3rd year part 14: Initial snake aesthetic research

Secondary aesthetic research, Initial snake aesthetic research.

After looking at the animals at the zoo decided to look more on aesthetic research at snakes. Thought to make the masked man a more approachable character, him having a pet snake could do just that. Therefore, looking at snakes is relevant to the project.

Snakes are seen as deadly creatures, however decided to look at what makes a snake adorable, so it’s less threatening then compared to a giant poisonous snake.

In conclusion, the: light coloured snakes, pastel colours, orange and white, pink eyes, the lack of the crease eye line, its small size makes snakes appear more adorable and approachable.

Decided to look at open snake mouths to see how I would need to model It. In conclusion, snake mouths have: a tube type wall of flesh in the middle of the mouth, not all snakes have fangs, the lack of fangs, the more adorable it looks. Connective pink tissue from the top to bottom mouths, the bigger the eyes the more adorable the snake making it more approachable.

In conclusion: after putting all those notes into consideration need to: think if the tongue is going to be separate or how to rig, How to connect the tongue to the snake since the tubing in its mouth is so small, look more at small snake breeds, footage on snake behaviour and movements.
