I’ve been wanting to make this for a while now
I played Red Alert 2 when I was 7, got into Red Alert 3 when I was 13
But just recently did I fall in love with the “Power” soundtrack
So a few weeks back I thought of creating a mood piece for it
But just yesterday did I find the time to finally get to work on it
Day 0
First thing that came to mind when I hear this soundtrack is a huge tesla coil in a backdrop of 3 cooling towers.
I decided to start looking for references in the Command and Conquer Wikia and research how exactly a tesla coil works
I found this neat concept art for a mod of Red alert 2(Go give him a like!)
Day 1
I gotta say,
I love this project
It teaches me not to rely too much on one references, previously I was just slavishly copying the reference of my projects
But this project taught me that sometimes you just have to use creative freedom!(Thanks eppo!)
At this point It doesn’t look very… soviet
The poles look too smooth
It doesn’t look very big
It doesn’t look too intimidating
