FinalfinalFINAL designs : D

Had a tutorial with Nigel today. Jeebus - the dude knows his stuff. I was in awe : 0

He basically helped me with shading/light on my Abyss Swimmer, which now looks AWTHUM. I really have learnt a lot this term concerning Photoshop and I've had help from my friends as well. Hopefully I will continue to improve after the course is over. Here are my new and improved designs for your perusement -

Eeeeeh......my poor, poor aching joints >.<

I have no idea how it was done, but I've done the back of my neck and left shoulder in royally. Porogress has been slow the past few days, but it's also been steady.


Coloured ye olde Swimmer and F Walker. I'm doing this poster quite systematically, so there is a reason the Swimmer's eyes aren't coloured etc. I'm having a tutorial with Nigel tomorrow so I can get some tips on how to make things look wet etc tongues and skin. I might do some more tonight if my shoulder will allow it.

I've been playing Dragon Warrior/Quest VII as of late on PSP. It's (so far) soooo much better than DQVIII in terms of story and character. The first island you go to (you're a fisherman's son) has probably the saddest monster story ever. Seriously, I had a lump in my throat T_T

Working on final piece

Technically, I have done all my work for the term - I have finished what I stated I would do in my learning agreement. However, in a bad to get better at Photoshop and extra marks, I have opted to do a poster of all three of my creatures. I've already penciled it and lined it today - as well as finishing my artistic statement and CV - so here it is.


It's a little jumbled at the moment but hopefully it will come to fruition once I start colouring it.

Oh my God, most frustrating skeleton EVAR

I didn't think drawing THAT many ribs/vertebrae would be that hard, but it was. Very much so.


It's a little simply annotated, it would seem that that's all a snake skeleton consists of. It's was difficult thinking of a good pose to have her in, so I do apologise for the overlapping ribs. They overlap correctly, but look a little too hard and it's like looking at an optical trick >.<

Now that all my creatures all "done" so to speak, I'm going to try and get tatoos done for each of them (if you remember from my presentation, all the creatures have a little tribal mark resembling their head) and a poster (for extra marks ^_^)

Finished the None Walker! Now I need to draw 109 vertebrae for it's skeleton ^_^

Yay! Finished finally. This was prolly the trickiest one to colour - I had three different layer sets, plus lots of other layers floating about.


Those are my three creatures for I Go From One To Another! Now, onto my last skeleton.

Focusing on the None Walker

Been at my third and final creature these past few days - currently I've been working on this one for two days - one day for lining, one day for generally getting on with the piece. Haven't decided on a scale colour yet, but I'll mess around with that tomorrow. I'm trying to get the None's final and skeleton done by Thursday/Friday morn. I might not be able to do the skeleton, but I should definitely be able to finish the final.

Looking forward to the London Expo this coming weekend ^_^ They give out Monster Hunter T-Shirts, and by God am I getting one.
