What if ? Metropolis : Romain De Tirtoff: Influence map 1

For my What if ? Metropolis, project I was given the artists : Romain De Tirtoff.

Romain's work from what I can see from my initial research is that his work seems to be a mix of  illustrative artwork combined with fashion design.

I also feel that his art design seem's to be based around Middle eastern culture and design.


My initial thoughts are to look more into Arabic/middle eastern art culture, to see where Romain De Tirtoff could of possibly gathered influence from.


I have also gathered some websites, That I will gather further research from:

@phil : Interior

Was Just wondering if this concept piece, would be classed as an Interior Concept, as if so I believe I am going to further develop this piece.


If this piece does not fit the criteria, I was thinking about turning the fence into an open window looking out onto the city. Would appreciate feedback on this as for now I will produce two influence maps for the interior shot so that I have a range of ideas for either concept idea.

Invisible_Cities_Zirma_Concept_Ideas

I am re-uploading this piece of work with an additional Concept, as I feel these thumbnail/concepts, really work well together and I believe catches the idea of Zirma, I am going to further develop all of the concepts as they are not completely how I want them at this moment.

Invisible_Cities_Concept_2_Further Development_Argia

Here is a further Developed Concept of my previous Argia Concept, I am going to carry on developing this as I believe the focus point which to me is the centre, needs to have more, My idea at the moment is that I am going to design the main Centre of the city "Main Building", so that once this concept is complete the focus point will draw the viewer towards the design as this is what I truly want the viewer to see, I say further development as I do want to take my time and design an eye catching building that would work well with its surroundings.
