Introduction
This summer when Transformers hit the big screen, it soon raised up the heat in theaters all over the world. I even went to see the film again particularly for this artwork, in order to get a more vivid feel of the scene, as well as searching for ideas. It is very crucial for a creator to foresee the image in his own mind, and knowing if it would make a good artwork or not. I wanted to create a scene filled with tension and drama, just like a still photographs from the film.
Concepts
.: Design the movement :.
By starting to plan the work, I wanted to bring out the tension and conflict as priority, which led me to an explosive dueling scene that would draw audiences into the work. It troubled me a lot when deciding the duel should happen during daytime or nighttime. In the end I picked daytime which can have a strong contrast and variation of lights as my background. First I started a sketch, designing actions.
Because the first design of poses were not very good, I decided to redesign the composition and drafted the sketch of the surrounding building. At this moment I begin to think of where is the source of lighting.
.: Architectures :.
I redesign the poses, as well as polished buildings. Even though Transformers were based on science fiction and they came from outer space, the story happened on Earth. So I wanted to bring in architectures that have a traditional feeling, something like a museum, in order to emphasize the contrast between high tech machines and classical images.
