The Art of Floro Dery

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

The Art of Floro Dery

Post by Impactor returns 2.0 » Tue May 31, 2005 1:00 pm

Floro Dery was one of the leading designers for Transformers the movie, from a modest Sharkticon to Unicron even Cybertron.
Recently I found a web page full of his work.
Enjoy!

Very cool. I like his designs. Anyone else read the bit about how his designs were mathematically produced? WTF?
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

He appears to be a Pirates of Dark Water fan. Neat. :up:

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Yeah,
Dery designed the Transformers, particularly the background layouts, extensively using the graphs of advanced mathematical equations of 5 different branches of mathematics. In general, he used the subspaces of 3 major groups of the universal mathematical space. The Transformers can be said as the only truly science fiction cartoon that is mathematically designed.
That tottally rocks tho, donnit?? Let's use it in the future! :D And did everybody notice how the movie might have looked even better had the animators been able to do the original designs? Mucho detail.

Excellent linkage, Impy sir. :)

Oh, and thanks to that site, it's brought before us for the first time: The transforming egg!! :lol:

Well, for those who didn't see the site a couple of years ago...

Nice that he's put stuff up, though.
