final halloween

decided to rework my surreal design into a kind of monster girl that fits the halloween brief here is my work as it progressed

 my first idea is a pretty standard zombie girl

but the one i am leaning more towards is revamping my surreal character into a more horror filled design.

Halloween? Don't you mean Nightmare Night?

Sakura Bloom

I tried to make this design look slightly water coloured and cartoony to instil more character into the piece

Ink trees

did these to get the form of the tree I plan to design

a couple of mock ups using my ink reference (top one i had to flip over)

My Surreal Character

Initial Ideas

a clock tower made of cardboard boxes

a bloodshot blinking eye embedded into a hand

a surreal character hanging from the ceiling

Surreal Mood Board

all weird and wonderful art that may or may not feature in my final design

final Robot

General Robotious of Sparta

this design is a painted over copy of a still 3d render by copying the shadow of the 3d model onto this design i've made it look more realistic

this design is about 90% finished i plan to add a background, I also have to delete the stray finger that has snuck into the design from the original 3d render

Preliminary Robot Drawings

this 3D model I plan to improve for a final design building upon it in photoshop

a couple of designs i drew at the start of the project, i took a couple of the ideas presented in these drawings into the final thing

Robots

this weeks brief is to design a robot creature I have an idea in my head to kinda do a spartan robot but I will have to see how I want to execute it over the next few days

Tentacles Update

I decided to produce 3 creature concepts and the choose my favourite to develop further. All have some reference into the HP. Lovecraft or/and the thing universe like a mentioned in my mood board

(relevant link http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/H.P._Lovecraft)

my first design is a plant like creature that uses its tentacles for the purpose of mobility, i feel the design works well but it doesn't really portray the threatening nature of a horror based tentacle monster that was my intention

my favourite piece (and the one I am most like to develop) I call the Snap Dragon concept,

the idea was a roiling mass of tentacles with several snarling carnivorous heads....I feel it works well and fits what i wanted to achieve

this tentacle concept came from the idea of a centaur but instead of a man top half it would have several tentacles that reach out and feed the gaping mouth in its neck, i like elements of this concept such as the original concept but I couldn't figure out how such a creature could be developed upon in an original way
