Mission statement...

This blog post is a follow up from the introduction post and will explain what it is I plan to do. Which will include aspects such as character design, life-casting the model, sculpting and more! Within this module seven words were provided to choose from;
                                                                                              
  •  Ancient one.
  • Demonic nightmare.
  • Strange beauty.
  • Industrial oddity.
  • Weird beast.
  • Metamorphosis.
  • The future.
 
The initial word that stood out from all the rest was the words 'Demonic nightmare' as its of a subject that I am familiar with, suited to my style of work. That's not to say that the other six words were not considered, at times creatively it can be beneficial to choose a subject matter you are not comfortable with, that is not your usually style of work  in order to get the best results and use of your potential. After going through the other six words given looking at various references to spark inspiration the words that creatively intrigued me most were; strange beauty and weird beast. Although they were not my first choice they still fit in to a style of work that inspires me which is fantasy.
In the end it was in my best interest to go with the word's 'Demonic nightmare' the imagery of what could be created was much stronger than the other two words. I plan to create a hybrid creature, part demon, part human with animalistic features. Less is more, the more simplistic the design is the more disturbing the end result will be which is the desired effect.  Character design will be arriving in posts to come beginning to process.
