20Creatures - Day 8 - WIP

oh dear! no time to finish this guy today, so I'm posting the WIP, partly in the hope that some of you guys might like to see some of what I do to go about building up a creature (if I haven't already started with a completed sketch).

so I guess this guy is about halfway to the detailing stage, and the background is obviously not even started. (though at least I will add one this time ).

At the moment I'm just working out the lighting, you can see coming through that layer an anatomical sketch that I did to ensure that I'm going to end up with something based in reality. It's not something I do every time, but it can be useful, and I find speeds up the process instead of as you might think slowing it down.

OK description too long Unfortunately I'm heading to Prague now, so chances are I won't have anymore time on this until Sunday... (so much for a creature a day huh? )

so by all means drop by then to see the (hopefully) finished piece... oh and yes he will have lots of teeth

Thanks for viewing!
