Visual Design: Speedy Concepts

In class this week, we had to create a character using Fish as inspiration. The time limit was 1 hour per design. This wasn't going to be Nemo!

I instantly searched for images of deep sea fish as they tend to be the most alien. But I couldn't escape the imagery of a hammer head shark - Those things are built for carnage. We had recently had Mike McCarthy in for a lecture on concept art and he showed some inspiring images of characters that inhabited ports and pirate ships. With that in mind, this guy quickly showed up.

I call him Bruce. He is an ex-captain looking for a new crew to ride the seven seas with. The big smile and bizarre arm really aren't helping with the recruitment process.
