I'm still trying to get the hang of illustrator. I pretty much just used the pen tool and the clipping mask tool for the whole thing, with a little bit of the pen tool. I used five textures, all of which were my own from last week.
I really like the definition of this monster. Even though he looks simple, the textures you chose, along with the colors really give it a cut paper feel. It looks like he's made out of construction paper and scanned in, it's really great.
Kinda reminds me of those classic sci-fi alien designs. I like the texture choices throughout and I would love to see a couple color variations of this.
Your monster is super cute, I think overall it looks very smooth and clean. It would have been cool to see more use of the textures we made in class maybe on top of the green part of it? I like the texture on it now but I think it can be hard to see on such a dark green.
This reminds me of what a children's show character would look like, if it were like a stop-motion show or something. It's just the construction paper cut out look that makes me think that. I like that the creature doesn't have a visibly mouth. It makes it appear more ominous. I can't tell if this is some sort of sea creature or an alien, but I like it.
i think you did a great job choosing which textures would go on each part of the squid. each texture is exacty what i imagine this thing would looklike in real life (if it existed). the only thing i would like to have seen was some sort of atmosphere or background for your monster to exist in.
The way that you used the textures reminds me of a felt padge. But, I can not really understand the pattern on the body of the monster, I feel that it's to small. I feel that the outline of the figure seems to floats in the air maybe it would have been better if you used a bigger outline.
This monster is really cool! Although you say your still getting the hang of illustrator I think that you were able to efficiently add all the textures to your monster really well!. I really enjoy how you were able to implement 5 different textures into this illustration it all looks very cohesive even though they were all different textures!
I love the texture that you put inside the main body of the monster - its' really nice and organic. I think that the fact that it's tonal really makes it natural, too - I think you could play around with some of the sizes for the spots in the tentacles, maybe - maybe smaller would let you see more of them? Same thing with the horns if you wanted them to feel like they have a rigid, stepped look? But I think that way you're using tone on tone textures is great and I would continue to do that! It really looks like cut paper!
I'm totally digging the cute-Cthulhu vibe you have going on. The textures you chose are pretty solid as well - I would actually replace the dots on the tentacles with an even dot texture so they aren't as scattered. A subtle flat color background could add a lot more to the piece, too!
