So I began scheming an approach filled with robot masterminds, sharp wit, and absolutely saturated in nerdisms. In the back of my head, I never figured they'd actually go through with it. But I was wrong. Not only did they love the idea, but they added to the story arc, and asked me to do a series of teaser posters to drum up excitement. The project was so well received and successful that we were asked to speak about the process and outcome at a conference in Las Vegas. http://mindprizm.com/WIP http://mindprizm.com/following/mindprizm.com/WIP Tue, 19 Jul 2011 04:11:17 +0000 Mindprizm 1747349 Ruined Cathedral <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_UpperTriangle2.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_UpperTriangle2_o.png" data-mid="12947716" caption="Large Archway Topper" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeArchMidBack.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeArchMidBack_o.png" data-mid="11239748" caption="Large Window" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LowerWindow1_2.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LowerWindow1_2_o.png" data-mid="11239767" caption="Lower Windows" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LongGardenWall_2.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LongGardenWall_2_o.png" data-mid="11239805" caption="Long Courtyard Wall" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeWindowArch_11.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeWindowArch_11_o.png" data-mid="11710988" caption="Second Large Window" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeArchLow_2.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeArchLow_2_o.png" data-mid="11239788" caption="Interior Wall with Stairway" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_PillarArch1_2.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_PillarArch1_2_o.png" data-mid="11239799" caption="Pillars and Arches" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_TowerBase_3.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_TowerBase_3_o.png" data-mid="11239828" caption="Tower Base" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_Spire.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_Spire_o.png" data-mid="12305346" caption="Spire with Detail" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_EntArchway.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_EntArchway_o.png" data-mid="11239781" caption="Entrance Archway" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_OverTriangleBroken.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_OverTriangleBroken_o.png" data-mid="11239797" caption="Small Archway Topper" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeArchMidFront.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_LargeArchMidFront_o.png" data-mid="11239793" caption="Upper Wall" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_UpperTriangle1.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_UpperTriangle1_o.png" data-mid="11711183" caption="Large Archway Topper" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_ProxyGeometry.png" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/131708/1747349/WIP_Cathedral_ProxyGeometry_o.png" data-mid="8597214" caption="Base Geometry" border="0" align="left"/> Base geometry created with 3ds Max.
