COMMON ART: Assignment 2 - Silhouettes

 For this week, we were taught about silhouettes and the importance of creating quickly recognizable shapes. To practice this, we used a model of a space ship to manipulate as our base. I began by switching to the top view on my orthographic camera, hiding the lights in the scene, and then pushing vertices, moving pieces, etc. until I got something interesting.

After getting a nice shape, I brought it into Photoshop to add finishing touches. I experimented with bizarre organic shapes and drew inspiration from old school sci-fi anime that I loved growing up. This was fun!
