The breakdown

January: Create a basic sketch of the creature.
February: Finish the drawing and get it into digital form.
March: Refine the drawing and start to add more detail and colors.
April: Finish the picture, touch up on some of the areas and refine it to its best possible state.

My Proposal

I am going to do a hand digital illustration of my shadow creature. I think the beast way to do this is to draw it by had and then color/add greater detail to it on the computer. The style of this shadowy fiend is going to be very dark with colors that are in the very soft and subtle, but for specific places I will use very light colors that will draw your eyes to them.

Zof Shade by Jason Engle (Art Analysis)

The Artist for this pictures name is Jason Engle, and he did this for the a Magic the Gathering Card. He dose a lot of there cards.
The artwork looks to be a dark shadowy beast in a dark swamp next to what seems to be some kind of ruin.For the creature he made its body look not very solid, the colors of the shade are very dark but to distinguish the different parts of the monster he made the outer areas a little lighter making it look as it had a 3D shape. The artist used very subtle colors around the creature, but he made the eyes bright so that your eyes would be drawn to them. I don't think this picture has a meaning, it is just a cool monster.The mood is dark because of the setting and this gives you a sense of danger. I think that the work is dark and shadowy like how I want to make my project. I want to make a dark monster like this.

Inspiration

Unfortunately I don't know who made theses, I got them from google.
I want to make my thing look kinda like these

Rough ideas

Im thinking about making a 3D model.
If that doesn't workout I'll just make another 2D thing.
The model/picture is going to be a shadowy creature that is not made of a solid material, I was also thinking of making it have on some armor to add a little more creativity to the project. I think I will have a better chance making a Picture though.
