Creature Concepts Portfolio

GREENIE

This cute little forest creature was inspired by films such as Spiderwick Chronicles and The Dark Crystal, both of which I loved as a kid. For this project I wanted to focus on combining a 2D and 3D workflow. My process was to start with 2D silhouettes and sketches, then sculpt in zbrush and do the final paint over in photoshop. 

FLUTTER FAIRY

This tiny creature is apart of a larger fairy colony and her role is a harvester/gatherer. I set myself this brief to try and refine my 2D painting process and ultimately create a hero shot, a turnaround and some callouts. 

NIGHTMARE MONSTER

This child-eating monstrosity was inspired by The Seamstress monster design in the 2009 film '9', which has haunted my own nightmares since childhood. The brief we were given in my character design class was to create a main monster for a film similar to Stranger Things. My main focus this time was on shape language and mood lighting to make this monster especially terrifying. 

I then tried to use shape language to make a baby version as cute as possible...

That's all! Have a nice day :)
