2D Week 5 Perspective - John Berkey

This week we are working on the use of 1, 2, and 3 point perspective in 2D art. For our reference artist, we look to the work of John Berkey and his futuristic renditions.

For my piece, I wanted to recreate this work from the Chronicles of the Lensman, book cover.

While this image has a slight fish-eye lens style skew to it, I was able to identify a rough 3 point perspective that constructs the overall shape.

To assist with recreating this work we used 3D modeling tools in maya to roughly construct the image in a digital space.

With the 3D model rendered out, I could use my original image, and my 3D model to sketch out the shape of my image.

All that's left to do is to add some values to the ship and background to get my final image.
