Alouna Benitez Concept
Some concept and project I enjoyed working on this year :)
Welcome, I'm Alouna !
I'm glad to share my entry for the 2021 Rookies I hope you will enjoy my ideas on some projects I worked on this year as a concept artist !
In some distant future, the best pilots around the world comes to fight and challenge themselves during a crazy race from which will emerge one winner. It was a really fun project to work as I was inspired by Maori's culture and I'm happy to see the result now.
My characters are two former Maori shark hunters who after seeing the disappearance of sharks decided to participate to this crazy race. Why sharks because in this culture it can symbolizes the fighting spirit, the god who protects and the fascination for the terror which seemed to me quite interesting to exploit for my pilots.
In their silhouettes themselves I' ve been inspired by sharks. Pilot inspired by the hammerhead shark and the co pilot ( the smaller one ) by the bulldog shark
I wanted to explore differentes shapes while keeping my main goals : Speed, Ergonomy and cohesion with the design of the two main character.
Here below is another project named Above us where our main character lives on a submerged and rocky land on a makeshift raft. The land is flooded, there is almost no one left and nothing grows. Our character will then from one day to the next find himself at the side of a botanist living on a flying boat filled with plants. Amazed and fascinated by so much vegetation he will help him in his quest until he realizes that in reality there is no other human on board and that a secret is hidden behind the goodness. The man collects the last plants of the earth and to feed them uses the last survivors of humanity.
I imagine the botanist with some mutation on his face that would grow more and more while the story progress. At first he is an allie but then become the enemy. I wanted him mysterious and appealing but with a hollowed out face kind of strange.
I really had fun working on these carnivorous plant I was a bit hesitant with the bright colors first but I think I achieve finding a good balance between existant and real plant and strange futuristic new design.
The sidekick is inspired by monkeys and help the botanist harvest the last plants on earth
For Reema the main character she lives on a metal raft inspired by cans floating on the water. She wears many layers of clothing and pieces of salvage.She is small and fast. And her design is quite inspired by the Korean orange latex fisherwomen outfits. Her raft has no sail but a motor at the back and is made of solid openwork metal pieces.
Here are some other project I did which were also really interesting to work on : )
An illustration for a video game project.
And finally two concept I made for a project were I revisited Frankenstein story.
