this is the head of a strange animal that's been running through my mind, it is highly inspired by a recent "after the dinosaurs" show I saw on TV (many others in the US caught it I assume) maybe i'll draw the rest soon,

btw this is the first serious drawing I've done with the wacom in a LONG LONG time I just could never get a hold of that *drawing on teflon* feel that a wacom gives me... so I only used it for touching up photos and doing textures for models... maybe from now on I'll get more done

I love creature design and weapons and such, but I have not been practicing at all, since all my art energy is spent at school doing life drawing and such... hopefully I'll get more time to do my own thang

It looks good. It would be interesting to make a body for it too. What are those scribbles and why is there some kind of navigator bar at the top? It's a little hard to comment on fantasy creatures but a thing that I noticed is this: The lateral eyes is typical of prey that has to spot its predators. While the fangs are usually a predatorial trait. Predators usually have their eyes fixed in a more frontal position (like us). Mayhap it's some kind of scavenger then?

it probably is a scavenger, infact I'm thinking more of a beast of burden, and the "fangs" are more like tusks, heh once they grow beyond a certain size they are usefull mostly for digging into things (earth, bark, ice) and for show, btw the reason this has a bar on top is cus it's a screenshot from paint-chat (kinda like a groupboard)

I'd like to see what paintchat's all about. Could you provide a link or something?

oh yah, of course, www.drawsomething.com
there's a small matter of a password, mail [email protected] and ask for it, it's not as crowded a chat as it used to be, but it's fun when there's a decent crowd going

thanks! Are you going to conclude the design of this creature? You never know, it might come in handy in the future

heh maybe, I'm a bit busy on the sides with graphics/websites/animation/design/many other things, I never get to draw!!
