Gotta agree with Phil! But apart from this it's looking so
adorable, great job!! Maybe you can make some little clouds shaped like the
ones in your matte painting to blend it in more; all about those layers n'

Hey Vlad - just popping by with a quick observation: for me,
the matte painting is too much 'just a drawing' - you have an illustrative
style in your world, but it's more than a drawing; I suggest you might seek to
give your sky etc. a more 'papery' texture to bring it in line with everything
else in the scene? To me, it feels too visually separate... time for a bit more
development/refinement? on WIM Final Scene

Nice one, Vlad! Don't forget that your bibliography needs to
be organised alphabetically...and also check here that you are formatting the
bibliography correctly - http://community.ucreative.ac.uk/Harvard-Referencing

20/11/2014 Hey Vlad, As expressed previously, I'm loving the
way in which you're inhabiting the world of your artist - and I love many of
those sweet, charming drawings that come under your 'key asset' category. If I
said I was a bit disappointed by your concept art, it's because it lacks that
same sweet illustrative charm, and I suspect this is about the medium in which
it was produced - digital painting versus line art. For me, Heath Robinson *is*
line art, so one of your biggest challenges is to translate that loose,
illustrative style into 3D. It's the line art factor that gives much of
Robinson's inventions their comedic, rickety qualities - and it's that
'rickety' quality that is missing somehow from your digital painting. For
example - all your buildings in the digital painting suddenly feel very
reassuringly solid and reliable. The clock tower doesn't look haphazard or 'wonky'
or patched-up by well-meaning hands. All your other drawings of buildings in
the key asset on WIM OGR 2

charlie-serafini
on 14/11/14
I like 100 - though it feels like you need to open out the
picture frame, so you're not clipping the top of the building - but I prefer
the colours of 99 - less alien; personally, I think a more 'inkwash' or sepia
quality might evoke Heath Robinson more so? There's something a bit haphazard
and adhoc about lot of Robinson's structures/gadgets - don't forget about that
aspect - all the visible mechanics and slight sense of things having been
cobbled together - things are looking bit too safe and secure for a Robinson
city, don't you think? on WIM thumbnails 92 - 100

Hey Vlad - for me, 78 is the 'least' interesting, in so much
as we're left looking at an essentially open space - our eyes slide off the
building on the left and fall into the mid ground. I'd like to see a bit more
complexity and gadgetry in the mix - I know we discussed a sort of 'helicopter
view' or train view, but perhaps think of a more complex ariel architecture to
create more interest, as in...

78 does looks very interesting, I'm also fond of 80, I love
the trains and the other vehicles you've designed. As far as the giant kettle
building goes, I get the feeling that 91 is more to Heath Robinsons style, 85
feels to modern and looks a bit out of place. Looking great though, can't wait
to see you add a splash of colour. on WIM Metropolis thumbnails 76 - 91

Hi Vlad! Short and sweet... it's time now to really start
unpicking the topics you are introducing in your reviews; if you look at this
one for example, the bulk of what is presented here is quotation. While your
choice of quote is good, you need to spend more time 'unpicking' the quote and
making it work for your writing. You could, for example, have analysed the use
of colour in the different representations of living space... on "Edward
Scissorhands" movie review

OGR 06/11/2014 Hey Vlad, I absolutely LOVED your travelogue;
what a perfect capture of that world and its culture; and the image of people
walking around with pillows for shoes is wonderful! I think you've nailed this
world in all its wonderful complexity - like a coral reef of automata - a
layer-cake of ingenuity. I like too the way you've combined lots of smaller
drawings into a more elaborate scene - which again reflects your understanding
of this 'big world' comprised from 'small inventions'. Your production design
challenge is this: how to evoke that complexity in terms of your digital set
and its components without committing to modelling every last detail?
Certainly, that image you envision of the sky teeming with different kinds of
transport is a rather delicious prospect - likewise that idea of the block of
flats - with each apartment made slightly different by an alternate gadget;
again, the image of all those chairs on winches is another lovely detail. It
seems to me on WIM OGR Vlad Yankov
