I spent this week designing the Tartakovsky-inspired character for this assignment. I started with two rough designs.

The siren was made to be triangular, sharp, quick and dangerous, while the minotaur was square to reflect its’ strength. I felt the siren fit the artsyle better, but the minotaur fit the vibes of Hotel Transylvania, with its’ penchant for taking known scary monsters and making them look middle-aged and in need of a holiday.

I decided to stick with the minotaur design, but work on pushing the limits and exaggerate the shapes and size. I came up with two designsand asked for feedback on Discord.

I then combined the two designs together, taking the parts I liked most and resizing/reshaping to fit my needs as I went along.

This is the design I came up with, which was met with enthusiasm on the server. I decided to stick with this design.

I sketched out a side profile and lined both sketches, adding colour as a finishing touch.
