Environment Studies.

These are some environments i did for my class at CDA taught by James Paick. I just did concepts based a story i was working on with Devin trying to flesh out our world.

Resolved Creature Photo Collage

This is a new process that i'm practicing in Creature Design Class. I start with a photo of a person and drop photo textures and use liquefy and warp to change proportions.

Pumpkinhead inspired Creature Design

This is a design inspired by Pumpkinhead. i basically took the idea of front-heavy knuckle walking primates and tweaked the proportion giving it a more spider-like read. I gave it an alien head inspired by sea life and little nasty arms to push the sickly scary vibe.
I will update with a fully resolved version later.

Weremolerat creature concept

Hey guys,
this is my weremolerat concept for Creature Design class. Although the main influence is a molerat, I incorporated more aggressive hyena elements making it more top heavy with a hunch and a hump. cuz face it, molerats aren't very aggressive, more sickly with baggy skin. The Hyena element also let me add some mangy fur which also reads as residual human hair after the transformation. I had tons of fun with the sickly aspect of the molerat. Jared Marantz pointed out that wrinkling occurs where there is the most movement. Everybody loves cataracts!

peace out folks!

Resolved Character Creature

Following an awesome critique from Jerad Marantz i had to fix this guy up make him look more...live action, somethings about his nose were getting too stylized and was losing all the good textures from my photos when i painted over them, also the arms and legs were a bit muddy so i cleaned them up a bit, Cheers folks enjoy!
