You guys think the rendering looks alright? I don't usually like working in black and white- but I think I have found a way to do nicely?
Almost finished the project now, just the front cover etc and then I can start on Pinocchio! Woot!
Rendering experiment for The Orchestra of the Damned project. You might notice the music pattern on his shoulder- this is how I intend to implement the original piece of music I requested.
This character has an eastern feel, but there are a variety of cultural influences for the orchestra as a whole.
"The Social Anxiety monster spends most of it life underground or in secluded sheltered areas, away from human contact. Because of this their skin appears pale and anemic apart from hard plates that serve as as a means of defense.
They will shy away from all contact, even from a fellow monster making them elusive and rarely seen. They are from the same biological family as Anxiety and Paranoia but due to their extreme way of life they have evolved to look quite different."
This is a special monster design, based on my own experiences with social anxiety. There are a lot of design choices to this monster that reflect me and my own difficulties.
Last Pokedesign challenge for a little while...

I was dreading this, but im really please with the outcomes. I put more time into the designs and colouring for these- It shows.
I'm having an easy Saturday morning after a busy week of uni work. Here is some more sketching of my Schizophrenia monster that will be done by the end of the weekend.
Sketches for a schizophrenia monster.
How does a new monster design every weekend sound? I think I can stick to that.
Suggestions for disorders/mental illnesses to base the designs on would be great!
One more monster, as a thank you for all the love for the previous two designs!
Cheers, people of Tumblr!
