Creature Box Research

Creature Box

Hello guys,

Today I am going to talk to you about 2 creature artists under the pen name of creature box.  I found their artwork through a social media platform called Instagram and I was really fascinated in their work since they had extremely unique creatures.  After seeing them on Instagram, I searched them online and found out that they have a website where they showcase their work and the book that I am inspired by since it has countless designs of creatures because they have been making it for 5 years and they are still going.

I really like how the cover page of the book looks like because it looks simple yet appealing since as a reader myself I would love to see what is inside of it.  In my opinion, if I see this book in front of me, I would automatically open it.  


They inspire and make me motivated because of their book since it has been 5 years and they are still making this amazing book!

 
To start with, this is one of the pages of the book and it consists of different creature concepts with different colours and shapes.  What I like about their work is that every creature looks completely different than the other which shows creativity and uniqueness.  
My favourite creature is the orange one on the top right since I like his design.  What I like about his design is that his skin looks like its a hoodie because its covering his head like a hat.  Moreover, orange is my favourite colour because I like how it looks on characters and creatures.


These are more designs in the same book.  These creatures here look quite the same but has their own differences such as: the green creature has huge ears while the blue creature next to him has horns that look like a moustache and the third blue character has horns and 3 mouths.  These 3 are my favourite concepts and I can definitely get inspiration from them.

Slugterra 

Slugterra is a sci-fi  animation show aimed for kids.  It aired on Disney XD weekdays.  I find the creatures in this show really unique because of the colour usage and how they are painted.

I like how these creatures have a mini version of themselves and then they evolve from cute small creatures to huge intimidating creatures. My favourite out of the 2 is the second creature because of its colour usage.  I like how the purple colour blended with the neon green colour which makes the creature look better.  



Here I would like to talk about expressions.  I can get inspiration from Creature Box because they draw their creatures with expressions and other things: such as adding spikes..etc which shows the character of the creature and if it is wild or evil or harmless.


Here is a very useful creature concept by Creature Box.  It is useful for me since I can get inspiration from it because I am aiming to make a plant based creature and this creature has inspiration from flowers and plants.  What I like about this creature is how they replaced the head of the creature with a flower that has eyes.
