Horror-Cthulu-Lovecraftian style practise sketches and sculpting
Various sketches, and eventually (hopefully) 3D sculpts of various Horror, Lovecraftian and Chtulu tropes.
This has come about because I had to turn down a commission request as I'd not built up enough sculpting/drawing experience with this genre and I didn't want to do poor or sub-standard work.
So I thought I'd better get some practise in, so as to build up some portfolio content and to understand better what I need to do.
My approach here was to start of with a horse form and then mutate it with classic Lovecraftian tropes. I also seemed to go a bit Nurgle on the backend with the flesh dropping from the bone and adding pustules around the neck.
This is a kind of parasite creature that inhabits a host body, extruding mouths from different orifaces to consume itself in order for it to regrow and adapt to changes in the environment.
It can also grow in size by consuming other things.
Beak concept with skin around it pulled back, ripped and loose.
I wanted to have a fungal infected nail look to the beak, with bits flaking and breaking off.
