its a scaled, warty, shiny amphibian.

which may be why I'm having trouble sticking to one critter.

I like yours, though...the part sticking out in front of the face - is that from the inside of the mouth, or the side jaws/tentacles (like a squid) ?

Hi all! Heres were im going with this topic, I know its not sliver or warty but i like the tropical feel of the creature.

[Didzis]

Stimpy, thats very cool!!

Keenir, ya, its some sort of probiscus coming out of its mouth

[lukasran]

my progress so far, can any of you guys tell me how to make the ground look more real/alive looks too flat to me.
going to do more on the creature but its going to stay with six unfortunately. any tips gratefully received.

cjordan that looks v nice

[Keenir2]

Stimpy, if I may suggest something? perhaps put the warts/bumps around the base of the spines. (ala stonefish)

ah; neat.

idle question, just wondering here...can the probosis go fully into the head, or is part of it always exposed to the air?

I can about imagine the thoughts of any rabbit placed next to that for a size comparison..."are you sure it won't eat me?"

atolls are not always the most mountainous of landforms. maybe look at images of brain coral and flattish volcanoes? they tend to be found around atolls, at least on Earth.

going to do more on the creature but its going to stay with six unfortunately.

well, nobody said all eight have to be for walking, if that helps any.

any tips gratefully received.

I like how it does look like one foot is gripping a leaf.

no rush; its just so you know - these things are easy to overlook.

[CJordan]

Oh yes, definitely going to do some warts and such. Just getting down the base of everything.

Nice job everyone. I'm looking forward to everyones' finals!

Here's a slight update from me... As soon as I finish the mouth piece and legs I'll move on to the serious detail work. x) This has been a fun challenge!

Awesome stuff so far! Here is my 3-4 hr sketch. It's face kinda looks like a tail haha, but I think that might be a nice defensive feature. Still gotta work out the flowers, and prob some more on the face.

LOL, I'm thinking the proboscis goes into it, when not in use.

I like it.
question - are you counting the jaw-blades as modified limbs?

[Keenir2]

my scanner is acting up...I'm taking it in for a check-up tomorrow; it may be about to die, though.

So, at the very least, I'm afraid I have to drop out of this round. sorry.

I wish everyone all success.

Always inspirational to see the various ideas forming, keep going guys ~

Say has any of you guys went to watch Transformers 3 yet? > <

[Daitengu]

Hi everyone

Here are just a few concept sketches for this creature. I had a pretty clear idea of how I wanted it to look from the beginning so theres not much change from drawing to drawing. Im still not really happy with the mouth but ill revisit that later. Now time to design some weird plants.
