Design Lab Episode 12 - Alien Avifauna [youtube activity]

[Sinix]

Hello again everyone. This is going to be the submission thread for another design activity.

To keep it simplified, the topic is basically just birds, and you're free to take that wherever you want.

Here is the primer video: http://youtu.be/EEkTuP8SEXo

You're free to use any media or methods, the key is only that you're submitting unique design ideas at a basic thumbnail level of polish.

Deadline is Feb. 19.

i made this like a year ago or something so i figured it would be apropriate to post it here.

[chris sabre]

here you go, I did a little sketchy one, I hope it's okay

[chris sabre]

Same one without colors

[HeadCrabeD]

First sheet, not too happy with it, probably more to come.

[AxisARC]

[SharkArt]

Just a few designs
Would like someone to please tell me why when i uploaded image on imageshack and put the photo in here it didnt work and i couldnt get the filesize very big if directly linked from computer.
Right now i have it linked from the computer but i had to lower the quality and everything.

[AxisARC]

Perhaps they do not allow linking from other sites. I also had to lower image quality to meet the file size parameters. I didn't find the change in quality noticeable.

[Jake Hatt]

these are quite crappy and quick but i think they get the point across

[Sticky-Dice]

Glides and eats things. It likes to show off to the laydehs...

[chris sabre]

[ironaphar1515]

[Abdola]

So I've never done anything in the way of design before but this place seems like a good way to start so here I am.

Hi everybody, very cool stuff happening in Design Lab...here is my entry, hope you like it!

[DEDEYE]

First ever Design Lab post >_<
Hope you guys like it!
more to come.



number 1
Grumpy female nest bird. After laying her eggs the female nest bird coats herself in mud and allows the male nest bird to build a nest on her back. This allows her to keep her chicks with her at all times and means its up to the male to provide food for the family.

number 2
Same idea as number one but I thought it would be funny if the male built the nest in an awkward position.

number 3
Ghost face bird. This bird is timid in nature but when attacked puffs up its feathers and opens its wings to look intimidating. Its breast feather colouring usually has some sort of skull pattern or motif to intimidate predators. (inspired by the anime character no face)

[Williham22]

My first entry Love the videos Sinix!

It's a kind of Jurrasic bird inspired alien creature, and it uses it's tentacles to catch large fish for it to eat.

[Aimeesaur]

Well first time doing design lab (and making a conceptart account) ... figured that it would be fun doing something as such.
Here's my thumbnail-ish sketch laid with optional base colors.
Color palette can be completely changable to what ever floats your boat and I wasn't sure if I was to do a background.
Hopefully this sketch can also inspire others (XD) and if not, good luck to everyone else in design lab! (^_^)

[JessBeckly]

I over-designed :C

First design lab woo!

(Acrylic+Pencil+Photoshop CS5)
