Inspiration / Initial Concept:
From my research, I’m quite impressed by the artworks of Medusa and Cerberus which are created by Michelangelo and Todd respectively. Medusa image was created by a combination of the artist’s face and the hair of snakes. Regarding Cerberus, the artist skillfully embedded the frightened skull faces of people into the whole body of Cerberus. It is similar to photo mosaic artworks, many small pieces construct a completely target image. As a result, these are such the good examples of how the combination of many elements will result in an exciting artwork which depends on the genre that you want to express.
Furthermore, I’m also inspired from the Greek mythology of Medusa. She was an extremely beautiful girl before turned into the ugly monster. This was a consequence of her arrogance.
These above ideas make I have a concept that my creature should be an unfinished transformation from the human to the demon. It will be a ‘half Human half Monster’.
According to the concept, an ultimately priority thing that I need to find is the image of the girl’s face. In an aspect of beauty, it should be keenly beautiful. Besides, it may also describe a personality of arrogance of the character though the face expression. Therefore, I choose the below image (Girl’s face). Then, I also choose some images which are able to be combined with the face to construct the demon’s face.
