Decided that perhaps my process could benefit from quickly analysing some sci fi images, pulling out some moods or elements and briefly talking about why them.
Quiet, weekend evening
20th century reimagined in near future - some historical influences but contemporary road
Outskirts
Starting to become poorer area, more run down
Structures unaltered - any stylistic changes are attachments
Feels quiet, calm-after-storm, removed from bustle, well-put-together and solid underfoot, airy/breezy, coldish, damp,
More futuristic; distant city more unusual in form, more intricate and more structurally imaginative
Colder, more blue light (a 21st century sci-fi colour)
Midground outskirts more degraded - more blatant signage, hotel sign more run-down,
Almost organic - tree-branches, etc
Transport between structures important
Historical base with Asian market-street-style clutter (red colours, hanging lanterns, dragon/roof forms,
Less glamorous and less obviously technologically advanced future
Modern streets underwater
Hard industrial forms below, residential and commercial above
Added clutter increases vertically
Feels busy, crowded, noisy, solid center at the core but outer shapes rickety, not very windy,
General structural strength shown by neat patterns of load-bearing wires, etc
Also tension - firm
