Final project ideas

I threw around a couple ideas for a character bust. I wanted to do some sort of non-human, like an alien. My initial ideas were insect or Swamp-thing based.

Alien

Fish-frog

Insect

I started to lean towards the idea of a monster mermaid- something other than the pretty cartoon versions. My inspirations were the Harry Potter concept of a mermaid

and the blue ring octopus, a beautiful but venomous little animal.

Has enough venom to kill 26 adults in minutes

I was sadly deprived of Mudbox but I did draw a bunch of random junk around my house.

Sketches from class, 2/22

Mudbox

 I searched for something I could use reference images to make, like how we did the egg, so I needed something common and fairly symmetrical. I found an image of a skull from both angles, so I went with that. The mouth is where I had a problem, again. It looked ugly and unrealistic so I didn't bother saving it.

Some stuff from class. Second is gesture sketches of people during break. And the skeleton had a helmet on at the time.

From the life drawing mini course in Brower. I don't really like this one and I'm not a fan of working in charcoal.

Drawn by looking at my reflection in a laptop during a lecture.
