Unique Properties: “Futuristic City” envisions a future city where futuristic architecture incorporates elements of art deco, art nouveau and Roman styles, creating a harmonious fusion of classic aesthetics and innovation.
Dimensions & Packaging: Futuristic City#1 595.9 mm x 254 mm, 300dpi
Futuristic City#2 449.41mm x 254mm, 300dpi
Tags: concept art, illustration, architecture
Production Technology: The illustration is done digitally. I first used Blender, a 3d modeling software, to create base models, lighting and rendering to serve as a base for digital painting. I used Photoshop to paint digitally on top to create the final painting.
Design Challenge: To imagine and illustrate a future city, I need to expand my knowledge of architectural design, environment design, and city planning. I created a style guide that combines contemporary design with classic aesthetics, and I applied my original unique style to the architecture. The balance between the two styles is the most challenging and the highlight of this project.
Research: A study on historical architecture and modern architecture. Mainly focus on art deco, art nouveau, and Roman architecture. To create this unique style, I referenced the Roman rounded arches, pillars, and vaulting. Then I combined them with the Art Deco speed lines as well as the decorative elements from art nouveau.
Inspiration: I am fascinated by how architecture can revive and combine previous styles. I believe that a futuristic city should not only consist of white and clean buildings commonly seen in sci-fi movies. Instead, it can embody a more human-centric approach, showcasing the rich history of architectural design. Thus I want to add classic aesthetic elements and humane touch to this series of digital illustrations, aiming to create a captivating visual experience.
Project Duration: This project was completed from 2020 to 2021 in the US.
Operation Flow: Concept Art. This environment concept art shows the possibility of innovative architecture that combined with classic aesthetics.
