Sea Orm Colour

Using just the colours from the colour pallet I made earlier.

I cut out parts of an old map and used them as an overlay onto the creature

A Look at Colours

These are the colours that I have chosen from using the images below that I photographed from the Rochester Museum. I will play around with them and see what they look like when applied to the Sea Orm.

Sea Orm Progress: Colour

Blue version on black and white background

Red version on black and white background

Brown version on black and white background

I quite like the blue one and the red one, the blue one more so as its colour is more in line with large sea animals such as sharks, whales and the iridescent sailfish and ore fish.

Final Sea Orm Silhouette

By mixing parts of the other silhouettes I am happy with this one. I will then build it up with various animal parts to form a more realistic creature.

Sea Orm Head Refinements

Sea Orm with open mouth position, jaws extend out from the head. 

Jaws are in a relaxed state and retracted into the head and concealed by the surrounding flesh.  

Sea Orm Head Variations

I think between 2, 4 and 6 have interesting features. I quite like the worm like gills on 4 and 6
