Mantis Lizard

Some info about the project


A final for Organic modeling in which we learned to box model with an emphasis on providing edge flow to accentuate underlying musculature.

This creature is the combination of a praying mantis and a horned lizard. Preparatory work included providing ample reason for such a creature to exist, along with a short bio on how it lives. Orthographics were created by manipulating and blending photographs of the two animals.
