Research!

As I have my basic idea of what i want to do for my final project, I needed a theme for my dioramas, something i could take lots of ideas and make them my own and maybe something i could then keep adding to if i wanted to in the future, this way my final project could never be broken.

I wanted something that had big, bold brash shapes, not overly complex but that had some level of detail.

I started looking at sci fi themes as that has what i was looking for, I can across a couple of things, one of those was an Artist called Simon Stalenhag, he is a Swedish sci-fi concept artist and he creates vivid, semi- dystopian worlds where realistic robotic designs blend in with classic cars, playing children and woodland creatures. I really liked the robot designs and how believable they looked in its surroundings.







I also came across Cosmic Motors and these are futuristic sci-fi vehicles that look believable and they look even more believable because there is a person standing in front of them.







From looking at both of these, Both deliver the complexity that i was looking for as a theme for my dioramas and by looking at them, they instantly pointed me towards the Steam Punk era.
Steam Punk has a massive collection of bold and brash vehicles, air ships and robots for me to look at.
