Under the background of steampunk, artists created a lot of descriptions and produced different works.
These works can be divided into 1 1 themes.
The main charm of steampunk lies in the clothes, looks and manners of various unique characters.
Like the captain of a spaceship, a mercenary carrying a rocket bag, a flying pirate and so on, these roles are very common in steampunk.
In this kind of illustration, artists often spend a lot of pen and ink, highlighting the characteristics of characters with bright colors and a lot of scenes.
Steampunk emphasizes brain opening and breaking through traditional innovation.
Therefore, the manufacture of robots is also a creative main line that cannot be ignored.
The artist makes the robot look unique, fragile and particularly interesting through neat elements such as clock mechanism, gear and transmission device.
Robot giants are more interesting than the robots mentioned above.
Because they are bigger and more destructive, they can push the whole story to a climax.
Usually they become the tools of rebels.
Therefore, artists are always willing to describe the wanton destruction of these big guys.
Spacecraft and airship are one of the basic themes of steampunk.
They bear the dream of the whole future technology and embody the most interesting aspect of steampunk culture.
It plays an important role in steampunk illustrations.
Any fantasy subculture will derive related painting techniques.
There are also intricate design drawings in interesting steampunk stories.
They may be beautifully rendered and colored, or they may be arbitrary sketches.
In the virtual space-time of steampunk
Abstract art can best show its unique beauty.
In this time and space, mechanical power is omnipotent, and even you can see such a strange and interesting picture that machinery and animals are integrated.
Creative inventors and witty and willful gentlemen are one of the most popular characters in steampunk.
The combination of the solemnity of the old characters and the carnival collision can highlight the interesting two sides of the characters.
Victorian cities have both classical beauty and industrial beauty.
Injecting steampunk elements adds a touch of surreal extreme color.
Under the influence of machinery and technology, the humble urban landscape presents an incredible ethereal atmosphere.
Since the premiere of 1997 Star Wars, it has penetrated into almost every subculture.
Steampunk is no exception.
Many artists are obsessed with designing costumes for the characters in Star Wars, and even create a lot of works with the theme of Star Wars.
So Star Wars has also become an important existence in steampunk illustrations.
In the world of steampunk, traffic is also a very interesting element.
They usually have the characteristics of these three stories: they are groundbreaking inventions in the stories; It often breaks down, but it can be repaired anytime and anywhere; Critical moments always work again.
Steampunk added many elements to the story about war, such as spacecraft, napalm, rocket packs, tanks, robots and so on. , can be used to fight the enemy.
Therefore, visual conflict is added to the illustration, and fighting can stimulate militant factors in the human body.
What familiar and unfamiliar foreign illustration styles do you know? 2020 ended so hastily. I started 202 1 year before I could make a perfect ending. Many flags will be erected in 2020. How much have you finished? Friends who have finished can make persistent efforts and make great achievements. If they haven't finished, don't be discouraged. Keep up the good work and make this day meaningful. Make a study plan for yourself from now on and force yourself to get rid of procrastination. Procrastination is really terrible, because after a long time, you will get used to it and stay in the comfort zone, and eventually you will pay for your procrastination. 202 1, 1 Have you started making changes this month? It is said that 2020 is difficult. Because of the epidemic, it is very important for both enterprises and migrant workers to live. Will the "bitterness" of 202 1 pass? No, always be ready! Recently, I read some foreign illustrations and found them very enlightening and inspiring. Let me share with you!
I believe that most friends who do design know some domestic illustration design style trends, so I won't go into details here. Today, I mainly share some foreign illustrations that I think are more personalized. We should understand both the author of the work and the stylization of the author's work. Throw a few pictures below to see if you are familiar with them. I believe that friends who do design have seen similar works, and many domestic design partners will copy a style, plus some of their own design expressions and their own illustration inspiration.
(In fact, they are all very Mobius style. Some illustrations are more Cyberpunk, a little illustration and graffiti, and a little national fashion. In a word, Mo Bisi's style really has far-reaching influence! Seven meats and eight vegetables mixed together, which flavor is heavy is your style)
This illustration design style is the familiar and unfamiliar Mobius style. I saw a picture sent by a design friend before, which is a bit familiar and unfamiliar. Later, I learned that this style is the painting style of the French cartoonist Mobius. Mobius influenced many masters of art at that time, such as Miyazaki Hayao, a famous Japanese animator, producer and cartoonist. If you are a fan of Miyazaki Hayao, everyone must know how strict he is with himself and others in his work, and he pays great attention to details, which can be said to be harsh and paranoid. It is because of his seriousness that he has achieved his present achievements. Miyazaki Hayao once said: "1980, I came into contact with Mobius' Arzhak, which brought me great shock, and all cartoonists were deeply shocked by this work. Unfortunately, I had formed my own fixed style at that time, and I couldn't use its influence on me to enrich my painting. At that time until today, I still think that Mobius's illustrations have a strong sense of space, and I was influenced by him when I directed The Valley of the Wind. "
"The way Mobius looks at the world surprises me. His paintings depict characters with the simplest lines and contain various elements, showing a sense of loneliness and arrogance. I think this is the greatest charm of Mobius. " Miyazaki Hayao
The picture above shows the Valley of the Wind, and the picture below shows Arzac.
There are two other Japanese manga and animation masters who commented like this.
If many famous cartoonists give such a high evaluation, it is the following one. ......
Mobius/Kloc-entered the Paris School of Applied Arts at the age of 0/6, and was deeply influenced by cartoons such as The Adventures of Tintin. By the time 18 years old, he had drawn cartoons for Far West magazine. The pen name M_bius was born in 1963, and Giro used this name to create his sci-fi and fantasy works.
The game "We will WeAllEndUpAlone" being developed also adopts this style. This game tells the story of fighting cancer and nightmares. This style of painting has even lines, no shadow lines and shadows, simple characters and detailed background. On 20 18, a game "Aquamarine" that started crowdfunding was also influenced by Mobius. The following is a picture comparison between the world Federer and this game:
On the left is Mobius's Fedna of the World, and on the right is aquamarine.
As he grew older, Mobius devoted himself to improving his artistic style, reducing the number of lines and simplifying his volume, and was always looking for a purer way to express the world. My personal feeling is similar to Cyberpunk's style. The biggest difference is that the color contrast of Cyberpunk style is more vivid and the visual impact is stronger.
There is another style that impresses me very much and is very novel in contemporary design. Memphisstyle was born in the post-modern network and graphic art. Memphis Style is a designer group led by Italian designer EttoreSottsass in 198 1 year, which is called "Memphis Group". They oppose monotonous and cold modernism, advocate decoration, emphasize products made by handicraft methods, and actively seek inspiration from pop art, oriental art and traditional art in Africa and Latin America. The design of Memphis tries its best to express all kinds of cultural connotations that give personality, from naive and funny to bizarre. In terms of color, I often deliberately break the law of color matching, and like to use some bright, funny and high-chroma colors, especially the gaudy colors such as pink and pink green. The core figure of "Memphis" is Sotesas, who believes that design is to design a way of life. Therefore, there is no certainty in design, only possibility, no eternity, only moment.
A wave of "Memphis" appeared in the design circle one after another. Driven by a group of young designers, they have extracted their own classic elements and created many works with Memphis style, which have been widely and cross-border applied in many fields such as plane, architecture, fashion and products.
There is no doubt that Memphis, an unreasonable but expressive attribute, conforms to the values of today's young people and redefines those inherent traditional design thinking.

The artist CamilleWalala is also a representative of Memphis style. He is good at applying digital design to various products, store design and other cross-border projects.
A very strong Memphis style can be felt in CamilleWalala's works. Most of her designs use interesting contrasting colors of pink, blue and green, dotted with points, lines and geometric elements.

Three classic features of Memphis design style:
0 1, bright color, high saturation and bold color matching. This style, which emphasizes visual experience over rationality, often uses bright, funny and high-chroma colors, especially pink and pink green, to break the color matching rules and show a unique attitude.
02. Use abstract vector elements such as plane lines and geometric figures.
03. The background is in sharp contrast with the main content.
Some cases used at home break the routine, and Memphis style adds different visual experiences to life.
Summary:
1. Break the horizontal and vertical lines in composition, and adopt the combination of wave curve, curved surface, straight line and plane.
2. Color matching uses contrasting colors, which are bright and bright, especially like pink, pink and green.
3. Interesting decorative design consists of tiny geometric shapes such as points, lines and surfaces.

Keep reading and practicing. If you have good ideas or read good works and remember the author's name, please leave a message in my comments and learn from each other!
