Wed 26th Sep Tentacle Final Piece

This is the sketch I decided to use for my final piece. I really liked the hair and wanted to go further by colouring it and possibly modelling it in mudbox.

I really like this final coloured image, although I think that my proportions are definitely off, which is something I plan to work on.

Here is my final render of what I produced in Mudbox. I really like this as I have no used Mudbox before and as hard as it was starting out I eventually got the hang of using it and I'm really happy with my final product.

Tuesday 25th Sep Tentacle Sketches

These are my initial sketches for the tentacle assignment.

 

 

Here I was focusing on a very contrasting face one half is meant to look very pretty and the other is horrible and has tentacles oozing out of her eye sockets, nostrils and ears. I thought this was a good concept for a 3D task rather than 2D, as I feel I haven't been able to get across the effect I wanted properly using 2D.

This is my Machop inspired sketch I used alot of the sea creature references for the head by drawing a Squid like head. I find this sketch very funny and comical but sadly thats not the aim of this particular task, and I feel it would be hard to draw a concept like this without it becoming comical.

 

I really liked this Medusa inspired sketch. I would really like to continue with this sketch possibly.

This guy is not particularly intereting I just thought it would be  cool to see about drawing a normal body with a Squid head for contrast but after drawing it, it just looks silly in my eyes.

 

This was inspired by an Indian God. I thought it was a very cool idea to have a squid in this position looking very eastern. I like this sketch alot i could imagine it looking well with colours added.

This is nother half pretty half ugly concept, i wanted to use the 1950's inspiration but I feel it doesn't come across as well as another sketch I have done.

I really love this sketch. I love how the tentacles look as a 1950's hairstyle all pinned back. I would love to continue with this image.

This was the first sketch I did i was really just experimenting with what i could do whether i should focus on the hair or body with the tentacles. I thought it was hilarious to do pinup leg tentacles.

Monday 24th Sep Tentacles MoodBoard

I've been looking alot at Pin-Up girls and Medusa because I am really interested in doing an alien almost 'Star Trek' inspired Woman who's hair is the tentacles and it look's 1950's inspired hairstyle. I really like the bottom left image because it has the perfect hairstyle I was imagining, hopefully I can show this well through my sketches. I also like the idea of dreadlock inspired tentacles like the way the Predators looks almost like they have dreadlocks.

 

I also looked alot at sea creatures and Pokémon as I had an idea where the character had multiple arms and was doing something like Boxing (the Machop) or A puppeteer who could control many things. I don't know though how I could show this in a sketch but it will be insteresting to see how it turns out.
