Welcome to the Creature Planets, the CG HUB challenge of exploring species beyond our own!

Topic #38 :: April 11th 2011
Creature: Gallacrag
Category: Space

Deadline: Tuesday April 26th 2011- 11:59p.m. [PST]

On a trip to Bomor to study the Scinos, IWCA has stumbled upon a true marvel that has never been discovered, or imagined for that fact. As the ship was coming out of warp speed, it ended up in an asteroid field which shouldn't have been in that sector to begin with. To their astonishment, the asteroid field was actually not an asteroid field, but a group of living creatures that somehow evolved to exist in the cold vacuum of space. And that is when the name Gallacrag was born, the wandering rock.

Guidelines: Your task is to portray the group of Gallacrag along with a complete background. Keep in mind that these creatures are massive and at a distant glance, they look like asteroids. Enjoy!

“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

I'm going to attempt this one but I have no idea what my schedule will bring.. I can only hope to finish =)

Sorry the images are so big

Ref

Scribbles of the creature:

There's only a few I like out of the set (unfortunately a lot have the same silhouette) so I'll probably do some more variations when I get a chance..

Didzis · 04-13-2011, 06:38 AM

That's a great beginning. Thanks for posting all the photo ref as well!!

Hi all, this it what i have so fare, still working on other ideas.

This is a silicone based life, it uses those slate like crystal formations
on its back to capture solar energy (UV, Photons, nutrons, gamma, alpha, Beta ect). it stores and proceses the energy for propulsion and food.
It propels itself using a type of bio-plasma thruster, and for braking up the odd astroid for minerals and silicates it needs in conjuction with the solor energy.

still working out its reproduction and trying to work out the internal anatomy of this lifeform.

all crits are welcome.

wallasaurus · 04-16-2011, 11:17 AM

I'll try to get a routine to do these again. I am out of practise.

Stimpy · 03:44 PM

Here are some more ideas for this topic.

let me know what you think, and should i go with my first post more or this one?

Didzis · 04-16-2011, 09:43 PM

Stimpy, I like your current one, I think it's very good!! I like how you put thought into its propulsion and other aspects.

Mine is kinda of a giant scarab burrowed into an asteroid and fused with it. It gets around with the gian limbs emitting anti matter particles

. Uses it's upper mandables to break apart asteroids and other food items, and other stuff for food gathering.

skyfall · 04-17-2011, 02:43 PM

Didzis · 04-18-2011, 08:31 AM

Stimpy · 04-26-2011, 01:22 PM
