This was my first complete Inktober. All the designs started with a sketch. Having limited time these designs and initial thoughts were created using an array of tools and media.
This year I have been working on creature and character design which obviously impacted the given keywords and my final designs. This was more than anything based on different areas of exploration, such as getting to know different media, prop and vehicle design, conceptual literal and blurred ideas and themes and then attempting to create what I imagined in my head. Quite a lot of these designs are hybrid combinations of sketch to digital - Adobe Suite and ZBrush and vice versa. I did not want uniformity, I wanted what was in my brain to come to life and stylized no matter the thought. Any future project can have consistency and sameness, I tried not to have limitations other than censoring for a broad audience. I found several interesting things about my process along the way and have really streamlined idea to output. I have learned from and enjoyed this process.
