FCGM4009 :VISUAL DESIGN 15/16 WEEK_02_ CRUSTATIONS


For our next homework task, we had to create three characters that were based on crustations. These characters were to be created in Photoshop, by using a silhouette approach. This meant that we started by drawing out a silhouette of a shape, then worked over this with shading and detail, and then color. These were in the style of a concept artist who also works in this style. 




The first of the characters (left), is my personal favorite of mine and the one which i feel as if I have made the most effort and skill with. This is because of its subtle use of color and the crustation feel to it. however on this character, I don't like its mouth, as this looks a bit too cartoon like.

The second of my creatures, looks good and I'm happy with most of it. The only thing I would change if doing it again, would be the addition of more detail on the shell head, as its not too clear that the head is supposed to be shaped like a shell. Also the mouth I would darken to reveal the teeth more. The color I surprisingly like as it gives a visual element to it that is quite outrageous yet fun.  

The third one I like, because of the detail and brush variation I have used. The head however is too carton and not crustation looking. This would be something to change If I had a chance to do it again. 

Inspiration, mood board, that I put together to help me come up with ways of structuring my different creatures.
