this time around, the victim was 'charlie and the chocolate factory'. i wanted to do some more production design work, so in this incarnation, i decided to envision it as a video game.
in my rendition, charlie is an 18 year-old girl...a scrappy daughter of a poor tinkering inventor. the contest commences when Mr. Roboto (yeh...styx...cool) notifies everyone in the world that inside his latest robotic toys, there are hidden five golden microchips. if you find the lucky chip, you're granted the coordinates for his secret, lost fortress factory. once you arrive, you are challenged to break in, and find the central command center. once you get to the command center, you place your chip inside, and activate the factory. the first person to get to the finish gets to own the factory.
what can i say...it worked in my head.
anyhow, so i was off to drawing some stuff...and here are those that made it:
charlie
charlie's sub (couple of versions)
the cockpit of charlie's sub
the approach to Mr. Roboto's iceberg fortress. on its outskirts you'll see giant fiberglass panes that undulated randomly, thus changing the shape of the fortress when seen on radar...making it undetectable.
charlie decides to enter from beneath the surface...as she approaches (bottom corner of bottom image), the security system is alerted to her presence.
charlie breaks in (i got so tired of this piece that i just left it unfinished...please accept my apologies for the sub at top-right...please forgive the slackin'...)
the central information center

Great Iceberg Fortress. Very Lebbeus Woods. I see that you worked on Jackie Chan......Season Five?
hey nollan! man - you nailed it...big lebbus fan. guilty as charged.
yeh, JC season five - i had to seriously cut my teeth on that. i'm sure i messed up a ton...but hey, i was kinda on my own. jose was workin' on the batman and supervisin' on the side. he would drop off some designs and i was just floooooored. but making sense of the overall style of the characters of the show from season to season was tricky. anyhow, it was a perfect learning experience, and all i've been doing since then is trying to improve from there.
always room for learning...hence, my hittin' your site since i saw your amazing work in jose's book. sweet stuff.
thanks for the comment!
