Alternative Design Ideas

Design idea 1 (tailed Ant)

For my first design I added a small number of components to my secondary evidence drawing of an Ant. I added the wings of a Bee and a tail from a Dragonfly. I am not pleased with this as I feel I would have done a much better design, which is more unique and resembles an already existing insect much less.  I would certainly improve the overall number of components, which I add to the insect to make it a much more interesting design.

Design idea 2 (spotted Ant)

For my second alternate idea I decided to use the original drawing of the Ant and modify it by adding different components from other insects. I added a dotted pattern, which a Ladybug has. I also wanted it to be a flying creature, as it would give me a slightly larger number of options to work with.  I added more eyes and some butterfly wings.  I am not completely pleased with the result of this as I feel there aren’t enough components to the creature to make it a completely original and unique design.  If I were to do this again I would certainly change the body of the creature, as it is clear to see that I’ve simply modified an excising creature.

Design idea 3 (butterfly body)

My third design is one of the ones I’m most pleased with as it is a completely unique and original design compared to my first two. I feel that by combining different components to make a new insect all together was a much more successful method of making a creature as It is much more unique and original which is what I intended to make.

Design idea 4 (Ladybird body)

For my forth and final design idea I wanted to make something slightly larger than the previous design so I came up with the idea of using much bulkier components. I used the body of a Ladybird and the wings of a Butterfly, which made the structure of the insect already much larger than the previous idea. I am very pleased with the way that it came out as it is larger and has much more in the way of components just like the previous design. My two strongest ideas are ideas three and four. They’re the two strongest as they are both completely unique and original unlike the first two. I will definitely choose one of these last two to use for my final piece.
