Update (Design ideas)

Here are my mind maps showing the design ideas i've come up with for the alien race designs. Now that i've done this i can finally get on with he drawing side of the project. Time has become an issue and i may have to find ways to cut down the output and support my reasoning.

Update

Only a few weeks left now and I've only just finished all my research. Getting kinda worried about the scope of my project, it seemed manageable at first but i didn't realize how deep i planned to go into the research in order to support my design decisions.

I'm currently at the synthesis stage of my project, coming up with some initial ideas for the aliens based on my research. This is being done through mind maps at the moment. I will put the mind maps up when i get home, i don't currently have the software to open the files.

Update

Don't know why i didn't think of doing this earlier really. I figured that me just saying I've been doing research all this time isn't particularly convincing till i's seen so I'm just going to put up some screen shots from my design document.

Update

Damn, keep forgetting to update this, right well so far i'm still slightly behind as the research is much bigger than i thought. At least my designs will be well informed. I'm currently at the sketching stage, I've been doing some observational drawing of various animals and creatures. These are done in my sketchbook opposed to on Photoshop since i find it easier to do since i do not have dual monitors. The problem this poses is that my sketchbook is A3 and my scanner is A4, I will either have to try and scan them in in bits or simply take photos of them, which never really turns out well.

Until i get the scans done i'll post some images of the research i've done.
