Inner Monster

Working on some hair/fur. Still in progress...

Details and skin texture

Here I have now added some skin texture and details to the monster. Still getting there...

CHANGES

So I've made some changes here and there...
- I changed the horns a few times because they were too BIG and it seemed like it limited the movement of my monster and the proportions did not look correct.
- I roughly sculpted some hair/fur on its back to see the shape and silhouette. I will fix it soon.
- I then made some bigger adjustments to the monster's face shape, jaw and replaced the teeth to make it look more fierce and more like a strong preditor. And last increased the tail a bit (I was actually thinking of making it much longer).

Got my pose. In the middle of refinement.

Here is my progress so far. I still need to pose my character and add lots of detail refinement.

I have done a lot of thinking and I have decide to redesign my monster, because I feel my design is too much of werewolf and I am playing it too safe. So here is my new monster design concept. More monster and more horror, and more focused on a set amount of animal parts.

I have been working on some anatomy and proportions. There is still a lot of refining to do. I have been deliberately sculpting without symmetry to create different proportions of the monster. I also thought that Dr Frankenstein may not have had all the right parts for his creation, so he had to use other animal part as a substitute. So some parts of the body may be bigger than others, and some muscles may be slightly out of place.

Here is a starting scuplt. I'm not too happy with the shape and pose yet. I shall go and get more reference and more reference.

I made some small adjustments and added a back story for the monster.

I have been working on a new sketch. Been experimenting with LOTS of body parts and proportions; and constantly looking at references. I feel that I have my direction but I will keep refining and refining. Please criticise and comment :) Helps me a lot, thanks.

Here are some experimentations with some silhouettes, and a sketch. I have been playing around with body parts and proportions. I will keep experimenting and see what I can produce. Please feel free to comment and criticize. I need it :) 

A mood board/mind map to help me in my experiments.

Below is just a rough guideline to help me stay on top of my plans and experiments...mwhahahaha!

I have created a very rough breakdown of the 'directors' notes and project brief. I threw in some ideas and thoughts to help me in the next step of my process. I will create a more finalised mindmap for the next post.
