Story
This project was inspired by Stray (Midtown) and part of an older project I’d made a couple of years ago. It’s a random little shack made by some unknown character, who dabbles in painting, pottery, watches old movies from the 80s & 90s and generally likes being off the grid.
When making a little scene like this, I try to imagine what it would be like to make and use the space. What would I want around me and how would I interact with the space? What would make it looked lived in and humanised etc.
General
This is a print for my house, so I wanted to add plenty of detail. I’ve brought together a load of props I’d made for other projects. There are a few new ones just for this project too.
I also used Procreate and Nomad to help with creating the pots and adding painting, textures and doodles everywhere. It was a fun process that’ll I’ll be doing more of in future.
Let’s look around
This is a short showcase animation I put together to highlight parts of the mesh and a couple of key props and textures within the project. This was always intended to be a high resolution print, so rendering an animation was out of the question. Instead, I decided to put a little sequence together to pick out some details and add a bit of movement.
This is the first time I’d used Nomad on the iPad (for the ceramic pots) and Procreate for a bunch of doodles and textures.
Music
I wanted to make some music that was also inspired by Stray, but ended up just making something completely different. I can never really plan when making music and what happens just kinda happens.
I also added bleeps and bloops for the UI.
Thanks for watching
