As Bison are endangered due to habitat loss caused by encroaching cities, I decided they should be modified so that they could reclaim some of their lost land... The updated bison achieves this by scooping up earth using a fork/ scoop on the top of their head, they then tip the earth into a sort of bunker on their back. The Bison carry this dirt until they reach concrete and lay the earth over the top, taking back part of their habitat.
This is only a comical idea, and would in no way be beneficial to humans and would never work, however I did enjoy creating the imagery to represent this upgraded animal.
Although I really like the aesthetic of these illustrations I think they are lacking some kind of explanatory text.. I wish we'd had a mixed group of Illustrators and Graphic Designers, I feel like we missed out on the use of a different skill set.
I felt similarly about the drawings I made for the Weedy Sea Dragon so I tried a more graphic-style illustration with some text and information about how the illustration is relevant to the projects.
It's the first time, or the first time in a long time that I've made anything like this but I really enjoyed the process. I cut the Sea Dragon shape out using black tape to get texture and tried to hold onto my own aesthetic a bit with the patterns and colours. I think this image ended up looking a little bit like an advert.
