Hello once again!

It's that time of the month where I try to catch up with all I've done for my previous brief, this is pretty straight forward since I focused mainly on sculpting so there won't be a lot to talk about, but hopefully the pictures say a thousand words.

This time I tried to be slightly more ambicious and implement everything I've learned so far and go all out on my itch to make a huge monstrosity. I began but roughing out a sketch that would have all the main ideas that I could start sculpting from.

I have been binge listening and reading to stories from the Lovecraft mythos and got really inspired by it, my mind was hitched by the unimaginable horrors that surround arkham and its people, but one enthety had been stuck in my mind the most, the enthety known by The Dark Goat of the Woods, Mother of a Thousand Youngs, Shub-Niggurath.

Shub-Niggurath is known for birthing dark spawns through her many mouths and either eating them or using them to fulfil her errands, I decided to make a 3D interpretation of what could come out of one of her mouths.

Sadly, the first deadline has ended and I haven't even got close to finishing the sculpt, there are some things I wish I knew how to do better before I started and would have helped to speed up the process a lot, but I learned as I go, and sometimes that is also an important part of being an artist, you learn from your mistakes, never be afraid to experiment new things. This was by far the most ambicious project I had in uni so far, but overall I am happy with the result I reached, and it will only get better from here (at least on can only hope).

Some of the biggest issues I had with it were related to the head details and the cloth (which I never fully sculpted before), they are the main part of the sculpt I'll be tackling again and basically re-sculpting from scratch, but, if you can remember from the last post, overall it is already a huge upgrade in design and look from it's original "sister", sadly redoing the head the first time took some extra hours from my planning and didn't allow me to finish the arm armor and remodel the leg pieces. 

As I start the new brief I have to leave this one on stand by for a while, although I am very eager to get back to it in a very near future and see what I can come up with. Plus, when I return to this project, I will have learned even more and be able to improve it by the tenfold. But until then this will be the last time we'll see Yugen.

See you, Space Geisha.
