The secret lair of the Bayou Inventor

For characteristic of Bayou inventor , I am going to create an inventor who is an anti-social person, living in the 30th century with high technology and low privatisation. He escaped from his home place and went to the aboriginal amazon bayou , the other reason he went to the bayou was because he was trying to become a creator rather an inventor ,amazon is the best place he though he can study field with nutrients and living things. He started living there for years to create his strange babies.

As I found my topic was quite tricky that I got two different structures between outside and inside the secret lair. And I was think about the reason of why an inventor used to live in high-technology atmosphere went to a aboriginal bayou in a logical way, and most of the scientist will go to the field to observe the samples , and that makes me develop my thumbnails of creating his strange living things where in the glass tubes. In the other hand, I also tried to present the environment around the secret lair . I was inspired by the structure of the submarine, a humans made form and u can see the sea though the windows .And I was also thinking about the tree house structure which apply to my interior space materials .

By doing the design of hero prop for the thumbnails, I am going to design the tube ( or the container) for the strange organic things . As I am presenting the pride of the inventor which trying to become the creator, trying to become god, and they will always create something new but you still can see where the ideas come from .Based on the character profile , he was trying to create living things and I think eggs shape and also the nutrient water inside the tube were something the inventor tried to learn from God. And I am trying to design the hero prop more organic and cell form ,than glass or metals.

I like no.5 as it looks like a rain drop. Rain is a gift from god in the past , to make humans living and I think that is a good way to present the strange creation and they are meaningful to the inventor.
