critical studies task6

This is my creation, I call him Titan, the image style was heavily influenced by japanese anime and manga but I've tried to break away from that to produce something less stylized... you can still see elements of anime influence though such as the thick outlines and thinner inlines.

The actual subject of the image was made for a story I'm working on, its supposed to be a demon thats as big as an office block. I got a lot of the ideas from some old school surrealist art and traditional chinese and japanese illustrations of demons and monsters.

I tried to make the creature look grotesque not gory and imposing like traditional concepts of the devil and demons in thye bible. For the face i decided against eyes becouse they can be a window into a subjects line of sight, thought ect, theres a lot that eyes can imply about a subject or image but i just wanted this to look kind of cold and thoughtless, the multiple mouths and countless teeth are to reprisent aggresion like when a dog bares its teeth only scarier. I tried to keep the shape of the body close to human so people can still relate to the character but i also tried to make that human shape slightly warped and unnatural looking. The horns are a reprisentation of traditional ideas about demons and devils.
