A series of illustrations created in the "Mecha-Clockwork Aesthetica" technique - an author's visual style combining chronomechanical elements, industrial forms and retrofuturistic atmosphere.
The project includes images of androids, urban landscapes, bridges in extreme locations, steam trains and a huge wall separating the metropolis from the ocean.
Introduction
The project brings together illustrations made in a unified stylistic approach. The aim is to explore the visual language of industrial futurism through architecture, characters and large-scale engineering structures.
Stylization and visual principles
* Main features of the style: brass, gears, precision, structural
* Combining realistic details with conventional graphics
* Use of symmetry, modularity, vintage texture
The city is like a cogwheeled organism: streets-rails, pendulum towers, neon bursting through the brassy fog.

Uniqueness of the project
* Author's style at the intersection of steampunk,
dieselpunk and architectural graphics
* Related series: characters, cities, infrastructure
* Variety of scale: from portrait to city section
* Applicability for concepts, narrative and branding.
Where images can be used
* Book covers, posters, merch
* Game/animation/web stories in sci-fi setting
* Interfaces for app/AR concepts
* Illustrations for educational/thematic projects about the future,
robotics and infrastructure
Thank you!
