I have been struggling a bit with my boat explorations, I want it to be simple, yet very personalized. A vessel that portrays the expertize and rough experiences of its owner. More sketches will come.
Here are some brief explorations I did on the pendant of the father, which is a key motif within the project. I am still unsure of the pattern it may or may not have since it has to serve both functions: Being a memento of a lost relative and the grim remainder of his executioner.
Here are some explorations I did on developing the monster for my current project. I went through several references of fish, reptiles, fossils and varied sea creatures in order to produce them. None of these is the final take yet. I feel that further connection needs to be made to the monster and the tooth-pendant that the father of the central figure carries.
