Our homework assigment for Visual design was to create a monster with minimum of 4 tentacles.
We had to use either a realistic or stylised approach. I decided to go for realistic and I tried making it terrifying. Since I never really drew scary monsters before I tought this would be a geat challenge.
I started off with making a Mood board, which is basicaly a file with photo refferences.An Octpopus was my main reference. I also researched other animals with tentacles like snails, squids and jellyfishes. After collecting reference pictures of tentacles I also tried to find other concept art from various artists to use it as my inspiration.
Next stage was sketching. I didnt really know what I was going for so... This is my first result.
I gotta admit this sketch is really bad. My sketches are rushed and mostly make no sense since I prefer working with colour.
Sketch nr. 2
I worked on my monster's sillhouette and got the basic shape to work from. Everything I did next was done digitally.
The sketch was done in photoshop and I tought it was good enough to try and paint it out.
After hours of painting I finished my tentacle monster.
Final design:
