RIGID Personal Project - Dillard City
A new personal project I created called Rigid. A society built on the remains of a desolate world left abandoned by a long-ago war. In this part of the project, my goal was to create some initial ideas for the overarching world and develop the city, Dillard, where many of the remaining lifeforms live.
Dillard City Final Image. I wanted to showcase how the city is tiered on the cliffside. As well as the various landmarks that are found throughout the city.
These people live in a wind-filled zone making where the city is built, as a livable spot.
Wind Turbine - Orthographic Sheet
The main power source of the city was built from the scraps scattered throughout the arid desert.
The surface of this ravaged planet has become uninhabitable because of the fierceness of the wind. The people of Dillard chose to settle within the canyons not only to escape the wind but to utilize it to generate power.
This is their main source of power as wind funnels down into the turbine, which moves the blades generating power.
The blades themselves are clamping into the spinning turbine allowing them to be replaced if one falls apart.
Lost Tech Site Thumbnails
Thumbnails of random tech sites lost to time and now discovered by these new scavengers.
The people of Dillard have special scavengers that venture out to the deepest areas of the barren wasteland to discover lost tech that could be used in their ever-growing city.
Many of these sites are either buried or destroyed due to the weather and whatever may have caused the civilization that used to exist here to collapse.

City Thumbnails - Dillard
Initial thumbnails of how I envisioned the city of Dillard to look.
I wanted the look of the city to feel scavenged but also a sense that these people were starting to settle here and build a foundation within the canyon.
Initial thumbnails showcasing other parts of the world that have yet to be explored.
First pass of the building thumbnails for exploration on how the buildings will look.
City Technology - Power
Assortment of tech can be found throughout the city. These range from various solar panels, wind turbine mechanisms, water collectors, etc. These were just sketches for brainstorming what the city utilities would look like.
