Yes know it's been a while since I last posted something that had to do with my Summer Project as I was stuck for a while and didn't know how to move on. But I've been trying to be productive which I think it's the purpose of this project.
So, since I think I've got my head shape, I've been experimenting with body shapes based on different animals from horses and tigers, to flying fish and lion fish. I really don't know what's best. I want my creature to look graceful proud and not threatening. I am liking my first design and the pose of my 7th one. I really don't know. I would like some suggestions please :)
hi Andriana, it is never good to get stuck, but i think you got some great influences here.
ReplyDeleteI really like the 4 and 9 features on the character with the ring around their neck.
reminding me animals like

beautiful yet menacing...
or graceful as a peacock

and pose number 7 has a lot of dynamism.
i think the next step may is decide whether the animal walks, swims or flies
Hey Ruben! Thanks for your advice :)
ReplyDeleteYes I have been looking into these types of Animals like reptiles, birds etc. As for whether my creature will be walking, swimming or flying I think it will be doing a bit of everything. :P
I can imagine it swimming like water snake maybe,
flying on water like a flying fish http://www.google.gr/imgres?q=flying+fish&hl=el&sa=X&biw=1024&bih=677&tbm=isch&prmd=ivns&tbnid=V8r3kmxeXaGQpM:&imgrefurl=http://routes2roots-thalassaki.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post.html&docid=IbQFykS0CNRpHM&w=472&h=719&ei=Xg9MTrmCPMrl4QTswJ2nCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=307&vpy=56&dur=983&hovh=130&hovw=85&tx=120&ty=148&page=1&tbnh=130&tbnw=85&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0
...and then galopimg on the sea side like a horse. So it will be gradually transforming in some way.
I'm with Ruben in regard to the contribution to the design of the crest/collar detail - gives a regal quality; I'd suggest you try elongating the limbs, neck and tail to add more elegance to your creature - think about the curvature of its spine, and maybe exaggerate it further. Did you see this post from Feng Zhu by the way?
