Bachelor of Design with Honours

The Lost World project is an exploration of creature design techniques produced through the framework of a hypothetical live action film adaption of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1912 novel The Lost World. Through this project I intended to refine my creative methods in order to produce creature designs which simultaneously communicate accurate information about extinct animals and engage with speculations upon their biology while functioning well within a narrative context.
