Assignment 2: Tremor Guard











Assignment numero 2, take a monster from universal studios and re-imagine it.  While the teacher was meaning for us to do Dracula or Frankenstein or the Wolfman, I wiki'd Univeral Studio monsters and saw that they did indeed due the film Tremors in 1990.   The teacher begrudgingly ok'd it and I decided to go full out and get a better grade on this one.  The backstory is that in a valley down in South America a tremor monster has been trapped, along with a small tribal village.  The village has been worshiping the "Graboid" as a god and making human sacrifices to it.  So many sacrifices later it has had mutated Guardian Tremor offspring to help do away with outsiders and continue the feedings.  The Tremor monster has gotten huge from the constant feedings as shown in the final illustration.  The assignment required a five point turnaround, much more difficult than a three point as it involves a 3/4 front and 3/4 back view, an action sheet, an expression sheet, and a style sheet for the character and an object.  The illustration I did as extra credit (It paid off, I got an A).  I really enjoyed this project even though it stole my soul for an entire weekend.  As it turned out every other project did the same thing.
