Urban Biotope

Urban Biotope a semi-solid cage, preserving or rather detaining something strange. An organ of perception, the natural phenomenon which was accidentally discovered, then carefully cultivated to bless us with the gift. Its architecture slowly diverges and transforms into completely new taxon. Here it is, not flesh, nor concrete, but both. It might give us possibilities to master the space, understand the past, but largely perceive the future.
Now is the time to craft a better society. Our new Technogod could only observe our own efforts. A lot of us are praying and celebrating, however, there are a lot of those who are terrified and angry.

It has been a few months since I did a very first illustration of this artwork. Later, I started to wonder if I can increase its complexity. In that time I was testing some advanced modeling techniques, mostly procedural and scripting, that allows me to produce variations, based on input conditions.

You can see some examples on the Artstation:

The final image is the result of a five-week workshop, which consists of two main parts. The first one was pure 3d experimentation in Houdini. I was aiming to work strictly procedurally. You can follow some geometrical advances in my previous projects.

The result of this stage served as a foundation for the Photoshop part. Before photo bashing and painting I had a lot of nice time to walk the street of Prague, taking pictures that could fit the image and its mood.

In my next works I would like to explore this world more, so enjoy and stay tuned.
