      After I did the Left arm Space deformers, the Space deformers stopped working and I couldn't get them to work again, so I moved on to the rigging

 

 

The Premise project has been my favourite project I've done to date, despite the fact that the lack of structure which we've had in other projects was quite stressful for me. I started out knowing that I wanted to do a Character design / creature design project, and although it took me a little longer than I'd have liked to choose a project idea to focus on, I feel like the idea I chose was the best for me as it allowed me to develop the skills I will need to go into the area of creature design in my future career.  I am pleased with the amount of work I was able to do for the project, but I feel I could have been better with time management to fully explore my premise project. I think I focused too much time into the Dragon like species (Plumaturas) and the sentient species (Bractetan Lizards) and not enough into the environment, and as a result the environment side of the project isn't as strong as the other elements of the project. I also would have liked to develop ...

 

 Here is some world building, specifically looking at the Bractetan Lizards and their relationship with the Plumaturas. Diet Omnivorous – Primarily fish, but will also eat fruits, veg, and insects. Fruit and veg eaten are mostly what grows around the water, but also fruits from trees Where do they live? Why do they live there? They live in basins, valleys, and canyons in a vast, mountainous jungle, with a similar climate to the Mediterranean and Croatia. The Bractetan Lizards and the Plumaturas were driven into the basins by larger predatory fauna. These predators couldn’t navigate the harsh cliffs as well as the arboreal reptiles, so the Bractetan Lizards and the Plumaturas were able to thrive there. They grew to rely on fish from the rivers and lakes, as well as veg and fruit that would grow in the valleys. The Ascended In the Bractetan Lizards, there is a genetic mutation which they call ‘the ascended gene’ that causes individuals that have it to appear without colo...

 Here is some more exploration of the environment of my project. I wanted to do some key areas for my environment, which would be the docks, a important building/religious building, and a market area with a big warehouse in the background.
