Sea Creature Mood board

for this weeks assignment we are tasked to create a aquatic creature i decided to create a more threatening merman/mermaid idea almost straight away and my mood board reflects my initial ideas through lots of images of different fantasy mermaids.

Box Modelling

Character box modelling is probably one of my last favourite activities especially if we are not doing our own design but rather trying to replicate someone else's work my attempts at the Minotaur monsters are below although i may need to improve upon them further in future.

not too happy with the topology in either model i feel i will need to try and improve my box modelling considerably

wip with improved topology 

Ninja

just a bit of work off of my own back the reason he looks a little 'feminine' is because he was female right until the end of the design where i changed the hairstyle and thought a male character looked better for the role of a blind warrior or zatoichi.
