Default 3D Creature Planet #2, Xeemia


3D Creature Planet #2, Xeemia



Guidelines: For this challenge we will be focusing on the design of the Xeemia. Try to imagine how this creature might have evolved based on its living conditions. For this challenge, either a vertebrate or invertebrate design is fine. It’s up to you. Contestants will have 30 days to complete their design.

The deadline for this contest is Wednesday, October 20 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time [GMT-5].


Minimum requirements for final entry:
• Beauty, Front, Profile, and 3/4 render of the final piece
• No poly limit
• If you make a low poly model, be sure to get some shots of your wireframe. Texture maps/color and turntables are a plus.
• Have Fun!


***~We are thinking it would be beneficial to you as 3D artists if you were to use the 2D Creature Planets concepts instead of spending half of your time designing. This way you can spend all your time modeling and texturing and also giving the 2D artists the satisfaction of seeing their work in 3D. It’s up to you…~***


Here’s a link to their thread, please check them out and read the descriptions that some of the artists came up with!

Planet Notes:
Xeemia is a cold rocky world, perpetually covered in snow and ice. Large frozen seas cover sections of the planets southern hemisphere. Its northern hemisphere is covered by huge mountainous regions riddled with caves which have helped to form the gigantic ice stalagmites and stalagtites. It has no moons and was thought to be void of life until recently.

Gravity: 1.25 Earth
Climate: Ice/ Snow, Frigid
Dirt Color: Dull brown with grey rock

Bio Overview: Show your creature in its native environment of Xeemia; a planet covered in snow all year long, with harsh winds and rare sunlight. Life is very tough for all inhabitants, so plan out how your design (or use 2D Creature Planet concept) is able to survive these extreme colds.

Bio Notes:
Type: Arial, land , sea or underground... take your pick!
Habitat: Snow drift, Ice, Caves.
Social: Loners
Temperament: Aggressive.
Activity Cycle: Hibernating for long periods between meals.

Physiological Notes:
Size: any ( or use 2D Creature Planet concept)
Morphology: Symmetrical – bilateral
Skeletal: Either Vertebrate or Invertebrate (Your Choice)





The deadline for this contest is Wednesday, October 20th at 11:59 pm Eastern Time [GMT-5].

      Hello guys,

      Nice opportunity to learn fast and quick! I felt like trying even if im pretty new to zbrush.

      Nice work karmajf, very good start point as always!

      This creature i think will be snakelike that stays in a cave protected from the cold wind and the frozen temperature.
      It maybe uses some kind of technique to attract a pray. While awaits the creature takes a nap kkkk. It will also have some kind of sensor that makes the creature be alert with any possible prey or predator comes near by.

      The weakness of this creature is the mobility, it must wait for the prey and also stands up to face a predator!

      So time to make it up!!

      Thanks and good luck!

          A small update, i guess ill use this type of pose, kind like crouching ready to charge. and the concept its suffering some changes. As the background story of Scorge, he use two hearts and a manufacture of super heated blood through a process similar to nuclear fission. I was thinking some holes on the chest part aswell and a big where the hearts are supposed to be
