Character or Creature Bust
Assignment 1
For this project we will be creating a bust for a Creature or Character of your choice. Characters can be either male or female. For creatures, the sculpt must have an insect theme to it.
As you create your work, consider your subject’s story. Emulate a moment captured from your subject life. We will build our subject in a T-Pose, minus the legs, and will be posed for your final submission. You are welcome to use the AI images provided to you or work freely with your own design.
