This image was a variation sheet done while doing concepts for Netflix Shadow & Bone.

The main creature was called ‘The Volcra’.  Color adds storytelling depth, with bright tones signaling toxicity or danger & earthy hues indicating camouflage or adaptation.

Oviraptor speed paint

I love speed painting in Procreate on the iPad. almost as much as using real paint. 

Speed painting is excellent for creature design because it encourages rapid idea generation and creative exploration without overthinking details.

The Field of View (FOV) in Nomad Sculpt is vital for creature design as it influences perception and accuracy.

Layers are essential for creature designers in Nomad Sculpt as they enable a non-destructive workflow, allowing you to sculpt and refine details like muscles, textures, and imperfections without altering the base mesh.

Subsurface scattering in Nomad sculpt.

Subsurface scattering is important in creature design because it adds realism and believability to the creature’s skin or other translucent materials and fNomad sculpt does it well.

Silhouettes are essential in creature design because they provide a clear & immediate understanding of the creature's shape & identity. A strong silhouette ensures that the design is recognizable & memorable, even from a distance or when viewed in low detail.

Checking values in a creature design is crucial because values (the range of light and dark tones) define the form, depth, and readability of the design. It applies in 2D and 3D artwork as seen here in Nomad sculpt.

Trying the newest #kindlescribe out this week. There was a new updated recently giving pencil and other pen features so it seems to be getting more useful as a sketch device.

Desperately needs layers and opacity
