Those eyes.

This was one of the first tests where they just stared out at you. The red circles make them seem like bots or droids just hovering there.

This image also gave name to the “Sentinels” layout, because it just fits.

I wasn't sure at first whether to keep the alien-looking eyes. Sometimes they seemed creepy and other times comical. I worried they would make the outputs seem campy and less artistic. But they were fun and gave the whole project a new vibe, so they had to stay.

The color palette is “Event Horizon” which did make it into the final project.
