Concept Design Process


I first started out with thumbnailing some possible designs, focusing on silhouette.


I chose three thumbnails from each page and sketched it out in more detail.


I ended up with the first design (pink & purple renders) and redesigned it to better fit the transformer prompt. Using photos, I collaged over top of the sketches to visualize how it would look.
