Hi there !
Here is a concept sculpting of a creature that i design. The Swamp Dragon.
He has a broad tail for swiming, short legs to stay at low profile in shallow waters.He can’t fly, his wings are more for protection and to threaten any predadors or competition for territory or female.
He also have some small depressions in the lateral of his necks that serve for sense the eletro-magnetic field of his preys in the water.
I started with some 2d sketches, than i went for zbrush all the way ( sculpting, polypaint and render), final comp in photoshop.
Hope you like !
Cool creature design here. I think the colors are swamp appropriate, almost like a water moccasin.
Floydshayvious - thanks ! Glad you like it
Very nice sculpt. However, if only for presentation purposes, I think the rendering is a tad dark; too much of your great detailing is obscured.
kevphil - Thanks ! I will try another ligh here. Maybe fake some sss in photoshop. I will post a unpainted version of him to show better the model.

awesome creature. great texture as well.
mjolnir - thank you. I’m glad you like it
Wicked design, I like the blunt-object chunkiness of the body and head! Also love the character in his face. I’d almost like to see him with bulldog style legs too, wide-set and stiff!
bakedbeing- Thank you Very much ! I want him to have a compact design. i’m glad i managed that.
Really like the design and sculpt work…beautiful piece!
SolidSnakexxx - Thank you
