Outcome

The final outcome is close to what I expect, although I was not able to figure out the way to add the multiple angle beams hitting towards the creature, which is the major drawback of the project. The creature looks aggressive and stingy. It does simple behavior such as growing and rotating according to my initial idea.

Attempts

Trying to make the simple behavior of the creature:

Increase

Rotate

Absorb

Colour change

Inspirations

I decide to go for my second concept because it is more based on my existing work. I like the idea of a creature that grows while eating. I got lots of inspiration from the theory of black hole. A black hole is originally very tiny or even nothing. It grows and increases its size and mass by absorbing everthing that hits into its gravity field. The sphere shape of a black hole also makes it more suitable for construct. What's more, the idea of beams hitting the center point from different angles reminds me the creature of hedgehog, though it is the other way around. When it goes protect itself, the stings of its body extend and cover the whole body, which makes a very nice shape.

Concept

The creature is a chocolate brick. It is made of brown rectangle blocks, which represents a sense of chocolate. It will be running and jumping in a milk river inside a maze. What's more, when it moves, chocolate pieces will drop from it and melt into the milk river. As a reult, the colour of the milk river will be more and more dark and thick.




Taking the idea of the muti-angle beams from my first assignment, I am going to create a creature attract those concrete beams. It is a bit like a magnet ball or a black hole. Also, as it "eats" more beams, its body size will increase gradually and eventually it will become a planet-like creature. What's more, it will vibrate and rotate.





It is a flying creature that looks like a rocket or spacecraft. It will fly around the earth following certain or random orbit track. As it orbiting around, it will leave different colour smoke tracks or flying lines behind. Meanwhile, the earth will rotate as well.
