INSPIRATION MOODBOARDS AND CONCEPTS

A piece as part of my BA Hons Degree Final Project.

This creature is a supporting piece for my Nefeloma Character, Her familiar and companion.

Modeled and sculpted in Z Brush and 3DS Max, textured in Substance Painter and rendered in Keyshot.
I wanted to treat this piece as a 3D concept- so designing the creature as I sculpted by using my relevant research material.

A few sketches helped with the direction of the creature.

His wings represent the cosmos- he brings the beautiful night, and it is also a type of camouflage. 
I wanted him to look other-worldly, adorning decorative armour to connect her more to Nefeloma. They are more like partners, well looked after and like-minded, almost sharing a consciousness represented with their similar eyes.
