Tasman Shen ARCH1390: Week 2 Studio + Week 3 Independent Study

3 Spore Creatures:

Draft Spore Creature 1: This odd creature was created with the notion of infusing a bird with it's nest. I even considered the skin colour and textures. The joints of the bird on the outside are reflective of an outer structure and the body of the bird is like the interior/central structure. The use of feathers are ornamentation and add some character to the creature.

Draft Spore Creature 2: This creature was created with the notion of "soccer pitch" creature. I have used the the legs as structural elements as well as trying to reflect the look of a soccer pitch.I kept the central body flat and rectangular to reflect that of the soccer pitch and I rounded the tail to mimic the shape of a soccer ball and also coloured it to make it look like one. The vertical elements on the side are like a structural elements and can even be thought of like the stands/seats.

Draft Spore Creature 3: This creature was was created with the notion of "levels", hence the horizontal elements branching in different directions. I also kept in mind the vertical and horizontal elements, having one central vertical elements with rounded supports and horizontal elements coming out different sides of the central structure. I tried to make this creature to be very "raw".

2 Developed Spore Creatures + 2 Chosen Paper Models:

Cirodorn: Spore Creature 1: Developed bird like creature, derived from the draft spore creature 1. Idea was based on the "Bird's Nest" and hence creating a bird like creature. Green skin colour was used to camouflage with it's natural habitat. Most of the strength comes from the base of the creature (ie the feet). It also has the ability to fight, but not a very aggressive creature.

Verizon: Spore Creature 2: Developed from draft spore creature 3. Creature is tall, and very noticeable. I have implemented the, tall physique, spiked tail and a yellow skin colour to make him very prominent and noticeable. I used a striped skin colour/texture. The creature is very much focused on horizontal and vertical elements (in it's physique).
