So I went in and roughly blocked out the image and quickly decided that the previous composition was a little flat. Though epic in scale I feel that the piece needed to be a little more intimate. I brought things down to the ground where we could get a sense of the surrounding area. The aesthetic of the BG town is still being workshoped but I am trying to base it off of the area I live in (south west France). I still need to find the balence of old and new. 
The color choice so far is an attempt to avoid the generic 'future colour combo' of green white and blue. (my brain really wanted to do that for some reason). At the moment I'm palying with the influence of the lavender. I'll test out some other combos next. Purple is my least favorite colour yet here I am.

The antenna's previous design was a little too aggressive in shape so I took inspiration from some interesting contemporary gas/service stations that had a round yet solid form. I will still need to iterate and create some alternate variations to see where I can take the design.

I put some little solar panels on the bee hives because 1. It's sustainable energy, 2. I can have some nice reflections interacting with the light, and 3. I think it's cute!
The lights surrounding the hill started out quite bright but I fought back my desire for extra glowing items so that they wouldn't draw from the antenna's focus. I also researched what lights would be most friendly to bees and it turns out that warm, dim lighting disturbs them the least. 

I threw in some stamped tree silhouettes last minute to test making the scene a little more nestled into the landscape. From this I came across an alternative, verticle compostion that could focus in more on our agents of change. I'm still deciding what could work better. 
I don't suppose anyone reading this might have an opinion on what works best?
