    Unit 1: Anatomy: Interim Online Review

    The student began their anatomy project by studying their own human anatomy in various poses and angles. They then researched emu anatomy and found inspiration from dinosaur bones, video game art, and similar birds. The student created thumbnails sketching a transition from human to emu features, such as extending legs, adding a narrow waist, and transforming an arm into a wing-like shape covered in feathers. One thumbnail design was too simplistic as half-human and half-bird. The student will avoid this basic design concept and progress with more developed ideas.

    Interim Online Review

    Unit 1: Anatomy
    The animal that I have been spliced with is an emu. I began this project by beginning with studies of my own self, varying in positions, angles and poses. I thought this would be a good place to start since I'm used to drawing the human anatomy and then I could build on that.

    Fig 2. Face/head studies

    I then began looking for inspiration and influence from other images or art, to try and get some ideas and designs generated. Finding resources specifically for an emu is quite limited. So I expanded my research beyond, looking into some dinosaur bone structures, looking towards video game art, and birds sharing a similar bone structure.

    I then began with small manipulation of selected parts of the body. Changing the eyes to alter the character, transforming a human body into part emu by adding fur and putting the silhouettes into poses to better define a human personality. I then moved on to the head, trying two options of the same method, manipulating my hand and feet studies into a birds. I then tried to picture how a transition would take place between me and an emu. Emus have long legs and I depicted the transition as an extension to my body changing to quite a constrict waist moving further up. I also imagined my arm manipulated into a wing, by a half spin at the shoulder joint and a sharp, strong, 90 degree angled forearm. I then gave it the shape as if it had been encased in feathers.

    Fig 5. Thumbnails (2)

    In the second photoshop session I produced, a rather simple and easy design that I want to avoid. It's simple in concept, half-human and half-bird, and, while easily identified, too basic. I take bits and pieces away from this, but as a whole it isn't something that I can progress with.
