Tentacle Sketch

These are a few of my sketches from my sketchbook on a couple ideas I had for the tentacle project.



(Apologises for the incorrect rotation it won't turn around)

This was my first page of sketches, my initial idea is that I didn't want it to look creepy. So I started with the top right image, but it just looked a little bit silly and without any kind of personality.

I then went on the top left, this just didn't look right at all, the eyes ended up looking very silly.

Next i worked on the middle image, I really like how this one came out, he looks like he is the mini king of the sea - I also like that his tentacle is holding a stick.

The final image on this page, I thought I would try drawing a squid, really don't like how it came out, so I will probably stick with the cuttle looking fish.

This is the next page of sketches. I thought I would try another squid, but still looks just as bad as the first attempt.

Next is the little shell - I don't really like this because it just restricts what you can do with the tentacles.

The next is the fluffy middle image - I really like this one, I like how his tentacles look like a beard.

This little image didn't end up going very well. He looks a bit special.

Going back to the king looking fish I thought I would change his eyes a little bit, he looks more alien like this, but i do prefer the tentacles in this one. So i may incorporate them two together.

I don't go into much detail in my sketches as it bugs me if they don't look correct and I don't want to spend the whole time on doing sketches.

My favourite two are the king and fluffy one. These ones I will pay a little more attention to in Photoshop and start looking at different colours to use.
