Hard and Organic Surface Design

In this projects we were given tittle-stripes with random topics that would get our minds working, in order to model 2 objects.

One of the objects being organic and the other, hard surface.

I experimented a lot with of different ideas, from trophies to candles and even abstract representations or the tittle i received.

My tittle was: "Ghost army circus beneath the shadows of a Gothic/ Romanesque floating citadel of their tyrants".

As Illustrated bellow, I interpreted this tittle with a crowned skull hit by an arrow from side to side.

Before putting ideas down on paper I visited the British History Museum, so that I could start researching different assets. There, I photographed human skulls as well as the ones of prehistorical animals to possibly introduce some of their features to my skull design, perhaps exaggerate the teeth shapes or give them horns to make them more demonic like or even make them more "crow" to extenuate the Gothic/ ghostly vibe.

These are the reference photographs i took at the museum for this project.
