My apologies for a very late start and a big thanks to Igo for helping me get together information and reference. Like Shane with Jam #3, Igo pretty much put this jam together for me. Thanks man!

The task for this weeks jam will be Creature Design. The type of creature I'm after is the type you think you would find in a swamp in the middle of a deep dark and dank forest. So a creepy amphibious type creature, able to dwell on both land and in water. I see it being more water dwelling than land though, so keep that in mind.

To clarify, you need to draw a creepy amphibious type creature, able to dwell on both land and in water. More water dwelling than land.

Tips -

Igo wrote:
Head Studies

With creature designs I've found that a lot of guys, Weta doods and more importantly me, start out with head studies. These can be as rough or as refined as you want. Work loose on a bunch and tighten up one or two.

The idea is once you nail the head, it's pretty easy for the body to just follow.

Body

Take a finished head study and make a bitching body for it.

Once you get the body, color studies, and of course throw in some sort of scale thing for the end. A common thing is tossing in an average human all blacked out to show how big or small it may be... or a coin, or a city scape, or whatever.

A lot of guys LOVE putting them in environments as well at the end. So following colors, or finished pencils, toss it in an environment, eating something, fackin' or sleeping... whatever.


Enjoy!

Recommended concept artists to check out before beginning. Recommendations supplied by Igo.

This has to compete with the AJB BATTLE!?! DAMN YOU DYLAN!!! *shakes fist angrily*

You might wanna bolden (that the right word?) or italicize the main swamp amphibian creature thing though, since you nearly quoted me for what the jam is on, and people might just do whatever they want... like a gay cat.

STOKED! Im expecting some turn-outs from certain some-ones, and if they dont... BANNANATED!

holy crap dan, thats great! brilliant linework. some great phallic shapes there too ;)

Karl: um yeah, i was trying to push those values, but i usually end up losing some important stuff when i do that. I've gotta find a better balance. the bubbles are his yeah, i was thinking of flamingos and the way the filter liters and liters of scummy water with their teeth thingys.

hey thanks ryudan :]

there's a couple of photo drops in there for textures and some of the water to be fair (mainly just the front tree and the center water area is a fairly major drop) - so my rendering isn't too spectacular - but if you like any of the rest then hurray :P

also you planning to color your's in??
