What is the project about?

This is a challenge that I created for myself to develop my character design skills.

It consists of selecting four important/well-known historical characters & placing them into four different science-fiction worlds (the more random the better).

In this project, I show the result of this challenge.

NIKOLA TESLA

This is a character that I made by taking "Nikola Tesla" & setting him in a "Steampunk" world.

Inspiration

This was the character who pushed me to do this challenge. I was browsing the “Bioshock Infinite’s” homepage on Steam & there I saw a tag that caught my attention: “Steampunk”. I did not know what that tag meant, so I started searching on the internet and got inspired and fascinated by the aesthetic I found there.
I wanted to create something with that aesthetic, so I came up with the idea of creating a character, & Nikola Tesla was just the right one because the "Steampunk" aesthetic reminds me a lot of him.

While I was drawing this character, I was listening to music that gave me "Steampunk vibes". Two of the tracks that I was listening to were "Chronos" by "Danimal Cannon", & "Steampunk Warlord" by "BOSSFIGHT".

Inspiration

A few months ago, I drew Marie Curie as an anime character, but the final result was not completely to my liking, so taking advantage of this challenge, I wanted to make a second attempt.
This character design was a little complicated to create because I could not completely figure out what makes something look "Cyberpunk".
Some of my references for creating the clothes & the whole new image of Marie Curie were the video game “Cyberpunk 2077” & the film “Blade Runner 2049”.

Like the previous one, I listened to "Cyberpunk music" while drawing this character.
Some of the tracks I used were "The Rebel Path" by "P.T. Adamczyk" & "Disco Descent" by "Danny Baranowsky".

L.V. BEETHOVEN

This is a character that I made by taking Ludwig Van Beethoven & setting him in an Atompunk world.

Inspiration

This was, by far, the most complicated character I have done, not because it has a lot of detail or complex shapes, but because I could not find a style for the character that I liked.
Atompunk’s aesthetic itself is the aesthetic that appeals to me the least, but it has some interesting ideas that I wanted to work with.

The references that I used for creating this character were the film "Back to the Future Part 2", the series of video games "Fallout", & the style of the members of the band "Daft Punk".
Two of the tracks that I was listening to while I was drawing this character were "Final Boss" by "Nitro Fun", & "Beethoven Virus" by "Diana".

FÜHRER ADOLF H.

This is a character that I made by taking "Adolf Hitler" & setting him in a "Dieselpunk" world.

Inspiration

One of the subgenres of science fiction that I could not completely understand at the beggining was "Dieselpunk", which is a mix between "Steampunk" & "Atompunk", but without being one or the other. So, while I was searching for references and more information about this style, I found a video game called “Wolfenstein: The New Order” which is based on the "Dieselpunk" context. After playing the game I got fascinated by the whole aesthetic, which made me understand the "Dieselpunk" genre.

A few years ago I got interested in history, an interest which started with World War 2, so I took advantage of that fact and chose "Adolf Hitler" to put him in a "Dieselpunk" world.

Some of the references that I used for creating this version of "Hitler" were the video games "Wolfenstein: The New Order", "Wolfenstein: The New Colossus", & the TV series "The Man in the High Castle".
Also, while I was drawing, the tracks I was listening to for creating these "Dieselpunk vibes" on the character were the soundtrack of "Wolfenstein: The New Colossus" & the soundtrack of "DOOM: ETERNAL".

EXTRAS

At first, the challenge was supposed to be for four characters only, but after I finished with the last one I still wanted to explore a few more genres.
So, I decided to pick two more characters & two more science fiction sub-genres, & the selected ones were the following:

Juana de Arco
X
Cassette Futurism
