    Zundegrut- come say hello to it!

    I hope this creature is weirder than corn. It hisses too.

    Its a very cool design, and you did the spit very well. He looks nice and slobbery. I might consider adding a little more texture to his little legs, but no real crits besides that. The orange really stands out, makes him look alien, I like it, its bold.

    This is pretty cool all in all. I don't know if I would call it completely finished. The upper left hand (from viewer's perspective) looks pretty unfinished. Seems like it could use some texture here and there.

    Great creature though. Total oddball.

    i love the stark contrast of the fine antennae to the bulky body,i can almost feel them. the slobber along with the faces is also very well done.
    agree on the more-texture-for-legs comment.

    I agree with Carniflex, those antennae really bring it alive somehow. I could see this piece in amongst some creature concepts for a game.

    I'd also like to add that again your final sketch is awesome.

    Thanks Chijts. The antennae were actually a last second detail. I wasn't sure whether to call this thing an insect or a mutated slug. But hey, why not combine them both and call it even?

    Sketch looks better. The tone the line are good. The color make it feel flat. I think.

    Good point. Yea I was going for that cool muddied concept look. Still experimenting with technique. Next time I'll use more vibrant colors when appropriate.

    the only crit is that his lower right arm looks really short for me... I know its because the perspective, but just too different than the other one...

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what program are you using to color the image? Is that photoshop w/ a wacom tablet of some sort?

    Mr. m, thanks yea I should've dipped that hand to make his elbow come up or something.

    Audiodoc - I use Painter and a wacom. Photoshop is great but Painter's brushes are too good to pass up

    unconnected - This is when I need a hissing sound effect for the thread lol.

    Nice creature design man! I like the drawing better though.. i think the coloring could have some fixes (not the color themselves, more like finishing touches, like more details to his carpace, make him have a slimier look in some places, etc).

    Thanks man. Yea I was straying from my usual style here. Usually I'll go into super detail but I've always loved character renderings that are somewhat sketchy and unfinished. In this case, it hurt me a little. I'll work on that for the next one
