Creature concept for Zbrush

Process work!

My first step was to create a page filled with tiny thumbnails of creature silhouettes. Then out of those all, I chose 10 that I liked most. I, then, added some details over the thumbnails. Apparently, I over-delivered the assignment. Oh well.. It's not so bad anyway since I took less than 15 minutes detailing each..

Here's my favorite out of the creatures that I picked.

After a feedback session, it was decided that the pose was not very clear. If we break the whole thing into just a silhouette, the form and shape of the creature is lost. I made more thumbs to pose this creature and came up with this.

Then I created a line art for feedback.

After the feedback session, I made some more changes to the creature. I made the body skinnier, elongated the hands, enlarged the wings and made the head more bug-like.

And at last, I finally made the colored illustration of the creature!

Brothers Grimm Illustration

I made these 3 illustrations for one of my classes at DigiPen.

The Musician (the fox) was the one I chose to finalize.

I was a bit disappointed when my professor did not realize that I was going for a Miyazaki kind of anime look for The Elves and the Shoemaker illustration, even though 4 people said it looked like a Miyazaki movie...

Here's Doctor Know-All. This is my least favorite out of these three.
