ENVIRONMENT

DARK ABYSS - OZUMAT ENVIRONMENT SKETCH

On the deepest depths of the earth is an unknown world yet to be explored. This environment sketch inspired my creature Ozumat being a mysterious creature of the depths. My initial idea for the structure where Ozumat lives was a cave inside a mountain, from this idea i created a structure resembling a cave by it is actually a structure consisting of pillers and large curving walls.


This design was inspired by Frank Gehry's Experience Music Project. His design gives the impression of multiple buildings joined together to make one structure. I designed it to be a open space for Ozumat to climb and manoeuvre around in.  I had my tutor and a peer from my class talk about my design and they commented that it looked to busy and overall messy.


DEVELOPED SPORE CREATURES & EXPRESSIVE WORDS

Whelp - Unique species relating to dragons the whelp is a neutral creature that rarely seen because of the harsh environments it resides in.

The whelp only is able to live in the tallest of mountains which rare and exotic fruits grow Able to fly high long distances with its powerful wings, the whelp has no trouble travelling from mountain to mountain in search of food and shelter. What makes the whelp unique is similar to the chameleon it is able to change the colour tone of its body depending on the mood it is in for example it will turn bright red if threaten.

The whelp dislikes confined spaces and enjoys wide and open spaces to able to see its surroundings if it is in danger or not.
