This is how she seemed to appear at the beginning of the book.<br />

Hence I decided to post this on here as I think that the sets and after effects made in this film were UNREAL! It gave me ideas for my photoshop paintings even though Im not on the course anymore D:!<br />
Even though the characters weren't made that well, if anyone likes good after effects and awesome imagery then its a must see, especially for the unit 2 (:. The movie actually uses normal animation, painted backgrounds, along with CGI moving backgrounds and also aspects of ordinary film that been edited into the animation. Its really a must see (:<br />
Here's some tasters!<br />

However the main story is much different. Detective come into metropolis with his nephew to investigate a case, ended up getting involved with something much more, when the leader of metropolis tried to create a super- robot/ human machine to rule the world.

I tried to create something more original and different from my last design. As you can see I've kept the idea of a very enlarged neck and slim, eel shaped body. I also kept the idea of the half human/ half eel face. However I tried making it to look more like a half human, because it would be quite a comical picture to see a fish with legs... Considering a gulper eel is a deep sea creature I would imagine this sort of hybrid to have a creepy look, and if somehow the splice DID happen, and I'd end up with no legs but just a pair of arms, I'd end up having a very strong upper body if I had to drag and balance my whole body weight on my arms. <br />

Here is some more initial sketches. I especially like the top one, where it looks as the eel is crawling out from behind a rock. I need to look in more in how the upper body works and the muscles that attach the arms to your back. I noticed the way my hybrid moves resembles the ghosts from 'The Grudge'. which makes me think my hybrid would end up having quite a creepy look.<br />

But eel's head with more Alicia features. I especially like the top image as the posture flows together nicely. However, I noticed it looks a lot like something taken out of avatar... the bottom picture however looks too human...<br />
As you can see I have also considered giving myself fish- like skin to add to the hybrid effect.Wot Wothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11996489455937505124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059353164669406608.post-54648344709305662692011-10-11T09:37:00.000-07:002011-10-11T09:44:00.860-07:00Self Portraits (Face Study)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99rv4AgSzOqKG72ub3DYaWfHw4DGpy3CAQ_H6UpDHA785pPMyTb-LPfhVpD82Z15iS6FJf0GL6s5bBH8EOfqRnnWO8KUJGJHhImExMpptx-QKvwpXHwYSoGR-NGOxUrTssqCWjmgJb2dL/s1600/Self+portrait+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99rv4AgSzOqKG72ub3DYaWfHw4DGpy3CAQ_H6UpDHA785pPMyTb-LPfhVpD82Z15iS6FJf0GL6s5bBH8EOfqRnnWO8KUJGJHhImExMpptx-QKvwpXHwYSoGR-NGOxUrTssqCWjmgJb2dL/s320/Self+portrait+2.jpg" width="233" /></a></div><br />

These are the original photographs that I made he drawings from:<br />

Was very happy with some of the shading in this picture, however as you can see there's still alot left to do here. I'm thinking to do bit more head designs (explore how my creature would look like with an open jaw, etc...), and try to add some more features resembling me in particular in them, considerinf the animal has been spliced with me it might of kept some of my characteristics or habits. I was thinking, when it comes to colouring my character in, to give it red hair to make it look more like me, as that's the colour I kept throughout the summer. I will either leave the eyes completely white, or use as I did in some of my previous drawings, give the character some glasses, just like they do in a lot of anime shows when the producers create a blind character, give it glasses to resemble it more.Wot Wothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11996489455937505124noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059353164669406608.post-7813522310854109282011-10-06T02:58:00.000-07:002011-10-06T03:00:50.776-07:00More doodles (:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg06XGq5FUn-kQQ1hyphenhyphenntW5Hd6QsbhgPXsdoqx_z1F6kQQIOHeeQZ7soUSIYO76KV2D8mcE2mbUy7FVt96Z8aCXue9wnPYTOqFtQRvMenmuMZm2GpdM4NRFOTL2Iu-48B7oI-zebyiNQHeLM/s1600/Head+Drawing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg06XGq5FUn-kQQ1hyphenhyphenntW5Hd6QsbhgPXsdoqx_z1F6kQQIOHeeQZ7soUSIYO76KV2D8mcE2mbUy7FVt96Z8aCXue9wnPYTOqFtQRvMenmuMZm2GpdM4NRFOTL2Iu-48B7oI-zebyiNQHeLM/s400/Head+Drawing.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a drawing I created by using a layout pad, as you seen on the previous post, I've made a sketch of the spine and skull of my creature, looking from a side view. I traced the bone structure and then created the initial idea for the head and neck of my hybrid. The hair is supposed to have a sea weed- like texture, as this is a sea creature, it will be much easier to show what I want to represent using photoshop, so next up, photoshop paintings!</span><br />

To make the work easier, first I drew a skull starting from simple circle (the first drawing), do understand more how a human skull is built on the inside. From that I copied it into a less detailed drawing, which then I transformed into a hybrid skull. After doing that I repeated exactly the same technique to create the actual view of my creature.</span><br />

My hybrid as you can see, looks more like a more creepy version of a mermaid. After my splice I've managed to keep the eel's tail, and just like a mermaid a human upper body. However, as you can see I decided to use the head I created after my previous drawings. The spots represent the glowy organs on my animal's body.</span><br />

I like how the skirt gives the character a flawy kind of look, however I don't think I will expand on that idea very much, as I can't really see how I could attach the tail to this figure (which I think is one of the key features of my animal), I do like this figure more than the previous one though, its less dark and more feminine. I realised that the animal head reminds me of the Egyptian gods (very likely like anubis). I think it will be worth maybe expanding on that idea more. </span>Wot Wothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11996489455937505124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059353164669406608.post-35985906907455913652011-10-05T06:03:00.000-07:002011-10-05T06:03:10.138-07:00anatomy sketches<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGaO0WAX5qTF6QgwiiPYsrj33xSpAlWyJyaiVxos7usp51uIsOyuImpv0euT8NYz4tqK4IUBaEqtltnFwuOixPhNK0sTZJO2tMc-Gs1ApGbfqKlg0PQmhEgxsKsq7Pew7BYJTDUYyivVS/s1600/Hand+Anatomy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGaO0WAX5qTF6QgwiiPYsrj33xSpAlWyJyaiVxos7usp51uIsOyuImpv0euT8NYz4tqK4IUBaEqtltnFwuOixPhNK0sTZJO2tMc-Gs1ApGbfqKlg0PQmhEgxsKsq7Pew7BYJTDUYyivVS/s320/Hand+Anatomy.jpg" width="236" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Because I've been having some issues with drawing hands, I decided to research some hand anatomy. I've had a look how the bones are structured which helped me with creating my own interpretation with how its built on the inside (on the top left drawing on the Figure above). This lets me create a stick drawing of the proportions, then afterwards I can draw the outline and worry about shading.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because I'm getting spliced with a fish, I thought that it could be a good idea to give my character webbed hands (Figure below)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQnKhgprkTl8hQCCRg7x4R6aEyCMrOe07ZEgxaKdBqk0DgZ3N8YP5Q8gMfUtR3nNHK_CxyZ99yq2877-OHRXyy2Mq1Y2BVsRhD6RsGdIkRQgUoViwLiW-S_MDY9Xe7iVAEmF4IExn0SEI/s1600/webbed+hand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQnKhgprkTl8hQCCRg7x4R6aEyCMrOe07ZEgxaKdBqk0DgZ3N8YP5Q8gMfUtR3nNHK_CxyZ99yq2877-OHRXyy2Mq1Y2BVsRhD6RsGdIkRQgUoViwLiW-S_MDY9Xe7iVAEmF4IExn0SEI/s320/webbed+hand.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Gulper eel's special feature is the large 'pelican- like' jaw, what I did is drew and example of how eel's and human's skulls are built then tried to combine both of them to have a better picture of how my spliced outcome is going to look like.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBTSIIGe8vo0usmGgxVLFLLxVnrMF1pNAemb9yrwODwIN1awZ96Q-9Y5pkR9v0LoIB_gxwUUFR9YVHl3AUx-0mepS5djXf2Jc5aaALxdrPFjr6V_s9c6Xg-BblbCpC0eUsvMC_N3wZV4pf/s1600/Head+Anatomy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBTSIIGe8vo0usmGgxVLFLLxVnrMF1pNAemb9yrwODwIN1awZ96Q-9Y5pkR9v0LoIB_gxwUUFR9YVHl3AUx-0mepS5djXf2Jc5aaALxdrPFjr6V_s9c6Xg-BblbCpC0eUsvMC_N3wZV4pf/s320/Head+Anatomy.jpg" width="270" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sketch 1 is the skull of a different kind of eel (which also has the ability to stretch its jaw), because the gulper eel is a deep sea creature, and there still haven't been a lot of research about it, I've had to depend on the structure of animals from the same family. Thats why sketch 2 shows my guess estimate of how the skull of a pelican eel COULD look like. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sketch 3, however shows a quick sketch of a human skull, and finally the last drawing is the skull of my spliced animal.</div><br />

As you can see I used the skull from my previous drawing and splices human and eel spine. The bone structure when it comes to the spine is quite similar, because the eel has a similar structure to a snake (very long body, the stomach can stretch to consume larger prey), thats why I thought that I was ever spliced with any snake- like creature my neck would stretch out quite far. After creating this sketch I realised that the structure of it resembles some drawings of harpies.<br />

Cast: Anthony Hopkins (Dr. Frederrick Treves), John Hurt (John Merrick), Anne Bancroft ( Mrs. Madge Kendal), John Gielgud (Carr Gomm), Hannah Gorgdon ( Mrs. Treves)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Elephant man is a touching story based on true facts about a disfigured Londoner, John Merrick. Throughout his whole life being treated like an animal, being part of a freak show, John gets rescued by Dr. Frederrick Trevers, who shows him the beauty of a normal life, friendship and freedom. </span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a very touching film that reveals the intelligence and sensitivity behind the very physically disfigured John Merrick. John gets discovered by Dr. Treves at a local freak- show, where he's been treated worse than an animal, being beaten and kept in the basement. .</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The scene that really got me in the film was when Dr. Treves goes down to the basement and is the only person to view John. Just after Gomm's introduction to the freak show after seeing Elephant man's face, you can see the tears slowely appearing on doctor's face, from that point we know that he feels sorrow for the disfigured human, and straight away we know he's a good character, even though still having small doubts after he examins him and presents him in front of his medical class. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://content9.flixster.com/photo/62/65/08/6265083_gal.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="http://content9.flixster.com/photo/62/65/08/6265083_gal.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tears going down Dr. Treves cheek after seeing John Merrick for the first time.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just like in the fly, we dont get to see John's face till later on in the film, he just gets presented to the audience with a bag on his head, while heading up to the hospital. Gives us an impression that it's better to raise people's curiocity rather than show his actual face, which could cause panic or disgust. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">'He's a clumsy soul, never looks where he's going. Good he's got me to look after him' </span></i><span style="font-size: x-small;">said Carr Gomm to the Doctor to explain John's injuries right after beating him badly because he followed Treves to the hospital to be examined. Yet again this is a good example of how inhumanly people treat other humans, in this case because of disfiguration... </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">All the way throughout the film we see the ammount of misery John has to go through, from being treated like a thing to being laughed at, and scared of. We can see clearly though that he's just as scared as the people running away from him screaming.<i>'Its like talking to a brick wall. Obviously sir, what can you do for him?'</i> People not only feel awkward by his appearance but also treat him like he can't understand what they're saying or feel the same emotions as they do, see him in a form of <i>' easy money'</i> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We find out that John is able to speak, he's just frightened of people's reactions and noone in his life never asked him for his opinion on anything. All the decisions always have been made for him <i>'I want my man back' </i>reffering to a human being like some sort of property or an investment. This is a film about someone that never in his life been treated like a human, someone that recognizes beauty, has feeling, person of a high intelligence that just had to bottle it down all his life.<i> 'You just wanted a freak, so I gave you a freak. Now I want him back!'.</i> Gomm is jugding people by his own level of his own selfishness....</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As the audience we can sense the awkwardness created while the nurses enter John's room. They're afraid to talk or look at him, we can also see that all John wants is what any person desires which is acceptance and human contact.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.glogster.com/media/2/10/27/18/10271885.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.glogster.com/media/2/10/27/18/10271885.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">'His appearance is so terrible that women and nervous persons run off in terror...' </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Its not until Mrs. Treves, John never been able to speak to a woman. This was another scene that really caught my attention, as an audience we were prepared to see mrs Treves to react exactly the same as the other women that been in the film (scream and run). On the other hand though, she walks up to him, shakes his hand and welcomes John to their home. We can see in her eyes that she was shocked by the disfigurement but she managed to get over those emotions and accept him as a human being. Just like the audience, John is shocked and nearly breaks into tears <i>'I'm not used to be treated so well by such a beatifull woman' </i>. We learn that John is a gentleman, which all he wants is acceptance. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At this point of the film we learn John's love for beauty, nature and the poetry. At first I realized this at the beggining of the movie when we find him in doctor's office looking at the birds. Now we learn about his love to poetry and art. John likes showing people photographs of his mother, who also is a beatifull woman, he reffers to her that '<i>she has face of an angel'.</i></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzzAvDFvfQ0bomBXUyvHEVRj1X4OxLFDz9YYFUxkthnG7ZgzuMZrdGIjdEnm_z6slJRMRMn7Dl1otozDxKL9okTWHxAiYusFkN9_AVXxjVGsMXmBnBwoHdSfh_p8w6-uj8rdXG8qvRZyId/s1600/The.Elephant.Man.1080p.HDDVD.x264-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzzAvDFvfQ0bomBXUyvHEVRj1X4OxLFDz9YYFUxkthnG7ZgzuMZrdGIjdEnm_z6slJRMRMn7Dl1otozDxKL9okTWHxAiYusFkN9_AVXxjVGsMXmBnBwoHdSfh_p8w6-uj8rdXG8qvRZyId/s400/The.Elephant.Man.1080p.HDDVD.x264-02.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i> </i> </span></span><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">John's only photograph of his mother. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We learn about John's sensitive side. He loves art, human cmpany and acception. Throughout the film I've noticed the big resemblance to the 'La Belle et la Bete'. Both of thse characters may be deformed on the outside, frightening the public, but deep inside all they want is love and acception. In this film we learn the same message, which is that most people are more monstreous than any of these 'freaks' they're just able to disguise it on the inside. Even Mrs. Madge Kendal says to John <i>''You're not an elephant man at all. You're Romeo'</i></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">After the creepy guard appears through the window we enter a similar scene to the one we see at the beginning of the film. </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.avforums.com/movies/images/showimage.php?image=/home/sites/avforums/public_html/movies/images/media/9889/news.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.avforums.com/movies/images/showimage.php?image=/home/sites/avforums/public_html/movies/images/media/9889/news.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Mrs Kendal and John Merrick, right before she kisses him on the cheek after reffering to him as Romeo</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">After the creepy guard appears through the window we enter another surreal scene, similar to the one we see at the beggining of the film. There are elephant noises in the background, laughter and panic. This resembles a lot a scene we see later on where the guard lets people into John's room when they all make fun of him, just like a part of a freak show. After John gets kidnapped by Carr Gomm to go back to his old life, just after he finally finds a new 'home'<span style="font-size: xx-small;">. <span style="font-size: x-small;">As an explanation for the freak show the guard explain himself <i>''People pay money to see your monster, I collect it' </i>doctor Treves reffers to him as the monster. Yet again we notice the theme that was in the Beauty and the Beast where a monster is not what we see, but what person feels on the inside. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">After we see John going back into the freak show, as the audience I noticed that he looses the will to live. People don't find him an exciting attraction anymore as they can see that he's in pain and in a verge of dying. He gets help from the other 'freaks' to get out of that hell. We get into another effective scene where after being chased by people at the tune, John gets cornered shouting <i>'I'n not an animal, I am a human being!!!!'</i></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The film ends in a beatifull scene when John goes into the theatre for the first time. Beatifull editing done by the director, and at the end we see John stand up, and for the first time people are applausing for him, not at him....</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXX2ofSHy6cksJOErCfwqygiGmO3F4gbpIc9MHv8EHpbI20N3UZaaQOFoskekjU-EnDS1_QeXYrHi8h5y1oM-83YkhCGDmUAfW0UJlC877cI17gaDgKJR1FZBD3w4GCCJbex0XcMhafLtZ/s1600/The.Elephant.Man.1080p.HDDVD.x264-31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXX2ofSHy6cksJOErCfwqygiGmO3F4gbpIc9MHv8EHpbI20N3UZaaQOFoskekjU-EnDS1_QeXYrHi8h5y1oM-83YkhCGDmUAfW0UJlC877cI17gaDgKJR1FZBD3w4GCCJbex0XcMhafLtZ/s400/The.Elephant.Man.1080p.HDDVD.x264-31.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> </i> </span></span></span></span></span> </span></span></div><br />

I was thinking to give my character skin that would resemble a fish (just like in Cronenberg's film 'The Fly' during Seth's transformation he starts to gain not only the characteristics of a fly but also starts loosing body parts and his skin texture changes into a one of an insect). For example on the image above you can see the skin has very interesting grooves (<a href="http://cdn1.arkive.org/media/16/16F7D389-2E2A-4176-BF2A-C77FA086255C/Presentation.Large/Electric-eel-close-up-of-skin-showing-lateral-line.jpg">Figure 1</a>).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As you can see the electric eel is not that far off from the gulper eel with which I got spliced with. The only difference in them on the outside is the fact a pelican eel has a very weak yet large jaw that resembles a pelican (<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/57/Anguillarostratakils.jpg">Figure 2</a>)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/57/Anguillarostratakils.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="144" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/57/Anguillarostratakils.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4OhwywiguixlEpq7PWRnT8k-EISGgUafiZuAhDq0h2pzy1aJUHX6fC99_kchW1HnJDV2dgbDBmviqnyRrWh9bKWVnpkNKsqJRN7dnOXkIgIrxMWHp2NUekB3VBO2xV5w4eiqHLVg-FXl/s1600/pharyngeal_jaws_of_moray_eel.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4OhwywiguixlEpq7PWRnT8k-EISGgUafiZuAhDq0h2pzy1aJUHX6fC99_kchW1HnJDV2dgbDBmviqnyRrWh9bKWVnpkNKsqJRN7dnOXkIgIrxMWHp2NUekB3VBO2xV5w4eiqHLVg-FXl/s320/pharyngeal_jaws_of_moray_eel.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The moray eel (<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4OhwywiguixlEpq7PWRnT8k-EISGgUafiZuAhDq0h2pzy1aJUHX6fC99_kchW1HnJDV2dgbDBmviqnyRrWh9bKWVnpkNKsqJRN7dnOXkIgIrxMWHp2NUekB3VBO2xV5w4eiqHLVg-FXl/s1600/pharyngeal_jaws_of_moray_eel.png">Figure 3</a>), was the closest skeleton to a gulper eel that I managed to get. Just like its brother it has a jaw that could open up very widely. By looking at this skeleton I can somehow imagine how would a gulper eel look like on the inside.

I was very happy with the second outcome when we got to draw the nude model, I thought the shading ended up quite well, the feet aren't as good, however but that had a lot of to do with the position I was drawing from as I could't get my hand to the right angle when it came to drawing at the bottom of the page.. The last drawing was more of a quick sketch which I managed to finish quite early, so I decided to kill some time by adding some colour to the drawing and ended up looking not bad! When we first started making these and Simon was modelling for the first pose it got quite tricky because the shoes where much larger propotions than if he was standing bare feet so had to improvise a little bit with this one.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi94MfN8xg6YAfPZg_QFu6pO5O701oQjRjiD9tj3SKLzkKAE-OZUfor53Zv1JI3MZx7CnZA2Wgx1xhd_zVyC3XoOwQBA-hsc14YD2bixQ1aIMm5W7dRCAn5aXi7MFXgroRd_vv2BTfmb69f/s1600/IMG_8180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi94MfN8xg6YAfPZg_QFu6pO5O701oQjRjiD9tj3SKLzkKAE-OZUfor53Zv1JI3MZx7CnZA2Wgx1xhd_zVyC3XoOwQBA-hsc14YD2bixQ1aIMm5W7dRCAn5aXi7MFXgroRd_vv2BTfmb69f/s320/IMG_8180.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This was the first position we had to do during our second lesson. The lecturer told us to think of the body as a volume in space, so I decided to experiment with different shading on the body, which is what maked it stand out more and look more like a 3 Dimensional figure. As you can see from this, and the previous drawings Ive been having some issuea with drawing the hands so I've been practicing with the anatomy of human hands.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="goog_316158063"></span><span id="goog_316158064"></span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfYQfmIbsO4_AMwdWDwUhOFi4Za7P6aiNFtgfc87dWZEilmb3Rq4AVSq_vMHUd_tTFSiCfnSBivYke6VsYrfcOBGEs-vdWNrFC8EAPK_dRI1lTgllKiS4cto7cKvUktfnr7tJpkUCYKK61/s1600/IMG_8170.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfYQfmIbsO4_AMwdWDwUhOFi4Za7P6aiNFtgfc87dWZEilmb3Rq4AVSq_vMHUd_tTFSiCfnSBivYke6VsYrfcOBGEs-vdWNrFC8EAPK_dRI1lTgllKiS4cto7cKvUktfnr7tJpkUCYKK61/s320/IMG_8170.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br />

My drawings are usually quite sketchy as I use alot of lines to make one shape hence the first one looks very dark and sharp. The others dont because I decided to use a harder pencil to make the drawing easier to correct etc.. The middle picture was actually the last pose we did, which was the shortest one, in which I decided to draw it my own way and apply shading etc... sadly didnt get to finish it as it was already the end of class (sorry that the middle picture is the wrong way up, but blogger yet again decided to have the mind of its own and wont allow me to have it my way =/)</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">La Belle et La Bete is a story about a beautiful girl that gets tormented by her very materialistic and selfish sisters. In order to save her fathers life, Beauty decides to live with the beast. With the kindness and purity of her heart she manages to break the beasts curse and melt his heart. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I like how in this film there's a very large contrast between some of the characters. Lets take for example the huge difference in behavior and clothing between Beauty and her sisters. The sisters behave very vein, thinking much more of themselves than they actually are, which highlights the Beauty of Belle, makes it more innocent and pure. Which most likely is the thing that at the end manages to break the Beasts curse.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This leads me to another example of clash between two different characters, which is between the merchant and the Beast, both which are trying to win Beauty's heart. The Beast may be ugly on the outside, but as the film goes on we learn that there's more to him than teeth and fur, and that deep inside the character is trying to desperately hide his animal instincts. Whereas the merchant however, handsome on the outside, plots to kill the Beast and steal his treasure. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This leads on to a question, what separates a man and a beast? Is it the way you look, or is it the way you feel?</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>"Many men are more monstrous, but they disguise it"</i> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Here the Beauty is saying that many people behave like complete animals, but they manage to hide it with the way they speak or dress. Whereas the Beast, even if it looks like a monster, shows much many more human feelings than most men alive. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Throughout the progress of the film we see Beauty less scared of the Beast and she becomes more and more attached to it. The only thing separating the both is the idea of being "human".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We follow the film till the end where finally The Beauty and The Beast unite together when Beasts curse gets broken. This could be reflection of domesticating the beast. We can see, however that the beast wants to be domesticated ( in other words, be "normal") throughout the beginning of the film. We can see that he's in pain, especially after he asks Beauty not to look into his eyes. <i>"Do you mind if I watch you dine? You'll see me every evening at 7 o'clock." </i>Animals never get to eat at the table, hence all the Beast can do is watching the Beauty eat, because this is the closest he can get to being civilized, its like he's following his instincts which don't allow him to eat at the table. Just like there's an example of the Beast trying to go against his instincts to try not to chase the deer. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Beauty and the Beast start spending more and more time together as the film develops. The set takes place at a beautiful Le Chateau du Raray, and the producer uses very mellow lightning during most scenes, and very bright lighting back at Beauty's family home. The use of mellow light seems to give more character to the love story going on and gives it a dream- like mood. </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/photos/ReviewsOct08La-Belle-et-la-bete.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/photos/ReviewsOct08La-Belle-et-la-bete.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">As you can see on the Figure above the house fitted perfectly for the set. As it's surrounded by sculptures of large animals which again add more character to the film.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
