A big focus of this piece was detail. I decided I was going to cut every single hair on this monster after designing the final product.
What makes it different from a lot of my other posts is that this Illustration was made through multiple sketches and developments focused around the key characteristics of the creature I found from my research.
- Hairy
- Long legs
- backwards feet
- Large Eyes
- Iron Teeth
In this case the large amount of character concepting and composition sketching was booth a blessing and a hinderance. At one point I got too lost in it. But taking a step from previous briefs where it got too much. I left it for about half a day and came back to my sketches. Looked over them critically and curated things in both the character designs and compositions that worked. Which is how I was able to get the idea finalised.
The way I put this all together was a using digital collage as a cleanup (slight enhancement tool). Realising that for me digital is the final 10% of a process. Which if done well takes my images to a whole new level. The importance of using digital sparingly is crucial for my practice, keeping my work to it's highest standard.
