Perspective refresher (Tank)

Thumbnail for the design and angle I was looking for, working out how far away the vanishing points need to be and where the horizon line is.

My finished perspective drawing of the Abraham's Tank, using the thumbnail to work out where my points and horizon would've been. Quickly sketching in lightly rough shapes helped a lot in working out where certain parts went on the page.

Nightcrawler


Here's a quick-ish 3D model of Nightcrawler following the steps I learnt from the Minotaur tutorials. I'm happy with the outcome as it didn't take very long to reach this stage of the model. The Minotaur tutorials really helped me with symmetry modelling and quick box modelling as well as good topology.

Underwater Creature Research


I've decided to go down the track of making a scary, mean looking fish inspired by features of the Goliath Tiger Fish.

Fish designs



Some design sketches I did planning on what I wanted my Monster fish to look like. Inspirations from Catfish and Tiger Fish. 

River Monster





Here's my 3D model for the fish monster assignment. I used features from different fish that I know of and which I looked at. The main inspirations came from the Tiger Fish while watching River Monsters. I'm rather happy with the end result however I struggled texturing the fins as I had to take an existing fin texture and warp it in different shapes to fit the different fins. The eye was also difficult as it doesn't blend in with the head of the fish very well.
