Week 8 - Studio Practice

 Before class I painted most of this companion character bust, then did a dark version in class. I also started on the full character sheet for this character, although I think I'll redraw it in an A-pose more like our Konflikt '47 character sheets from last year. I also sketched some more mutated people designs.

 

Finished the linework from week 7 - taking a lot of inspiration from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime (Netflix 2012). I like the look of varying the line weight etc like this, but it takes ages.

 

 

I added the pupils after the team discussed different levels of mutation amongst colony members.

 

 Updated linework.

 

 

I'd like to refine the lighting and reflections for this one, it definitely looks like its glowing, but I think I need to have the eyes reflect some of that pink.

 

 

Onto the monster designs, these are people who have been consumed by the fungus from the inside-out, as it has been eating away at the microplastics found in their bodies. I started these at home, then finished the sketches in class. I've tagged this as toolkit 2 as well because I used techniques and knowledge from it so far to draw these.
