Parts of the story that made me lol 


“Humans were helpless, mewling children, so utterly dependent that they couldn’t even 
feed their meat without a steel fork to guide the process. And what were cyborgs, except 
meat-wrapped steel pressed into the service of lesser creatures? But now the forks were rebelling”

“Friendly wrapped her arms around her shivering meat, vibrating against Engineer’s
chassis where their limbs brushed. Meat could be like that, leaking anxieties through
uncontrolled muscle spasms. Steel never misbehaved in such an appalling manner.”



Retro vibeeess




Cyberpunk setting concept art. How light and colour can play a role in our designs 




- gradients
- silhouettes (add a sense of mystery)
- contrast - bright colors against black

Week 8: Pitch Bible Presentation

However, they are hailed by a ship and quickly realise that the spacecraft they hijacked was a space restaurant, and the beacon advertising it is still broadcasting. Deciding to fulfil the order to avoid suspicion, the clueless cyborgs scramble to find something humans might like to eat. However, the only thing left on the ship is their own meat... Episode 2: Engineer is troubled with the meager 1-star review their meal garnered, despite the other cyborgs lack of concern. They only want to shut down the beacon.We see flashbacks to her time working for the humans at the same resort as Jukebox, never receiving any praise. While she pities ...

Today we met up in class and showed each other the work we did over the week, to give critique and feedback and working out what we will have done over the break: Kasina worked on the inside aesthetic of  the kitchen and diner area: She played with 2 different aesthetics - We all agreed we liked the first style the most so will continue in that direction. It has a more grungy rundown vibe to it which is what we were going for. Grace continued developing the characters, this week she worked on Captain & Friendly: Different outfits and styles fitting our 1960's vibe and colour palette -  We really liked the design and style of 9 & 10 for Friendly and 6 & 11 for Captain. Bridget started looking at how and what she will create a model for: The teachers commented we should do one of the characters, such as Engineer.  We think if we have time we can do both ;)  Danielle continued working with after effects and began a...
