The final 3D sketch model I have chosen also makes use of voids. I felt this model represented an interesting and aesthetically pleasing figure while at the same time maintaining the properties of dominant, subdominant, and subordinate pieces.
FINAL MODEL
From the model above, I created a 2D analysis of how to improve it. I like having the voids in the middle between the subdominant (SD) and the dominant (D) pieces connected by the subordinate (SO) piece. But as mentioned in the 2D sketch analysis, I feel as though the D piece needs to have more presence to fully capture the essence of a dominant piece. Therefore, though it is larger lengthwise, I want to add more volume to the piece. The length of the SO and the SD are also quite similar (suggests same family) so I will shorten the length of the SO to clearly define their differences.
Yes the “hovering” effect of your SD was interesting. The tricky part is adjusting the length of SO so that it doesn’t overshadow the SD from the top view. I can see lots of thought went into the 2D Sketch Analysis :)
