CAA Summer Project 61 Front

For this I was going for a more transformer kind of look where I wanted to give more detail to the machine by using more geometric shapes to separate the silhouette. Since the original silhouette looked chunky and transformer like already I took influence from that and the objects given to us for details on the wings. I personally like how this came out and I like the touch of colour with the glow coming from the eyes as it gives the machine more of a creepy feel and sells the robotic look to it.

CAA 79 Final turnaround

Well I finally moved into uni , yay! And I was in the mood to get my head in the zone and draw! So I thought why not do some more turnarounds for the summer project and I started with 79! I like it , I feel like the shrubs attached to the creatures body make the creature seem more 3D and I think this is one of my more creative and unusual designs. What do you think is the better out of the two life forms I`ve drawn already? Should I print out them both and bring them to the presentation next week?

CAA Final Structure #62

                              

 I went with 62 because after choosing to go with 51 for my machine I wanted to go with a different option so I wasnt doing the same image twice. My original thought was I wanted the structure to look like a shrine ,however, after doing some initial sketches I was struggling to develop the two side planes into more humanoid figures .So , I gained inspiration from Tera Online where I wanted to combine the structure with nature and because the holes looked like a circuit board to me I was inspired to develop it around the idea of electricity combining with nature.

CAA Final inspired #51 Machine

Inspired by the structure #51 while I was drawing it as a final for my structure pieces I found the shapes looked good as a machine and decided to roll with it to create a kind of hunter robot design . I wanted the developed design to have hints of other machine designs I made such as the scales and use of the face like design for details ,but, I also wanted the final to have a creepy look so I took the back view to my advantage and made the space at the front almost like a screen.

CAA Final #55 Update

I wanted to develop #55 because I felt like I could make it into a grim reaper type of machine ,however, when drawing it I felt like it was more of a life form than a machine ,so, I felt I should change it`s category. 

CAA Final #58 Update

I originally chose 58 to be my machine final ,however, as I was drawing it`s turnarounds I was struggling to put together how he would look from the side and back view and I couldn`t see how the different components would fit together. So , I won`t be doing 58 as my final machine afterall . I also learned that placing my drawings on a light grey background suits much better as my original background with white I felt it made my drawings like they were floating and to clean looking. I much prefer the grey background.

CAA Final 3 Life Form #72

CAA Final 3 Possibilities - Need help deciding

These are the images I`ve selected as possibilities for my final 3. Although I`m not sure which 3 to choose so I thought I`d ask your opinions as to what 3 I should select.The images are colour coordinated as to each category .

Red - Machines
Blue - Life Forms
Green - Structures

CAA Summer Project 92-99

CAA Summer Project 84-91

                         

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these life forms as I drew inspiration mainly from my surroundings and also from several games I played. For example , 86 I drew inspiration from The Mother in Dragon Age Origins , I wanted to create a rather humanoid figure which looked deathly thin and demonic. I wanted to create something monstrous a I enjoyed drawing these type of creatures. 88 Was inspired when visiting the Notting Hill Festival , I wanted to create something theatrical and I was inspired by the outfits and carnival members with the enlarged lips which I wanted to make an exaggerated feature. My favorite ones out of these lot are 84 and 91 although I do like the body of 86 and the armored scales of 90. Although using these as inspiration when it came to designs I used the objects we were challenged to use to create the foundations of these creatures.

CAA Summer Year 67-83

                                           

I wanted to focus this page on more life forms than anything because my previous ones were more focused on machines and structures. I found the initial silhouettes much tougher to create life forms with than the structures ,so, I thought I`d revert back to drawing which I found creating life forms with much easier. I did these thumbnails with my graphics tablet since I wanted to vary mediums in my summer project.My favorite ones out of these would be 67,72,73,78,79 and 82. Although I want to try a few more life forms since I`ve been inspired by several games such as Tera online , Aion and Dark Souls.
