Visual development of the Martian command center.
This was an early design for the command center while the script was still being finalized.
As always, I start with thumbnails to align with the art director on their direction. We both like the nod to the Star Destroyer pits from Star Wars.
The computer consoles were never shown directly, but we had done a design pass just in case.
An airlock was called out in the script, so I did a quick design. I was happy with the lighting in this render.
This was the final design once all of the story needs were known.
This is the exterior design. The script required that no structures could be on the surface.
