Cryptid Research ( Gambuzino)

  Cryptid Research ( Gambuzino)



The Gambuzino was the hardest to find information about, as one of the features of this cryptid is its nonexistence. Gambuzino is a Portuguese cryptid used mostly as a joke in situations where people spend a lot of time staring at nothing or doing nothing, we in Portugal say they are staring at a gambuzino or “à caça do gambuzino” which stands for hunting this cryptid. I thought this would be an interesting cryptid to make due to the lack of knowledge about him, there are no sightings, there are no specific depictions. I imagine it to be small and agile, with the ability to camouflage and blend in with the environment.

When doing my research on it I realised it is a trendy cryptid amongst modern organic Portuguese coffee shops and restaurants. I will add below the images I could find on it.

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

  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
