Another final assignment is the aquatic creaute.
As mentioned in the Terrestrial Creature, I have worked on Creature Design with certain requirements for motivational reasons as well as educational ones.
The creature has to fit in some kind of logic. This means I had to do lots of research within the animal kingdom. Besides looking at the existing animals, the different kind of mimicries were essential for my artwork. The procedure of mimicry allowed me to give the design choice a logical feature as in "this creature could be a real animal".
I show you my process of the aquatic creature I have created with the setting above.
The appearance of the final illustration is based on scientific artwork and the way Kevin Catalan present his beasts.
All thumbnails are different combinations of aquatic animals and animals with an amphibious lifestyle.
The idea of the aquatic creature and the mimicking of nature for their hunting behavior.
Turnaround with and without color for possible 3D process.
The illustration that shows the creature in their possible environment including their hunting behavior and their prey.
