Vormator Challenge
Each of us got the exact same set of shapes. With these shapes, we are
challenged to create our own unique design creatures. After that, we have
to put them into a Pokemon Card.

| Shapes Provided |
Process
First Trial
- For the first trial It was just me getting to know how to use Adobe
Illustrator. Here I mainly mess around with the shapes and try to form a
simple creature out of them.

|
| First Trial Creature |
- I didn't like how it turned out after a while and wanted to change and
improve it while still keeping some elements the same. In general, this first
trail looks goofy and I want to aim for a more creepy creature.
Second Trial
- For the second trial I kept the concept of the head from the first trial and
redid the body. Here I tried the colour gradient for the first time to give it
some dimension.

Background
- For the background, I took inspiration from Abnormalities Containment Cells
from a game I like, Lobotomy Corporation.

Creature's Detail
Name: Lasting Hunger (P0-03-90)
Moves:
Instant Devour -When enemy have Hp lower than 20% they will be
instantly devoured by P0-03-90.
Starvation -Upon reaching 30% Hp, P0-03-90 enters into a rampage, Atk
will increase by 50%.
Story:
P0-03-90 is a manifestation of starvation by unknown. P0-03-90 is unable to be
full no matter how much it ate. The task of eating is difficult for P0-03-90.
It was like it was created to suffer from never ending hunger.

- The name and writing style is also inspired by Lobotomy Corporation. There
are more I want to write on the card but there wasn't enough space left,
therefore I shall info dump it here. *Thumbs up*
Extra information (for fun)
- Lasting Hunger represents the cycle of eating to fill out the stomach. When
you eat you become full, but after a while, you will get hungry again and you
have to eat again. I thought to myself,
"What if no matter how much you eat you still feel hungry?". This was
also inspired by another character from another game where no matter how much
they eat they will get hungry within minutes due to a disease.
- The way Lasting Hunger moves is by its arms. It was supposed to be present
as
someone who's so hungry that they can no longer walk and have to drag their
body with their arms to move. But then I remember Lasting Hunger doesn't have a lower body (?).

REFLECTION
For this task, it felt like it was to teach us the basics of how
Adobe Illustration works and also teach us that even just some simple
shapes can be made into something interesting. It relies on one's creativity
and knowledge of design.
Overall I enjoyed this Task a lot and learned a lot as well. There are
still some improvements but I am satisfied with the final design I
made.
