In the distant future, society barely holds on. Global atmospheric density has undergone a sudden and unexplainable change, turning toxic to majority of human beings. While some lifeforms have found ways to adapt and evolve to the changing planet, human life on the surface is all but non-existent. Any surviving fragments of humanity have resorted to living within closed ecological outposts or self-sustained bunker complexes.
Few are willing to risk the long-term health implications of regularly venturing to the surface. As an alternative, pockets of survivors have begun deploying Proxies; homebrewed robotic soldiers built and operated by a small number of technologically savvy specialists. A Proxy serves as their pilot’s avatar in the outside world, being contracted for jobs ranging from mundane scavenging expeditions, construction operations, or military presence patrols.
Each pilot is responsible for their own Proxy, and as they embody their drones on a regular basis, it isn’t uncommon to develop a personal attachment to their bot. Many take to decorating and dressing their robotic doppelgangers as they would themselves.
--------------------------------------
With all the scenes I was making recently, it suddenly sparked my creative drive again. I had also read this short story about a robot in the post apocalypse that believed it was human, so that also played a part in the inspiration.
I know the drone theme of minifigs isn't anything new here, but this is just a new IP I might be playing around with. Think of a mix between Avatar, The Division, Anthem, and throw in the Simulacra from Titanfall 2 for the aesthetic inspiration for the robots.
I guess its also one of the few scenes I've tried to keep pseudo-purist. The only real modding I did was add some fabric bits to the robots and add some stickers from other pieces.
I probably put way too much editing work into this pic than I really needed to, I guess just to flex my photoshop skills. I'll probably post some explored views of the scene. I spent a week on it and you can only really see half the details in this shot.
If you fave, please comment as well
