Progress On My Appliance Project
Here is the progress I have made on my digital drawing of my appliance. My idea for this project is to create the lamp into a hot air balloon and have the balloon flying over a city with clouds. The idea of the hot air balloon stemmed from the resemblance I see between the lamp and the hot air balloon. The round sphere-like shape of the lamp reminded me of the same similar round shape of a hot air ballon. My idea of how I want everything to look is still in the works, but I did go ahead and swipe out the light bulb for the flame of the hot air balloon. I decided to add the flame in place of the light to share the resemblance of a flame and light, both the flame and the light are used to power the object. The next steps I plan to take on for this piece, is to create a basket on the bottom of the lamp and then start to create a cloud filled atmosphere for the lamp/hot air ballon to be floating in, with a city of some sorts down below.
I think you idea fits your object very well. The way you have changed the bulb into a flam is very cool. I can't wait to see what you do with the final. I think the city and clouds will work great with your piece.
ReplyDeleteI want this lamp for my apartment, it's such a unique shape! I think your hot air balloon idea works really well with the shape, and i think you could add emphasis to it by repeating the balloon a couple times and turn the scene into a hot air balloon festival (which i found out recently there's one near Boone in October)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your idea! I cant wait to see how this comes together and I totally can see a hot air balloon from your appliance, especially with how you are working the light bulb into the flame. I also appreciate how you are keeping the original rounded shape of the lightbulb within the idea of the flame.
ReplyDeleteI like the direction you're headed, I can see the similarities between your object and a hot air balloon. I also like your idea for the background, I would have gone straight for clouds as being the only background, but having city helps emphasize what the object might be doing.
