Wormoids

2011-08-01T23:21:00.000-07:00

Inspired from 'Graboids' and 'Sandworms',this is my new creature concept called 'Wormoids' aka 'Wormosaurs'.

Creature entirely differs from the characteristics and appearance from both.
Wormoids is also blind creatures which lives in beneath the ground and hunt by sensing seismic vibrations produced by sounds and movements by the prey.Unlike 'Graboids', Wormoids has the ability to differentiate edible and inedible things with its smell.Yes 'Wormoids' can smell in open surface.

Here i am including some rough concepts showing some Characteristics of the creature.

Deathvayler

2011-07-27T01:07:00.000-07:00

Originally created for DA 'RIFT Create a colossus contest' based on six planer themes.

Name : Death Vayler

Concept :

Deathvayler is a demon who possesses the power of 'Hellfire' .One who wins the deathvayler is said to be that winning the Death itself.
Deathvayler's body is embed with tentacles which has the ability to spit hellfire.He constantly beats the ground with his giant tentacles.He/She (heroic character) should dodge these Deathvayler attacks.This often makes Deathvayler tired, which leads to opportunity for opponent to hit on its weak spot.

The Kraken Wakes

2010-09-25T20:47:00.000-07:00

Below the thunders of the upper deep;

Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,

His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep

The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee

About his shadowy sides; above him swell

Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;

And far away into the sickly light,

From many a wondrous grot and secret cell

Unnumber'd and enormous polypi

Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.

There hath he lain for ages, and will lie

Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep,

Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;

Then once by man and angels to be seen,

In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

- by Tennyson

What if the mythological creature rises in the modern world.Could we have a chance ...?

" The Kraken Wakes " Won CG Arena Excellence award ,which was included in their 2D images gallery.
