Perspective Analysis VD-S07

Week 7 of the visual design class had us analyzing images for perspective. We put images into Photoshop and Using the pen tool drew in the lines to indicate perspective, vanishing points and the horizon line. 

Here is my analysis of these images.

Tentacle Monster

So this weeks visual design project was to come up with a tentacle monster. As normal we started out by making a moodboard for inspiration.

Then we created some sketches/roughs. My favourites were all the creatures on the left of the page. However, I could only choose one so I went with the top left creature.

So I started making the silhouette of the top left guy but when I had it finished it looked a bit unimpressive. So I added a large bulk to the top of it and 2 pairs of tentacles. I also added smaller tentacles to the monster's shoulders. Once I had completed the monster I thought it looked a bit bland. So I decided to experiment and, using a similar technique with layer styles as the lava monster, added electricity to the large tentacles. I was happy with the result so added a colour layer to show the light on the tentacles. I am very pleased with this monster.
