I intend to create and design a 3D model for my creature. Seeing as my creature originates from Chinese folklore, I find it appropriate to base the model around Oriental design.
I say Oriental rather than just Chinese because I find Japanese design to be more intriguing. Chinese design is quite structured in comparison, so I believe Japanese design has more potential. I won't stop me the incorporate both however.
My creature is a dog, so I found appropriate reference. The top image is of two ornamental Chinese dogs. They're typical in Chinese design, especially within the face. The two other images are based around Japanese culture. The character on the left is called
Aku and comes from the animated hit TV series,
Samurai Jack. He acquires some Chinese features facially, like the dogs above. The image on the right depicts a shot from the video game,
Okami. It's a new design, but the designers have made it look like a typical Japanese tapestry with the type towards the right side. All the images acquire similarities in colour scheme and movement.
