Cinematic Spaces: Plants 2.0.

Some more ideas of scary plants growing during the Lunar Morning (done in our Photoshop classes 19.10.2012).

1.                                                                     2.                                                               3.

After completing third one I started playing with hue/saturation, trying different colours in order to achieve even more toxic feeling. Here is what I ended up with:

Right now they seem to vivid but after placing them into actual concept they might work pretty well.

Finally I started working on the second excerpt - "Experiments in the Intercourse" (H.G. Wells, "The First Men in the Moon"). I found it more exciting, probably because of the mysterious apparatus and slightly different surroundings.

Also, I acted upon the advice and decided to look through Victorian era, in order to find inspiration for the machine. Here are the silhouettes I managed to make so far:

Three further developed projects:

 

"(...) we emerged from our chamber into the cavern from which the light had come (...). But at last the great place that formed a background to our movements asserted itself."

First two concepts of the cavern. 

In the first picture I started by drawing the machine. To be honest, I found it so amusing, that I decided to take it a step further and that's when all these additional "mysterious apparatus" projects came from.

From now on, I would like to focus on the surroundings and environment more, than on the machine itself, although I'm going to come back to it when doing the final concept.

Cinematic Spaces: Additional Drawings

I decided to take a day off from doing thumbnails and tried to design the "mysterious apparatus" which G.H. Wells' characters approached in chapter 14 - "Experiments in intercourse".

"The meaning and structure of this huge apparatus I cannot explain, because we neither of us learned what it was for or how it worked. One after another, big shaft of metal flung out and up from its centre, their heads travelling in what seemes to me to be a parabolic path; each dropped a sort of dangling arm as it rose towards the apex of its flight and plunged down into a vertical cylinder forcing this down before it."

And here some projects of big shafts of metal:
