Developing the concept art.

The environment I chose was the coral reef. I started gathering some general information about the environment, the flora, and the fauna that I thought could be in tune with the character I wanted to model ans some inspirations.

I started to find the general silhouette. The brief states that the creature we create must have a purpose, so my idea is to blend the character with the environment and to take some functional inspiration from animals for the design.

initial exploration :

Silohouette :

I wanted the creature to resemble a moray eel, it is a fish that dwells in the coral reef and can swiftly glide and hide in coral formations they have a flat – compressed shape that helps them gliding. I was also thinking about embedding the creature in the environment and having corals sprout from it as a form of camouflage.

For the face , i wanted it to resemble some of the fish in the coral reef . I want to convey a certain degree of unease there i am going to try and give it a more triangolar face shape.
