With my new project, the first thing to do is create a character of some sort to draw in the three art styles required. As I usually do to come up with a character idea, I did a few front on silhouettes to experiment with shape and size to create some cool looking characters that I would be happy with.
I decided of the three of them the most interesting was definately this one, I preferred it to the generic human shaped characters.
It didn't really make much sense though so I decided to add legs to it and add a few quick details. I wanted to go with quite a creepy horrific character.
After getting an overall look of the character, I looked for references of poses I could use for a top heavy creature and found this. I dropped the opacity and did a quick sketch over the outline for reference.
I then worked in the details of my character with the reference behind as a guide.
Trying more stances with slight differences to find the best possible stance. It has been quite difficult portraying the neck of the creature when it is not front on.
