and are translated into a pounding action that is wreaking havoc on the city. The way i figured this would work is if an army of soldiers is trying to stop the Mecha and have disabled his legs and right arm. bur the left arm is still out of control and pounding the crap out of averything in sight. This is the basic plot of the illustration.
Thhe challlenge is to convey all this without confusing the hell out of the viewer with a complicated composition.
So far, Image #2 is the best sollution i’ve found. There is a close up of the mecha’s face with the human pilot’s erratic behavior. This is the main point of the illustration. Then in the negative space i will have a reflection of the mecha wrecking havoc reflected in a building opposite from the Mecha.
My next step is i’m gonna model a city street and an simplified Mecha in MAYA and play around with the coposition and camera angles. then use that as a reference for the final sketch.
I’m also gonna push myself to try to come up with a better soluttion for this illustration. If anyone has any suggestions, please help me out. and don’t be afraid to critique the heall out of this.
