Production Concept: Skype Call with Dom

A couple of days ago we had a skype call with Dom one of our collaborators from the cg arts and animation course at UCA. Dom will be doing the design and some 3D models of our monster Cthulhu and some of the Shogoths. In this call Dom showed us some of his ideas of what Cthulhu could look like and we expressed what we definitely wanted from the monster. Both us and Dom were certain that we wanted Cthulhu to look unique and not too similar to some of the illustrations already done. We did share some indifferences however, there were some elements Dom wanted that we thought were a bit impractical for the movie. So what I suggested was that Dom draws two different Cthulhus, one with twists that he thought would look cool and another one with some of the elements and parts which we suggested in the call. In our next call we will then be able to compare illustrations and say what parts of the two Cthulhus we like and don't like, and take all the good points from each drawing and put them into one last one which should be what our final monster should look like!

Below are some of Dom's drawings that he did before and during our skype call.
