Test Render

This is a render of my new model from sketchup in deep exploration. I've applied reflective and metallic materials to all of the surfaces to see what effects it gives the image.

Project 2 Initial Sketches

these sketches are developing my final hierarchy model from the first project towards a more refined model regarding the structures as figures in space.

Rhythm Final

This was initially my model from a figure ground concept sketch, but after repeating the model and then finding this view in Sketch-Up with the wire-frame mode on, I have found that this is the best representation of rhythm that I have in my work. I have not added any entourage other than the fog and style in Sketch-Up because the model displays rhythm clearly by itself.

RHYTHM

Datum Final

Below is my final for datum, where the model is the main focus of the image but it is also drawn along a perspective line back towards the point that is at the centre of the black hole in the background, creating a main focal point in the image.

DATUM

Hierarchy Final

This below was initially a model from symmetry, but it better represents hierarchy with the different sizes of the same model, as they work with each other to create an aesthetic where nothing is fighting for the focus of the image and they all create a nice flow into the image towards the faded background. The small figure introduced gives a sense of the epic scale that these structures have.

HIERARCHY

Figure Ground Final

This model below is my final for figure ground although it was initially modeled for datum. I ended up creating a composition by repeating the model I created for datum that displays figure ground much more than datum, and I then played with the entourage to add another figure and also a background to heighten the sense of a figure and a background within  the composition.

FIGURE GROUND

Symmetry Final

This image below is my final image for symmetry. I created this repeated star model for the purpose of it being symmetrical  and after some repetition and the use of X-ray face style in sketchup I found this view of the model, which had some parts that looked like stylised wolf or bat heads,  so for the entourage here I have added a faint wolf head symbol.
