Starting to populate this environment - I want to leave some areas unmodelled so I can go back in and paint in details to provide a little more of a stylised look - next stage will be finishing the landscape - sticking some biodomes and antennae in the back - and adding in a few characters.

Sketches amd 3D exploring the style of the tree and its antennae - I've realised I only have about 3 days to actually finish this piece so I've simplified the idea a little and will be going for a bit more of a stylised approach than you might see in my usual work!

More Sketches and Explorations for the Connectivity Tree

Further sketching this morning developing one of the previous ideas - might start building some of the elements ( specifically the tree) to experiment with other angles and compositions.

Off on holiday for most of this month so I'm trying my best to speed run this whilst also producing something nice!

My idea is that large scale connectivity via 5G has been achieved through a technological advancement that allows fibreoptics and routers to grow across vast distances through organic roots. I'm going to focus on this particular cities '5G Tree' where all roots emenate from. 

Key ideas here are to show:

Some form of organic and technological integration

The freedom for humans afforded by a utopian post work setting

A landscape that allows for large shared spaces like parks and travel infrastructure 

Hints of sustainable energy usage

More soon!
