This week was the start of the backyard slice project. I contemplated a lot on what theme I should go for since a sci-fi neon sign alley would be too common or just a roughen up dark alley would be too basic.
In the end, my concept for this project is to make a Japanese convenience store alley with vending machines

Convenient store alley sketch
The convenience store will be based heavily on the Japanese convenient store I went to the most which is Lawson. I want a soft evening vibe from this project with small details or posters and graffiti to rough it up. Not enough to make it scary, just miz feelings.
Blocking out the alley
Starting out by blocking the basic shapes of the object from my sketch. I use colours to mark which object is which.
adding bins and details to the shop, using insets and extrude tool to make the wall not completely flat.
Adding details to the vending machines with slice tool, cutting and extruding the slot for the cans to be in. I inset and push back the advertisement area of the vending machine to give dimension and mark myself where to draw the ads in.
Duplicating the vending machines
Because of the tris I have at the moment is not a lot so I decided to add a gachapon machine in to the scene. ( Gachapon is a vending machine variety that dispends capsule toys, originated in the 1960s in Japan )

I am so excited about this project and love how this turned out. I added the level of the road and the walkway to separate it in the final blocking and add a sign to the pole which will be ads on it later. The red line on the store is a strip of LED light that will be the main lighting of this piece.
