Horror Challenge - The Fisherman

Hello there!
My name is Andrey, I do various 2d and 3d stuff. 3d is pretty new to me, but I like it a lot, especially stylized. I try to practice in handpainted styles and this challenge is a good opportunity to motivate myself to practice more. I took a couple of my own artworks as art references, but I’d like to make the character for this Halloween challenge an ultimate combination of my skills.

I picked two topics from the list: Frankenstein’s monster and lovecraftian motives. I came up with an idea of mixing these topics in some kind of Hellboy’s vibe, where a Frankenstein’s creature, being a monster himself, fights even more grim and horrible something.

I imagined Frank wears some kind of fisherman’s outfit and the whole model shows a fight between him and the monster. My first idea was a fight versus the octo-monster, but now I decided to make a swarm of horrible fish-people instead.

I made a couple of sketches:


I’m planing to finish the final 2d concept until the end of october.

Good luck for everyone!

The main character is almost done. I like how the concept evolved into some kind of steampunky style.
I also came up with a new look of the fish folk so it will take some additional time for concepting, but I believe I still have enough time.
