SENT BY THE GODS

Dofresh takes us through the process behind the creation of this unique sci-fi concept

It was a very fun piece to produce. I wanted to explore a mix of sci-fi and Ancient Greece. I had already designed this mech in static positions but this time I wanted to depict it in action. The composition of the image is very diagonal, the framing and the light are used to show the confrontation between the mech and the ‘weird’ sphere. The human characters fleeing the temple are here to give a sense of scale to the scene. What I like the most in this piece, I think, is that the design of the sphere (a mix of flesh and metal) makes the viewer a bit uncomfortable. Because of this, I hesitated a bit before publishing this illustration. Frankly, I thought it would be a flop.
