Plasnail


Oy, I'm back with a new artwork. I had a nice Sunday, which charged me up creatively for this week. I chose to do a plasma creature next. Oh, I guess you don't know all the types we have: bubblegum, radioactive, plasma, crystal, and void. I did all but void since I started this challenge. Can you guess what I'll do tomorrow? 

Anyway, here's Plasnail: 

I am happy with how he turned out. I think it communicates a personality. For some reason, I made it French--it just felt right. I kind of had that shrimp from Finding Nemo on my mind. My goal was to make it look bored and slow, while also doing something crazy. Turns out, it's being struck by lightning while crawling along. If it drew back into it's shell, I imagine the eye would be looking through the window in the side. I realized, I like figuring it out along the way instead of planning ahead. However, I should probably do both. Like ten really rough sketches of different designs and poses, pick my favorite and riff on it while creating the art. This took me about 2 hours, and I don't think 10 sketches would take a lot of extra time.

Still, in the end, it's only important I make something every day. So, see you tomorrow with a new one.
