I have begun to draw a few designs for this project. I did a few drawings based on plants from my garden, some based on everyday objects and some based on parts of machines. I did not initially intend to base all my designs on humans, but when I started drawing some of the designs I decided to make them bipedal/humanoid creatures. I think this will help me with designing characters because it will act as a template to work from and I can adapt different objects or arrange them to form a human shape. It will also be useful moving forward in the project because I can adapt the designs to suit a costume or mask as well as models for photography or animation, so it will make a wider range of outcomes possible. The different starting points lend themselves to different types of characters. The designs based on plants are more suited to natural, woodland creatures, and the mechanical parts are more suited to robots. It would be an interesting challenge to try to design a robot based on plants, or an animal based on parts of a machine, and I would like to try this, to see if I could design more interesting creatures.
