I did a demo over at the Laguna college of art and design yesterday, representing the Concept Design Academy. I redesigned the spider from The Mist. The Mist was an amazing story from Stephen King's anthology Skeleton Crew.
I began with showing how I create a composition within the design. This is stuff I normally do subconsciously but I made it more apparent for the purposes of the demonstration. I paid attention to the relationships of proportion, creating a hierarchy of triangles so the elements either framed each other or emphasized where I wanted the viewer to look, rather than fighting each other for attention. the low slung composition gives the impression that it is capable of quick scuttling movement and the giant fang/claws frame the mandibles. I made the mandibles smaller and overlapping to give it a creepier look having the smaller mouth parts slide over each other while eating and to have more mass variance in the face.
I would like to thank the Laguna college of art and design staff, students, and visitors for welcoming me and showing me a good time.

Great design, thanks for breaking it down!
It amazes me how quick and loose your lines and brushstrokes seem to be, yet your images still feel finished.
brilliant break down man. I dig the thinking you are emphasizing. I think I oughtta take your class! Are there still openings?
I was wondering how the event went, that turned out great!
it was great to see you again old friend!
You were a pleasure to listen to and speak with, sir! Thank you for giving us a chance to pick at your brain.
(And I still say your D&D work rocks. So there.)
Man do you need a wheelbarrow for all that bullshit?
JOKE!
Yeah it's great to see you write out your thought process. So much of that is just subconscious! Nice work I love the sense of weight it has.
