Den Of The Pinata Dragon!

Strips of paper, sweeties and more,  
just follow the smell of candy, 

Don't forget all the loot that's in store, 
and keep your weapon handy!

It's boss time as our heroes find themselves face to face with the sneaky sweet-tooth - The Pinata Dragon! 

About a weeks worth of work from end to end, finding the right colours took quite a while. Lessons learned: Establish my flow, palette and composition right at the start!

Please enjoy responsibly.

  

Very bare bones line art when I scanned it in. Lines were primarily done digitally this time around.

The Gassypoof

Here's another creature concept! It's a mix between a pufferfish, a lobster, a spider and a jellyfish that I like to call a Gassypoof.

Found primarily in tropical climates, the stretchy membrane along its back inflates with naturally occurring gases which it uses to float off the ground. The toxic barbs along the surface serve as a deterrent for would be predators.

The Gassypoof shoots out jets of gas to control its movements mid-air and drags its tentacles along the ground to search for and paralyze potential prey.

Evilpaca - The Demon Bunchie

I thought I might try my hand at creature design so I came up with a kind of evil alpaca, spawned from pained and tormented souls. 

It wears a mask, which is really just a muzzle for the little mandibles which augment its weak humanoid teeth. With its flesh melded to heavy, restrictive armor barely supported by its tiny hooves, the Evilpaca exists as a form of punishment for an unfortunate denizen of the Underworld.

Mysteries Of The Item Shop!

 Have you ever wondered why item shops tend to buy anything, including obscure monster bits? Or why shopkeepers feel the need to charge heroes even though they're tasked with saving the shop/town/world?

These are just a few of the mysterious mysteries that abound in the humble item shop! Please enjoy responsibly.

And for those workflow connoisseurs..

Anatomy Studies!

I've been working on some rough anatomy modelling this week. Planning to do some intensive foundational studies next week to see what I come up with.
