mood board
Had some from a previou breif i used for a sea creature. Manta rays look so majestic, they almost dont look real. Liked the Sun fish with it's vertical fins.

Did some rough sketches, picked out the 3 i felt were strongest.
Of the three the first one resembled a Starcraft 2 Corrupter unit, the second one didnt work out well from the silhouette so i settled on the third one.
Decided i make most things monsters so made the face more friendly here.
Wanted to give Zbrush a try for this, just using the dynamesh feature.
This was as far as i got before being kicked out of class, just a simple photoshop paint over with lighten, darken, multiply and colour layers. Used reference for some details.
