Here are more examples of the environment. Inspirations include Blade Runner, Metropolis...Those movies really struck a cord with me mostly due to their epic scale. But, as you see, I really want a diverse personality to the city. Parts are inspired by Roman designs, parts Shanghai, then other parts are punk scene references.
A big help to me has been the books "New York in the Thirties" by Berenice Abbott, "The Metropolis of Tomorrow" by Hugh Ferriss, and "Film Architecture" by Dietrich Neumann.
Next week we'll talk characters.

This is looking truly OUTSTANDING Toby.
toby,
i met you at san diego two years ago. i am very glad that you are finally putting out RODD RACER. i'm happy to buy anything you draw, but i'm much more interested in your creator owned work. everything i've seen from RR so far looks awesome! i can't wait!
Gorgeous locale designs and setups Toby. This project can't be in my hands soon enough!
When does the film go into production?
So any chance you'll be at comic con with something to sell this year? Sure hope so.
This looks fantastic, I hope the book is so successful you can make your personal projects full time and do the other stuff as side gigs...every creators dream....:)
Unbelievable! I'm already standing in line to buy this book!
I like this work...
Day one BOUGHT!
• Home Run. Touchdown. Goal. Three words that don’t even nearly describe how awesome this is.
