This was done as a entry for the 2020 Clip Studio Paint international competition. The theme this year was animals, which was good timing as I was working on a creature design for my quadruped projects I did earlier. I wanted to also create a world with them but also have something for the creatures to interact with, adding the baby creature as well was a good way to see how the creature grew up to be eventually from an infant.
Initial Concepts and Colours
Here are the initial drawings and line art for the piece. I tried something different this time around after watching some YouTube videos, I started with base flat colours for all parts of the drawings, and then eventually build shading for it on separate layers, and adding things on top.
The designs for the spaceships were actually objects I found lying around in the house, very good references, so go out there and look for things in your house!
