The task this week was to come up with an imagined creature with tentacles, a staple of sci-fi and fantasy artwork. To help with the design process I created a mood board containing reference images containing tentacles from creatures ranging from star-nosed moles to Eldritch Abominations with other potentially helpful images thrown in for good measure. The mood board itself:
 |
| A beautiful mosaic of many seemingly random images shotgunned onto a Photoshop page. |
 |
| Green tentacled warrior lady (note the king of the star-nosed moles in the bottom right-hand corner, arguably the best thing I've ever come up with). |
 |
Bizarre octo-man monster with floppy tentacle hands and feet and corals growing out of his shoulders.
|
The two pictures above are a couple of the ideas that I came up with for my monster. My idea is that it would be marine life based because, y'know, octopuses (octopi? octopods?). I briefly had the idea to go with a star-nosed mole derived monster as it would be quite original and its nose-feelers are technically tentacles, but I had no idea where to go with it so I kept on track with my marine monstrosity theme.
