Description

来自于1920s年代的任天堂游戏机,使用了拨号型电话、手摇传声机、老式打字机、IBM的储存卡等等元素进行结合,在这张画中,我使用了大量的精力去刻画质感尤其是钥匙初类似与钢琴的釉色金属质感,还有以纸质打孔资料卡形式的卡带也很有意思(最早的记忆是来自于荒野大镖客2中自动弹奏的钢琴用的也是这种琴谱)——In this illustration of a Nintendo game console from the 1920s, I combined elements such as a rotary dial telephone, a hand-cranked gramophone, an old-fashioned typewriter, and IBM storage cards. I devoted a lot of effort to capturing textures, especially the enamel-metallic finish of the keys that resembles a piano. The cartridge, in the form of a paper-punched data card, is also interesting (my earliest memory of it was from playing Red Dead Redemption 2, where the self-playing piano used this type of sheet music).

I don't mean to disparage the artist because it's a great looking picture

But this makes no sense and feels like "I glued gears to my hat to be steampunk"
