Elemental Creature Design and Modeling
This artifact demonstrates three elemental creatures , designed from 2D concept stage to 3D modeling .
In 2D concept stage , I focused on designing the unique creatures and the background story to make the creatures more vivid and convincing . Part of the monster`s body was made with hard surface , like stone , shell , or metal . Those elements were selected to serve the theme of the creature itself . Unique visual effects ( VFX ) were additionally designed according to the properties of different creatures to enhance their characteristics .
Through the exercise of this project , I have increased my range from building character models to designing original concepts . It has expanded both my design abilities and drawing abilities , and by making three models of monsters , my sculpting ability has improved immensely as well . I have learned how to find references more effectively and absorb and optimize production methods from tutorials into my own highpoly production pipeline . In addition , I also learned how to rig , skin and make simple animations , as well as create special effects . Each of these skillsets will be useful in the future .
