Tentacles

This weeks task was to create a monster that had three tentacles or more. Below is a mood board containing research of existing characters with tentacles. 

I roughly sketched out two monsters and coloured them in to experiment with different approaches to the task.

I then took to Photoshop to create my final design. I tool aspects from my initial designs such as the tentacles coming from the face and three eyes.  

Overall I was pretty pleased with my outcome. I used a technique that involved layering a bubbly texture over my digital painting. This created a raised feeling to the tentacle monster. I do think it's quite a flat painting so by adding the texture I felt like it made the monster more shaped.
