While I’ve utilized a similar “cloned cube” composition in this concept, this is the first time I’ve combined 3D elements with a 2D matte painting backdrop. While neither of these elements was overly elaborate in its complexity, I’m pleased with the resulting composition and color palette. You can see a few final concepts below (incorporated in Adobe InDesign), but head over to Ink to see the original scene along with the remaining stills.
It’s amazing what you can do with such a simple scene such as the one I’ve created here. Again, in these examples it’s about the composition and the “look” rather than a heavy emphasis on the underlying models. I call this series “Lost Souls” as it is about the vast cityscape and the isolation of the individuals who remain here. I always hesitate to alter the name of my creations as I like to stick with the name that I start with.
Interestingly enough, this scene probably would not have worked if I did not include smaller references of the woman within the scene. The key is to utilize familiar elements, such as this person, elsewhere in the scene to suggest a sense of scale.
