Hughes and Human Face First Concepts

There's currently two versions of Hughes "Huge Arms" Armstrong, cute one and triangley one. Which direction do you think we should push further?

(Note: if we end up using Hughes in the final script we'll probably need to use fur simulation. So let's see how that goes.)

Some stuff for Human Face Slash Brontosaurus Tiger (click for bigger pic?). Two versions here too, male and female; I'm leaning towards female since she's creepier.

Crow Man Design

Materials

Just some inspirational stuff

Black goo

Horns

Crow feathers

Obsidian

idk what that is but it creeps me out

Cutesy Monster Ideas

Very rough ideas for creature designs. I'm not sure if the right direction is here but well, it's the brainstorming phase.

I'll be drawing loads and loads of these in the future; do tell if any of them look like they could become something with further development, or if you feel like a particular type of creature would be right for what we want to do.
I myself think the optimal style would be slightly more cartoonish or "heightened" than purely realistic, stretched as far as possible while still fitting the live action plate; shapes concealed in the shadows, odd limbs sticking from behind the benches, beings that would look silly in daylight but seem moody at night.

Notes for future designs (just to write them down somewhere):
- someone with a glowy thing in the chest (but tries to hide it)
- fog monster creeping on the floor
- a flock of little ghost fellas that float straight through the bus
- a creepier take on the masked one

First Concept Art

Rough concept, with colour variations for different atmospheres.

A concept for a creature that nobody wants to sit next to. (Didn't mean to do such a cartoony sketch but my realist painting skills are on holiday.)

Tagging System

So the idea is that everyone can post all the helpful material they come across and by tagging it we can find it all without any fuss even when it starts to accumulate next year. Nuthin' big, just whatever we think we might need in order to find the correct references when working.

The general tags will probably be:

notice for info dumps
meeting for meeting notes
inspiration for all the stuff not created by us but that communicates the idea
concept for concept art
reference for technical drawings, real-world accuracy refs
writing for ideas and story stuff in written form

http://creaturecam.blogspot.com/search/label/NameOfTheTag is how the tags can be found, but I'm gonna try and put up some links on the page.

Camera Ref Vids

A video pointing to the direction the cameras and cuts would work; as well as a indication of the non-linear narrative and silently humorous atmosphere.



CCTV footage that has nothing to do with this project whatsoever except the setting reference but there's a guy lighting a bus on fire, who would not want to watch that
