Character Design - Aquaviamphibious Cuttlewhale

Final illustration. Acrylic on Wood Panel, 11" x 14"
Inspired by "Scroobious Pip" written by Edward Lear, and using James Gurney's maquette-based illustration process, I created an all-powerful animal that can fly, swim and walk.
Sketch that I decided to go with.
Turnarounds for maquette.
Painted and glazed maquette.
Using the maquette as a reference, I created a more realized drawing of my "Pip."
I transferred my drawing onto the wood panel and fleshed out the environment.
The acrylic grisaille (pure value painting using black and white).
