Anatomy: Thumbnails

Here are some sketches toward a final idea, I kept getting stuck for inspiration so Leo and J.J. helped critique at each step :)

So as my notes in the image say, with this image I need to stretch it out, make it more elegant, a powerful reach, and this is just so I know what my metamorphosis will look like, then I can draw it from the desired camera angle which i'm thinking positioned at the end of the above hand looking down toward the character. To make this noticeable that it's me, the facial features would e recognisable as my own. A suggestion that Leo said was to see the view down the arm toward the face, this made me think like a slide, so the viewer starts at my hand and the vision slides toward my face then explores the rest of the image.

My favourite so far is the small thumbnail in Figure 6 with the smiley face pointing towards it.

With one week left i've decided to drop my experimentation on this painting and move toward developing a final pose, environment and character now. Here's where I got to anyway.

I was trying to figure out how to paint an Earwig type hard, shiny skin on top of the raw anatomy of humans. Where the muscles overlapped I tried to make them look like 3D layers on top of each other with hard edges and light catching in places.

Anatomy: Photoshop Workshop: Week 03

Just testing out some Earwig skin on human anatomy this week. I'm going to keep working into this one to see what comes out :)

I won't be using this pose for my final, I just thought it would be interesting to test texturing on. If the look works the next step will be to make a morph of both sets of assets such as limbs.

Anatomy: Transparency Tests 01

Some quick tests to see if I can paint transparent skin, insect style. 

I need a lot more practice that's for sure.

I gathered some images for my influence map, these are the key inspirations for a tester piece I wanted to try out.

From the influence map I sketched out an Idea.

I then scanned the sketch and played around with it in photoshop, keeping it quite blocky just to see how it could go.
