The goal of this piece was to create a creepy creature inspired by blending an animal and the purpose or qualities of a machine. I started brainstorming for this character concept by picking five animals and a few machines and combining them in twenty five sketches. I then picked the character concept I liked the most, which was a horseshoe crab and a mulcher, and created a character sheet exploring the design of this creature. I drew out facial expressions, appendages, textures, poses, and different points of view. I then used this sheet to create a backstory or biography for my creature. This biography was added to a final character sheet that included a full color illustration, human-to-creature size comparison, close up details, and additional illustrations. This final sheet was then used as the basis for the 3D model I sculpted in Zbrush. I began sculpting by blocking out the basic shapes and then adding details and textures. I finally painted the model and then rendered it to turn around.
