    The artist created concept art for the fictional city of Armilla from Italo Calvino's book Invisible Cities. Armilla is described as a "forest of pipes." The initial concept was of a city where people lived in pipes, but it was updated to an abandoned forest containing the rusted remains of plumbing infrastructure. Thumbnails were created from different angles to showcase the surreal landscape of pipes emerging from the ground and trees. The final paintings depict Armilla as an almost Eden-like place full of rusty metal pipes overgrown with vegetation.

    THE MAKING OF ARMILLA

    Paris Lucke

    INVISIBLE CITIES

    This project was to look at 19 cities in the


    book Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino where
    he talks about all these places a famous
    explorer has been (that in reality do not
    exist). The task was to create at least 100
    thumbnails on all the cities and then
    choose one city to create concept art for.

    I chose to do my concept art on the city


    of Armilla (the forest of pipes) as that's
    what seemed somewhat real to me.

    INFLUENCE MAPS

    FIRST THUMBNAILS

    The initial idea was a city of pipes that people


    lived in, it wasn't the best place for humans to
    live due to constant floods, overflows etc.

    After much thought I changed the idea to an


    actual forest, humans wouldn't live here as it is
    an abandoned city for whatever reason but all
    that was left was plumbing, it would look like a
    destroyed forest no life would be found there.

    THUMBNAILS
    A Forest in the Mountains

    Taking influence from surrealism and Legoland


    Windsor when you drive there before you get
    to the car park they have little sculptures on
    the hills so took that idea, you see random bits
    of plumbing before you reach Armilla - it will
    look very surreal.

    LOW ANGLE THUMBNAILS

    Being in the actual city thinking about what it


    might be like to be inside, would the pipes be
    rusty? Is it dark? What wildlife is there? Natural
    occurrences and their effect (like rain) etc.

    INTERIOR THUMBNAILS
    As the city has "no walls, no ceilings, no floors" it was
    extremely difficult to create an interior so you could say
    being under pipe trees inside the forest is classed as interior.

    DEVELOPMENT

    Playing around with colours


    on photoshop using gradient
    maps and blending modes I
    was able to develop my
    thumbnails to see what kind
    of colour scheme goes with
    the thumbnail.

    At the time the idea was to


    create a destroyed forest but
    of metal rather than wood
    but my idea changed again
    from being a dirty
    abandoned lonely place to
    more of a eden like place.
