storeExperiments with global illumination in Carrara Studio gave me the occasion of two spoofs of futuristic ads to continue my series of cyborg images.
Alienwear Model Blue Book - I wanted to transpose to androids the idea of heavily customized PCs with their transparent parts and fluorescent lights. I am not too happy of how the green lights came out but the overall image is what I was after. The name is an obvious reference to the ’Alienware’ brand of high end PCs.
Eliza R 10 Red Droid Salon and Spa - The idea for this one went through a few months of inconclusive drafts. I guess the picture had to find the right time to come out. I was after a contrast between organic textures of wood, soft and relaxing lighting of a spa and the cold and sharp reflections of chrome on the droids. The ad is a reference to the ’Red Door’ spas, with ’Eliza R 10’ an echo of ’Elizabeth Arden’, label of the chain of spas.
