Concept Art - Thor Reference

This is "Thor" one of my Original characters from Conquering Tide.
Finished his digital art reference, as I only have 10 days left to complete my Final project (yep, alarm bells are ringing in my head!)
Anyway, his conformation is based on that of a Friesian. He is a "silver champagne grulla sabino" in colouring... obviously genetically impossible in a pure Friesian... but then again he's a fantasy cartoon horse. Besides, real horses don't have eyebrows either ;)

Foundation Final, In the works!

My final is based on my Characters and the story of Conquering Tide. Here's some of the work Leading up to the newer pieces...

The Piece: I plan to make my 6 main characters out of glue, and create scene/dioramas that reflect their personality and ability/energy. Some will be on platforms, others in boxes, mounted on a giant board
WORK IN PROCESS
 Cardboard mock-up of the board. Decided to go for rectangular shape rather than oval, but it'll have basically the same layout. Approx 3.5meters long, 1.3meters tall. 
So, yup. It's a bloomin' big piece.

 ^Gaia in process.

 ^Further progress

Gaia finished, in Thor's mock-up box

Place Project: Made little card dioramas based on characters and scenes in my series. Approx 2.5 inches tall.










Ephemeral: Worked with old Keyboards to create a stopmotion. Video COMING SOON!


Light Project: The first and original glue horses! I wanted to see if you could build the muscle structure out of glue, and if shining a light on/through the glue would show this.
