DETAIL and INTEREST

When you want to make something more interesting, it’s all about the detail. A single line can make all the difference. It can also be about just how much imagination you have – for example when you want to create hybrids or monsters. If it makes someone go “what the hell is that!” or “that’s really weird…” it means you succeeded. Keep in mind also with monsters and hybrids that real life positioning does not apply as it usually does, because this is something that doesn’t exist. What you should bear in mind is weight distribution and gravity, if you make something with a humongous head that juts out in front of it you need to think about how it is that the creature isn’t falling over onto it’s head all the time, can you balance it out with a massive tail? Is there a piece of cartilage running from its tail bone up to the back of its head? Is there a magic fairy holding its head up?
