Tin Rocket Mood-board  Space Gadget / Vehicle Mood-board USSR Body type Mood-board USA Astronaut Mood-board  Robot Villain Mood-board  Moving on from last week, I have started to look at conceit for the character, and mine is Tin toys to add onto my astronaut character. I decided to make this batch of mood boards to help me narrow down designs that I could start producing, starting with the objects I would like to assist the astronaut such as a space ship, a space gadget (like a space bike, space tank, space racer, etc) that could make the story more fun and lighthearted, and for the last set I wanted to look at possible ideas for the villain. The idea for the Robot being a possible villain I got after a conversation about the characters trait, as the tin toys market was mainly producing a lot of robot toys and not a lot of aliens, so that seemed like the perfect choice for an antagonise within the story. I also briefly looked at different toy body si...

USSR Astronaut Suits  US Astronaut Suits  Continuing from last week I tried to draw more concepts of my Astronaut, looking more at different helmet and suit designs to see which one I might choose to stick with or adapt later on down the project, these designs I think mainly might be for my main astronaut character and then if I wanted to add another I will thumbnail some other outfit designs later. I also made these thumbnails to help me tell the difference between the US and the USSR astronaut suits, as at this point Im thinking about introducing a US and USSR astronaut into my story, and have a heavily re-imagined recalling of the space race between the two countries.
