This is my latest update of the chosen frame.
Still I'm not totally happy and if I'll have time I'll try to do some more tests!

Maybe I'll need to elnlarge the leaf on the left, anyway I'm happy that there's more time for the challenge!

Hope you'll like the update mates, see you soon

I've made a first initial color sketch.

I admit to be out of my confort zone, but my idea was to see ho could look this city in the sunset, when a tired Architect is giving the last direction to go rest for the moths/silkworm.

I like how the reddish color rise up from the city giving an idea of life in the night's coming.
I have to lights up a little the energy of the leaf where the Architect is, to give a better contrast with the great flower

Anyway I need to see it with fresh eyes to be sure and maybe do some more tests.

Hope you'll like it! if you have any tips feel free to tell me whatever you want!

Cheers Tribe and see you soon 

 

It's time to reveal the comp studies I've made today, I've tried to find a good balance between the Architect and the main flower. 
Now it's time to find the right one between these 4! I can't find a favourite, but the bottom left is the one that gives me better vibes and have an interesting movement between the pollen/moths and the environment. 
But I'll keep some days to think about it (maybe I'll do some more lol)

As always I hope you'll like them, tribe!!

See you soon and good luck to everyone!
 

Hello Tribe!

I've just tried  in the spare time to give a better idea to the building (I'm not so satisfied yet, but it gives an idea how the energy could be transferred from the air to the other things with the pollen)
The material of the glowing line is made by the same of the leaves. So there's a connection between all the mechanism.

I really hope to start the final image soon, I can't wait to find the right mood for this! 

As always I hope you'll like it, mates

See you soon!

Hello Tribe!

Finally I've found some time to brainstorm the idea of the city and how all the structure of the Pollen Mechanism works.
I've figure it out that, for a great amount of energy and a more "epicness" it would be better to enlarge them all. So it justify the great amount of silkworm and then the moth also.
I've imagined the design of the Architects as something misterious and "cool" mixing some oriental design and techwear with eco materials (I've imagined the skirt of the same energetic material of the leaves).
Again I really hope you'll like it! I cant wait to define better all the details, I'm really enjoying dreaming of this world.

Wish you all the best luck, see ya Tribe!

Hello mates,
This is my very first time attempting this amazing challenge!

As soon as I read this year's text, I started dreaming of a high-tech world in which nature and man have found a strong balance. The architects, who are brilliant humans able to connect deeply with nature, have found a way for silkworms to produce a type of plant filament. With this filament they build huge leaf-like structures that can attract the sun's rays and transmit them to a flower that transmits that same energy via 5g. The effect looks incredibly like flower pollen.
I dreamt of huge metropolis surrounded by nature where moths (which are simply the result of silkworms) roam free and teach the new silkworms to weave new leaf-shaped constructions 
the visual effect will be very similar to snow-white wisps

I hope you'll like this idea! 
I wish the best luck to everybody

Cheers!
