## Concept / Design Notes

### Official Website

**Exploration team, who witnessed the deep space looking back**

Faced with the sudden upheaval, the expedition team tried their best to open the door to leave, and what appeared in front of them was a magnificent and shocking interstellar spectacle—a huge deep-space eye staring at everything, responding to their search, and bringing Here comes the call of the night.

The Weeping Clown uses machinery to perfect and strengthen his body, with wires of different colored bundled together and wrapped around his shoulder; a cannonball is placed on the metal plate on his chest, and the ultra-short fuse means that it will detonate immediately when lit; the rocket is made up of five segments, and the painted words "safe & speed" is a beautiful wish, but it will be difficult to achieve on this journey. This may be the meaning behind his name, "Weeping Clown - Heavy Bomber".

### Social Media

#### Planning and Design Idea

The "Heavy Bomber" that Weeping Clown plays who is not professional. However, he plays the role of a rocket expert. The cheapness of clothing and props is more conspicuous on him. Both his identity and clothes hinted at the original purpose of the shooting - not to complete an excellent work, but to cater to the laughter of the weird audience with the unexpected and vulgar and scary performances on the spot.

In addition, the Weeping clown's hand-hold shot out to the scene in Jules Verne's " De la Terre à la Lune" and the segment in Georges Méliès'" Le Voyage dans la lune ".

#### Art Design Ideas

As a cannon and rocket enthusiast, which providing power support for space flight. With the information support of astronomers (WuChang), he proposed the concept of cannons launching missiles.

The overall design background of the first sketch is slightly off, between atomic punk and modern special photography, and the design is relatively average, without highlighting the characteristics and characteristics of the characters.

The overall feeling of the second picture has improved a lot, and the design is more interesting. In order to consider the overall sense of COA series, we chose to adjust based on Picture 1, changing the design of the head wires, eyes, neck wires, etc. which were too delicate, and also adjusting the color and shape of the legs to make the character more stable.

(Final Design)

#### Detailed display of the original painting

1. The rocket experts' funny look of wearing a hat with a timer on top to detonate the wires is also a professional identity symbol. Some loose gunpowder was hidden in the hat for emergencies.
2. The overall plastic texture of the leather spacesuit suggests the absurdity and loopholes of the special shoot. The wires on the neck are an unpredictable symbol of danger. The words on the chest, "Safe&Speed", imply irony but also serve as the advertising slogan of the train company.
3. The cartoon moon face mask on the waist pays tribute to the classic image of George Méliès's " Le Voyage dans la lune " in the drama movie, and also emphasizes the dramatic meaning of the special shooting process. The strange eyes and cheeks of the mask are given a demonic toy style.
4. The prosthetic limb is the personal feature of the rocket expert, the baked black lacquer wrapping enhances the texture and also suggests that it is actually a mini cannon rack, similar to a cannon craft.

#### Interface Display Design

The special effect fades away, and the "Heavy Bomber " in the real scene is taking pictures while holding the model. As the picture shakes, a tentacle quietly touches the planet model, but the "Heavy Bomber " is not aware of it.

As the background popped up a train advertisement with its logo of rails to the moon, "Heavy Bomber took out a handheld toy rocket and stood on the ground, then showed off the toy's surroundings by the side. At this moment, a tentacle stretched out from the scene and took away the handheld object in a sudden opportunity." Heavy Bomber" turned back with a strange feeling.

#### The Exhibition of the Home

The "Heavy Bomber" stared blankly to one side, accompanied by his breathing, a golden light flickering in his chest.
