Orthographic Images

Once I chose the design it was time to work on orthographic images. I scanned the drawing and using Photoshop I started to work. The first thing to change was the pose of the character. On the drawing it's sitting, but in order to model and rig it it has to be standing up. Once I was changing the pose I also changed some of the design element, such as wings. They were too short in proportion to the whole creature and would be impossible to fly. Once I had the side view finished, I carefully made the front view. I had to use a lot of guides to keep it the same. Then I copied the front view and erased the inner lines, so all I had left was the outline. Then I could easily add the inner lines to have a back view.
