Stuck on this project. Need some ideas on what to add to it. More progress shots here. Detail on the little dude.. Any ideas?
Is it based off some real world example? i.e. Buddha? Or is it a complete design from fiction? When I'm brainstorming illustrations (normally less monsterish, and more for the purpose of apparel/poster designs), i find doing a variation on some RL inspiration is best.
Nah it's completely fictional.. though I do see the Buddha resemblance. It was however loosely inspired by the trolls in Resident Evil 4. No refs used.. just the image in my head.
it looks good. one suggestion would be make him hold both his hands side by side palms facing up with like sand in his hands and falling out between the spaces in his fingers and stuff and have another one of those little guys sitting in the pile of sand he has in has hands and have it looking up it him . i think thtd look good if you understand what im saying
I really like how the face is turning out. The way the ridges are forming and how big the space is where his mouth will be. Will his mouth be vertical instead of horizontal? Cause that would be pretty cool. I could see there being like some feelers or something. Very crab or insect like. I like it. I think you have infinite places to take this work. Please post an update when you get further involved.
