PUNK MANIA

This is a challenge that I created for myself in order to develop my character design skills. It consists of selecting four important/known historical characters and setting them into four different worlds from science fiction (the more random the better).
In this project, I show the result of this challenge.

NIKOLA TESLA x STEAMPUNK

Reference

This was the character who pushed me on doing this challenge. I was navigating by the "Bioshock Infinite's" homepage on Steam and was there when I saw a tag that took my attention: Steampunk. I did not know what that tag meant, so I started searching on the internet and I get, not only inspiration but a fascination for the aesthetic. I wanted to create something with that aesthetic, so I came up with the idea of creating a character, and Nikola Tesla was just the indicated, because this aesthetic reminds me a lot of him.

While I was drawing this character, I was listening to music that gave me "Steampunk vibes". Two of the tracks that I was listening to were "Chronos" by Danimal Cannon, and "Steampunk Warlord" by BOSSFIGHT.

MARIE CURIE x CYBERPUNK

Reference

A few months ago, I drew Marie Curie as an anime character, but the final result was not completely of my liking, so taking advantage of this challenge, I wanted to make a second round. This character design was a little complicated to create because I could not completely figure out what makes something to see cyberpunk. Some of my references for creating the clothes and all the new image of Marie Curie were the video game "Cyberpunk 2077" and the film "Blade Runner 2049".

Like the previous one, I was listening to "Cyberpunk music" while I was drawing this character, some of the tracks I used were "The Rebel Path" by P.T. Adamczyk and "Disco Descent" by Danny Baranowsky.

ADOLF HITLER x DIESELPUNK

Reference

One of the subgenres of science fiction that I could not completely understand was Dieselpunk, which is a mix between Steampunk and Atompunk, but without being one or the other. So, while I was searching for references and more information about this style, I found a videogame called "Wolfenstein: The New Order" which is a videogame based on the Dieselpunk context. After playing the game I was fascinated by the whole aesthetic, which make me understand the Dieselpunk genre.

A few years ago, I get really interested in history, an interest which started with World War 2, so I take advantage of that fact and choose Adolf Hitler to put him in a Dieselpunk world.

Some of the references that I used for creating this version of Hitler were the video games "Wolfenstein: The New Order", "Wolfenstein: The New Colossus", and the TV series "The Man in the High Castle". Also, while I was drawing, the tracks I was listening to for creating these "Dieselpunk vibes" were the soundtrack of "Wolfenstein: The New Colossus" and the soundtrack of "DOOM: ETERNAL".

EXTRAS

At first, the challenge was supposed to be for four characters only, but after I finished with the last one, I still wanted to explore a few more genres.
So, I decided to pick two more characters and two more science fiction sub-genres, and the selected ones were the following:

Juana De Arco

Cassette Futurism
