Early Concept Development
One of my first real projects as part of Outlook Enterprises, I was tasked with the concept development, modeling, texturing, and feather groom for the 'Preybirds'; massive Roc-esque vultures that appear during the middle stretch of the film.
The design called for an intimidating, near-horror oriented creature, chained and malnourished by its captors. Despite its size and the call for a more scary design it was important to keep an air of intelligence about the creature, a caged animal watching for its best chance of escape. The idea of vocal mimicry was considered to add to the identity of cold intellect, hoarsely mirroring the orders of its captors, though this was ultimately scrapped in favor of them remaining more animalistic.
