I know I'm a little late getting this post up but I've really busy. Always, last week in Art Ⅱ was really fun. We explored animal anatomy and texture by experimenting with two animals in particular and combining them into a brand new one. Mostly all the assignments this was centered around this objective. The two animals I decided to combine were a peacock and a rabbit.
We had to do several assignments in preparation for the creation of this new animal, ranging from animal studies to texture studies to image references but the most beneficial and interesting by far was coming up with creature concepts. The goal of this assignment was to come up with three very varied creature designs for your combined animal. This was great lesson because it reinforced the importance of the exploration of one's subject matter. Not limiting yourself to just your initial concept can lead to unexpected, surprising results, and it did.
After we came up three creature concepts, the next step was for us to decide on one to complete with a full range of value, a skeletal study and a construction shapes form.
I ended up choosing the concept on the top left.
Ultimately, this was a great week. I learned a lot about the mechanics of animals a why it is so important to remember when designing creatures. There are a lot of real world factors that I would have never considered had not learned this lesson in animal anatomy and texture.
