ARCTIC RESEARCH FACILITY
CONCEPT BRIEF
Hidden in the Artic a team of researchers are excavating the remains of a giant fossil.
For this piece I was inspired by artic research stations and Artic Biodomes. These structures look very Interesting due to the harsh environment, however its not very obvious what goes on in them. So I thought it be interesting to do a sci-fi twist having an excavation on site.
To add more of a wow factor I wanted large scale to the excavation. Looking at open pit mine digging for inspiration. Thinking the unique shape of these mines in combination with the translucent, and reflective properties of ice would make an interesting visual.
However this created the unique problem of communicating Ice being carved into and have something visible behind that ice with that thing having dimension depth of it's own. My solution was to make the cuts more visible on the bottom section of the pit layers, while the wall section allows for more of a window to see the skeleton.
