Ghost Fish Final Concept

Ghost Fish Model Sheet

If it helps to understand what the thicker lines in the skeleton are, this is the reference I used.

Because modeling without one is a terrible idea.
Went with the body type in the maquette – just gotta check he'll fit between the benches.

More Ghost Fish

Some Ghost Fish development. I wanted to do more variations before posting but haven't had the time. Comments? The biggest choice is probably that between the delicate fish (like the bottom one) and a proper big fish (second-to-last). I personally feel the delicate one is much prettier and more easily skeletal – but the ghost fish we have will be probably two feet long, so is that's just gonna look silly...?

How about that?

Masked One new concept sketches

Stuff to consider:

- Thick or thin tentacles
- Body shape; keeping in mind how the mask moves. Should only the mask slide around his anatomy or should the bump-neck-thing slide around with it? Like there's something underneath his skin that's making the bump and moving
- I prefer him with legs, makes him look less like a stranded squid. Other views?
- Wooden mask - painted or not? How decorated?
