Frog drawing

For Visual Arts we were tasked with making a frog that had the same characteristics as someone who was human.

For the research behind the frog I was going to draw I took inspiration from classic animated movies like Loony Toons.

For example I took inspiration from Michigan J Frog from the Loony Toons episode "One Froggy Evening." (The Episode where a frog sings "Hello my baby hello my honey.")

I also took inspiration from the famous paining of the Dogs playing Poker by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. Even though they were not frogs I still found the idea of an animal playing card games like Poker amusing, so I chose to base my drawing on the same idea.

Before I started the main drawing in Photoshop, I did two sketches in my sketchpad to get a feel for the concept of human like frogs.

For these drawings I decided to make one frog look like someone you would see at a sports event, while the other someone in a management position. 

Here is the final frog drawing that I made in photoshop, I intended to make him look like someone who had a gambling addition of sorts.

Room Drawing

For Visual arts we were tasked with making a small Sci-Fi room. 

For my room I took inspiration from various games such as Titanfall and Star Citizen.

At first I aimed to add clutter to the room like crates and notes. Then I decided to add a dead body in the corner and blood to make it look like an experiment of sorts had escaped. After that was done I decided to add some lighting into the drawing to help set the mood of the area.

Tentacle Monster

For Visual Arts we were tasked with making a tentacle monster creature. For this assignment I decided to make something that was akin to the monsters from the Resistance series. 

Process of making the tentacle monster. Throughout the time I spent drawing the image I made sure to add detail to my work to make the image come alive. For example when drawing the lighthouse I added detail to the building and island surrounding it.

I also added light from the lightning strike onto the tentacles and body in the drawing. This was to make the drawing look more life like and to give the impression that there is some wetness.

Final image.

Inspiration for the monster was taken from the Resistance game series, in which many creatures have various alien like looks. The glowing eyes were a massive influence as I wanted to use the same technique to make the image come to life. Most of the main inspiration came from the Kraken monster that appears throughout the game.

Zombie Textures

As a special task for halloween we were tasked with turning this girl's model into a zombie by editing the texture file.  

For the zombie I added blood effects and cuts, I also made the skin a tiny bit more pale and added blood stains to the clothes of the character. 

Above is the original texture file for the girl.

Above is the edited texture file for the zombie girl, you can see blood stains and cuts all over the clothes and body. I also tried adding small blood stains on the body. 

Lava monster

We were tasked with making a lava monster after being taught how to make lava in photoshop.

For my monster I contemplated many ideas to start with. For example one of the ideas I wanted to do was to make a tornado like lava monster, but decided against it because the idea did not sound as appealing. 

In the end I settled with a T-Rex like lava monster because of my love for Dinosaurs

Dwarf and Elf

We were tasked with making a Dwarf and Elf using the head hight technique to measure their size.

  

For both drawings I used references, like the drawing on the right hand side of the elf for example. 

Pixel art

For class we were taught how to make pixel art, and were given homework to make a pixel robot.

For my robot I made a small robot that took inspiration from Battlestar Galatica.
