Creating and Exploring Horror Through Creature Design

This project is a 3D model, based on research collected within the horror genre, as well as common phobias. It is largely inspired by artists from popular media and internet culture creatures, produced by the likes of Trevor Henderson and Junji Ito. My research will involve defining the horror genre, finding out more about fears and phobias, and visual research on some other art and artists that create similar pieces - to break down and help aid with my own original design. I am taking this through the game pipeline from sculpt to retopology and texturing, and I will be presenting it in a real-time render engine.
