Refining My Fantasy Whale Guardian from Multiple Angles to Solidify His Form
Rewritten from transcript by Claude AI
In this quick 10-minute drawing session on February 26th, 2024, I, fantasy artist MJ Muñoz, revisit and refine concept art envisioning the Water Grand Beast. This elemental guardian gains solidity as key details come into sharper perspective from front and side views. Beyond reworking the leviathan’s proportions for amplified power and length, thinner strokes now better define his shape. I polish the precise curvature of both pectoral fins and seahorse-esque spiraled tail, featuring seven small bumps evoking mythic reverence. His dorsal ridge neatly aligns to suggest oceanic hydrodynamics despite imaginary constitution. As one piece of a primordial quartet symbolizing water itself in tales to come, polish comes gradually through attentive iteration. While covered in scales may not suit aquatic mammals, embellishing this mythical beast until his form clicks fabricates wider world authenticity. As fantastical forces made flesh, their designs demand devotion. With his t-shaped silhouette speaking volumes untold, flows and textures suggestively render territory storytelling can eventually tread. Building modern mythology via pencil sketches proceeds effectively when finding the essence initially lost beneath surface flaws. Each draft brings higher understanding- gradually grasping what wants to emerge.
