Welcome to the Creature Forge, the CGHUB 2D challenge of illustrating creatures of all shapes and sizes!

Creature #55 :: Sky Crawler

Deadline: May 8th 2012 11:59pm [PST]

Challenge Overview:
Task for this challenge is to come up with a creature that suits the name: Sky Crawler. The only restriction with this design is that you MUST AVOID conventional wings we have grown used to seeing on birds.

Final Delivery:
We ask that you submit one image that is your creature fully illustrated with a background, and another simple diagram explaining how the "sky crawler" stays elevated in the air. This diagram does not need to be a complex illustration, just a simple sketch that clearly explains your take on a new method of flying.




Good Luck and be sure to post any questions or comments in this thread.


--------------------------------------

“Please don't keep everything secret, working on your image in private only to post it at the very last hour as a surprise. The point of sharing sketches and work in progress material is so everyone can learn from each other, receive crits, compliments and improve their skills in a classroom/workshop like environment. There are no teachers and no students per say, but try to offer help to others when possible. Please be open to receiving crits, and paint-overs or mock ups of your work, as we are all here to participate, have fun, learn, grow and enjoy what each week has to offer.” --Mike Corriero

Interesting challenge...coming up with a creature that serves justice to it's name by itself is quite challenging allready. I'll definitely take part in this

[LuisGomezGuzman]

[Ogi-G]

Luis has the right idea

Here are my sky crawlers.
Lightweight and small, riding the wind currents.

Hi everyone, playing around with the sky crawler idea, quite a fun topic to explore, currently going for the giant floating gas tank, will try a half machine version maybe, have fun everyone ~

PS. sorry about the size of the image,btw anyone know how I can reduce the size of the image and make it a "click to enlarge" type of image link?

[cyl1981]

Here is the latest update from me, the topic inspired me beyond this, and am glad to be enlightened, thanks once again ~

[Didzis]

It is a cool topic, if a little difficult to comprehend; something that crawls through the sky? I took this opportunity to use alchemy to come up with some random sketches, took the ones I liked and drew over a bit. Not sure yet which one I'll choose yet?

[Didzis]

When agitated, it descends from great heights, smashes into its victim and releases its noxious fart gas from its rear ventral sack, resulting in a quick death.

I decided to start my creature from a silhouette (which is still quite rough). It's the first time I take part in such a challenge so I'm a bit anxious .

[Canaan]
