Unit2: Secret Lairs- Concept Art Development
These show the development of my concept art, I have added a generator, wires, and put the reflection of the ceiling lights as well as adding the electric effects. In my opinion the lighting looks a bit exaggerated, however shows that the character lives in an electric environment which will more obvious when I add my matte painting behind the Hero prop(machine).

Unit2: Secret Lair- Concept Art development
These are thumbnails to show the development of my secret lair, I still need to work out the perspective of the Hero prop as it doesn't stands properly on the steps. The next step is putting the generator, wires, matte painting in the background, lights in the ceiling and deciding about the colours of the set.

Unit2: Secret Lairs- Thumbnails- Hero Prop
After a chat with my creative partner Jake, I had some really useful feedback about my hero prop that gave me a clear idea about what my machine would look like.
My character would sit in the machine and put his hands in the handles and his dress starts to charge but now it changed, I replaced the handles by two needles that inject into his neck to charge the suit as well as a kind of an electric helmet in the shape of a lamp shade that allows electric wave into his head.

Thumbnail for my new idea
Started by blocking out
I have modified the support of the needles because the perspective was wrong as they were standing in the foreground.
I added highlights/ glow effects on the machine and I have been changing the background colour while working on the machine to understand the colours I am using for my machine
Wires, as the machine absorbs power from a generator.

Unit2: Secret Lairs- Effects/Lighting
Interior Lighting/effects:
The secret lair will have some glow effects/ glow lighting which results from the different electric equipments and this lighting will make the indoor stands out from the outside.
Influence Map:
The top image is what I want my interior to look like, a 'glowy' light which shows that the interior is safe and makes the secret lair stands out from the gloomy exterior/matte painting.
The second image will help me in terms of getting the lighting effect for my Hero Prop( the machine the secret agent uses to charge his dress) that happens while absorbing electricity.
Long Exposure photography:
I have experimented with some long exposure photography which I believe will help me get an idea about the effects/lighting style( thickness, colours, shape..) for my secret lair:

Unit2: Secret Lairs- Secret Lair
Secret Lair Short Statement:
The habitants of the Electric City rely on creating robots and using them in different fields of the society but as the technology used was very high, the robots are in no doubt very smart and refused the fact that they are being controlled by humans and started a war which led to the end of the human civilisation and a nuclear shockwave that caught the earth's habitants attention and made them curious to find out what happened.
After traveling to the electric city to find out what caused the explosion, the travellers got killed by the robots and the earth's intelligence centre decided to send a secret agent for a mission.
The secret lair is a room which contains all the necessary equipments the secret agent will need throughout his mission. it's mainly electrical materials, such as a machine that he uses to charge his dress which turns transparent (if it runs out of electricity) and this obviously leads to revealed identity. The room will include electricity generators, electric materials, wires and other electric equipments which I believe will be useful to the agent throughout his mission.
The machine he uses requires a lot of electric energy and therefore causes a power cut across the city and draws the robots attention.
A window is located in the back of the room, showing the outside of the city( electric grid, wind turbines, sky) to show that the city relies on producing electric energy and that it is the most important and main energy. The sky will be quite dull to give the impression that the city has been subject to war and massacre and is being dominated and that it's cruel actions, the outside elements( wind turbines, electric grids) will look quite futuristic as the city is developed.
The secret lair will have some glow effects/ glow lighting which results from the different electric equipments and this lighting will make the indoor stands out from the outside.
Concerning the secret lair space I am thinking of using small scale which I believe represents security, safety and discreetness which reflect the secret agent's personality.
Influence Map:
These are some pictures that I believe will help me decide about the secret lair's items which will contain electric items, wires and power generators. More research will be posted about the agent's items.
