Creature Mark,
the playful little rat.
Sketches
Before choosing a pose, focus was put on drawing rats, with and without reference to understand the form of the creature. With focus on specific parts of the animal that differentiates it from a mouse. The goal was to create a form that was playful, sneaky and inquisitive, while putting emphasis on the tail and hands.
Digital Iterations
For this round of iterations a pose was chosen that successfully showed a rat and allowed for experiemntation. The first ideation was a mix of circles and harsh lines, this ideation was a good portrayal of the head of the creature, but the rest of the body needed to be more cohesive. This led to experimenting with only lines, which created an interesting translation but didn't clearly communicate what the creature was. For the final ideation a form language was used of only circles.
