Cryptid Research ( Chupa-Cabras)

 Cryptid Research ( Chupa-Cabras)



The first cryptid I researched was the Chupa-Cabras. It is Spanish for “goat-sucker” as the cryptid itself originated from South Americas, specifically Puerto Rico. As for cryptids go, this one is fairly recent, being reported only in 1995 when a farmer noticed his goats have been found dried as if their suck has been sucked out of them. This cryptid has been later reported by other livestock farmers with the same complaints and adding to it with some of the creature’s description. Said to have the size of a small bear, with spike like shapes. Of course, there was never a photo as this “creature” was very elusive. I personally disliked most of the renditions people made of the cryptid and decided to make my own. I will enlist below some of other artists renditions.

Wix Feedback Form

 Wix Feedback Form of UI & UX    In class I did the form of UI & UX testing to get reviews and feedback on my website. To create that form I used good forms. I added about 8 questions regarding the home page design, gallery page design, about me page, contact page, navigation, overall design of the website, device of the testing and a place to give feedback. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvZfjwMMcncYggXov3GJVtZz0TmQSOp-FXtFB7o06LyysrNQ/viewform I got 5 reviews and the feedback was overall very positive. The contact page has then been tweaked, I tried correcting some issues regarding the disfiguration of the website when accessed through phone, however I still have more changes to make. And the gallery will be something I will update next. This feedback was very useful as it pointed out certain things that I wouldn’t have realised otherwise.

First Cryptid Redesign - Chupa Cabras

Image
  Cryptid Concepts Artists rendition  https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chupacabra_(artist%27s_rendition).jpg The cryptid that first came to head was the Chupacabra’s. The idea of it always interested to me, however the designs I saw were not that appealing. I love the occult, the idea that a cryptid is just a living weird creature does not appeal as much as the idea of it being a more mysterious force and that being the reason why it is so occult and with no seen records of it. The Chupacabra is a cryptid that has been only imagined because of the tracks it left, usually the dried dead goats.  So i redesigned it with my own ideas, where this misterious force of nature was not only a reaper but a life giver, it balances life between species. I was also inspired by the carnival in portugal and some of the masks.  First drafts Sketch First Lineart Final Lineart Final piece
