Evaluation

Considering that I didn’t really know a whole lot about what I wanted to achieve at the start of this project, I’m really happy with what I have done. By beginning in museums such as The Natural History Museum (London and Paris ones), Grant’s Museum of zoology, and the Hunterian Museum, I was able to build up lots of anatomy drawings to work from. I also used many science books with illustrations and a story called The Island of Dr Moreau by H.G. Wells as inspiration. The creature concept course helped me to put my ideas together to create a realistic monster to be used in on film or page.

These drawings and hybrid creature designs evolved to have scientist-like annotations. This gave me the motivation to start a fictional ‘mad scientist’s diary’ that could be from another era, like mysterious evidence found in a haunted house. I began using old surgical books to feed the content of the diary, then slowly evolving to research on deformations, and turning this into lizard hybrid designs, inspired from the Hunterian. Since starting the book, a student from Digital Media has approached me to use my book as a prop in a horror film, which was the context it was intended for.

For the grad show in London, I have made some lizard dissection models and found some creepy artefacts such as horns, paws, and really old pages from medical text books to display as a ‘cabinet of curiosities’ concept, with the mad scientist’s diary. I also think I have successfully presented my blog in this ‘cabinet of curiosities’ format as well.

Lizard dissection (Barbie was a practice for this one).

I use a toy lizard, clay and scrap material.
