Wheel Of Time Trolloc Creature Designs

Happy Holidays........sharing today some Wheel of Time Trolloc Creature designs done for Uta Briesewitz.....allot of these very rough sketch exploration was done for myself before i did anything in 3d to capture what Uta needed for her presentation...i was exploring various designs from more humanoid to animalistic silhouettes.....the main thing was to push the silhouette with the horns since u will see them mainly at night....u can see what i ended up with in the 3d turntable......i have allot of sketches im just showing half of what i explored,i tried hybrids of mixing animals,i also tried some eyes less similar to Fade ect.......U can also see how i break down the actor in the practical suit and my notes to myself to keep in mind as i progress forward .Once Uta was awarded the show i was put in contact to work with Nick Dudman who does brilliant practical make fx work and he brought on some very talented artists like Howard Swindell to do Trolloc designs as well.....Putting all this together also shows my process from start to finish...meaning...i started with sketches in my 5x8 sketch book...to then painting in photoshop...to then finishing a chosen design in 3d for presentation and to pass onto a vendor.....allot more to come from wheel of time design work........best wishes to all .
