Character Bio - KROTON

In the year 3010, humans wanted to create a robot in which would be able to do all the handy work and build buildings and simply help with human life. KROTON was created to not only help the humans but to do what humans couldn't do, to be able to carry things in which no one could, to be a example in robotic engineering and to show off his capabilities. KROTON was created out of the finest Sheets of metal and wiring there was, with the ability to do what others could not. He was created with the icon smile in which would be the head of the branding of the company he worked for. After a while, Humans created better robots and the KROTON Project was abandoned, and so Kroton was thrown into the warehouse in which retired or unsuccessful robots would go. Whilst staying in this dump of a place, he met robots in which he believed could be manipulated to do what he commanded. The once beautiful robotic creation had become a power addict, wanting more and more, Putting fear in the robots hearts and making them his army. After two years of living in this warehouse, he felt it was his time to rise from the darkness and rain havoc onto the puny humans in whom cast him out. And so he crashed through the walls setting a light the company he worked for. Killing the innocent had become a hobby for Kroton as of his corrupt mind due to his past. On that day, he created KROTON industries, allowing unsuccessful robots work, only if they would join him. So as he sits there in his chair watching and waiting for the right time to strike down on the human race, Will anyone stop him?

This is just like a hero.

Research Week - Task 2

In this Project, we are to start looking at the theme of Recycling and then we are to find away of making a character with that theme. In task 2 we were asked to reference a film, literature, illustration, designer, a game or animation which has the theme of recycling in it.

Artist 

Andrew Chase is a artist who creates sculptures of animals out of scrap metal. He creates Epic dinosaurs out of recycled parts in which have been thrown in the junkyard. I really think Andrew has a huge talent in which he makes his art look like it is alive, this is something in which I may look at when creating my character and this is a big inspiration. 

Heather Jansch Is utterly Brilliant, I searched artists who used recycling and thank god I did, Her art is outstanding and shocking. Heather is an artist who uses Drift wood to create brilliant Statues of Horses in which look so real.

Erika Iris Simmons looks at old media like cassettes to create absolutely unique and memorable works that feature famous people or team like Kurt Cobain, Beatles and Michael Jackson. To me this is something I have never seen and most people would be the same, It is unique and without doubt brilliant!

Films

The Film Wall-e is an obvious choice when looking at recycling, The film is basically about the earth in the future. The character is a small junk collecting robot, which ironically is made from scrap parts.

The film really got me focused on which could be classed as recyclable and also I think the character design is going to be something in which I will be looking at.

Animation

When looking for animations in recycling I could not find many.

However I stumbled over a youTube video in which is a stop motion animation comprising of plastic models, human hands and Flash frame-by-frame animation. The theme is recycling. It simply shows a mans hands in which transforms recyclable items into different objects. I thought It was clever and so added it here. The link is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV3-2pC5hU8

Recycling in Games

One game in which I have looked at before this,

is the game samorost. This game uses Photography

to create an environment, however it uses recyclable materials

in the game and It looks very unique and different.

tbc

Illustrations

Here is a a piece of art in which I found on deviantart. It uses the theme of recycling to create a boat/ship. I really like this piece however I wish I was able to find the artists name.

Other

One very interesting aspect in which was not on the list was recycling in fashion and normal life. I looked at The fact people use recycled materials as clothing and also for tools or jewelry. I think that I could use Recycled clothes such as Newspapers and Scrap metals to create or act as

a fabric.
