last pair sci fi props


With this final pair, the right panel (messenger) seems more cartoony in style than the five other sci fi props in this series. Nyet?

  1. I like both these. I like the asymmetry of the messenger's pipe scheme. I'd like to see it built and rotated.

  2. It looks like a jet-powered eyeball if that's what you mean by cartoony. It's actually my favorite of them all.

  3. Like Tom, I like the latent cartooniness of the messenger. As is, it definitely evokes a head of some kind (pipes=hair, spherical mass=head/eyeball), so maybe finding a strategy to breakup that association?

    That is, if you don't want it to look so cartoony.

    Maybe the pipes could be shrunk/downplayed or otherwise unified (think of putting a shroud over some of them--like a heat shield that covers automotive headers)?

    I see lots of potential for transparency on the eyeball orb, and the things you could put inside.

    Very nice!

  4. ..and I really like the armature, I'm just not sure how big it is/how it will be used. Could be a docking port for a car, could be pocket-sized.

    But I really like it!
