APCG 498 Work Progress September Week 1

September Daily Progress Week 1:

For the first week of September I used this previous orthograhpic concept art as a basis for my tiger creature model and redesign reference.

                                  I also added this variation concept art into revision and redesign.

                       I got this side view reference photo of a tiger and using to redesign my tiger creature.

I cleaned up the body and color from my previous concept art and kept the head for my new tiger redesign.

  I implemented my tiger head into the reference photo of the tiger photo and thought of how to redesign my tiger body and other components.

The previous tiger head that I inserted into the tiger body photo didn't quite align as a side image so I redesign and aligned my tiger's skull and head along the tiger reference photo. Following my previous concept art references, I added an ice chest piece body armor to the chest and underbelly. I also included an ice row of spinal columns along the back of my tiger and along the tail. Addition accessories include the ice gauntlets on both the front and back legs of the tiger, although I think I might need to make them bigger and taller closer to the elbow and knee. I'm also having some problems with drawing the front view because of the complex head crest and the appearance it will take. I'll also include the yellow tendril hairs later into my model because drawing them into my orthographic reference art is going to block out some of the reference art and get messy. Pozzi advised me to draw multiple variations of how I might want the head crest to look like in front view before finalizing the front view drawing and also to look at head crest references of triceratops for variation more information.

Next week I'll have both the front and side view of the orthographic finished and start working on the basic mesh head.
