🕑 Added 2021-01-21 10:05:26 +0000 UTCwhat should my next HOW TO MONSTER tutorial be about? you can vote for up to 3 options!
• expressions & body language: conveying a monster's mood, feelings, demeanour, and personality. adapting human expressions to non-human faces + adapting non-human expressions to human-like faces + drawing inspiration from different animals + posture & stance.
• special effects & décor: adding cool or unnatural "special effects" and decorative elements to convey a monster's theme or aesthetic. a collection of ideas + a discussion of how to choose which special effect to use for the design you're working on.
• drawing & painting fur: rendering different types of fur in different ways + choosing what the fur of your character should look like (and why).
• textures, materials, & shapes: their role in character design. rendering different textures and materials + utilising different brushes + choosing textures and materials for a specific design, character, or aesthetic + using shapes that convey the monster's vibe or personality.
• monster ears: ideas for designing monster ears + making them express the character's theme, mood, and identity.
all $10+ patrons can suggest topics for future HTM polls! what aspects of concepting, designing, and drawing monsters would you like me to make an HTM guide about? you can comment on this older post, but i'm also going to make a new suggestion post soon.
this poll will end on february 11th, and HTM13 will be posted in late february or early march!
