Buzzy - Snow Creature

Not much idea what I'm making yet. Ideas soon to follow. At least this time I'll get the full month (even though it is a short month).

I'm thinking of making an ice-crystal creature....I figure I could do some real cool shader effects with semi-translucent glowing crystals. I generally find quadrapeds to be rather uninteresting, but I haven't made one in a looooooong time, so I might go that route. And there will probably hair too. I think I will actually do concepting for this comp.... there's a first for everything, right?

so if crystals are like diamonds, and diamonds are a girl breast friend. This will be female, right?

Please tell me that was intentional.

sure it was.

An ice gorilla perhaps? Or a crystal snapping turtle....hmmmm. So many ideas.

Nice to see you in this challenge. Good luck.

An gorilla is really just a sasquatch/yeti isn't it? I'm liking the turtle personally. A shell made of ice would be pretty darn cool.

Buzzy · 03-02-2010, 12:34 PM

Good point about the gorilla warlock. That actually hadn't even crossed my mind. Haha.

Turtle it is.

Buzzy · 03-02-2010, 02:01 PM

threw together some reference.

Buzzy · 03-02-2010, 02:35 PM

...and a rough concept.
I will probably alter the proportions greatly, but this is just an idea of what I'm going to do.

setschaos · 03-02-2010, 03:35 PM

I like the snapping turtle look you are going for, try looking for images of the alligator snapping turtle, it's huge and scary looking! maybe you can find some more of what you are looking for there. (including some more open mouth pics)

Thanks setchaos! I am definately looking at reference of the alligator snapper. The black turtle on the right in my ref image is an alligator snapper.

Those pics you linked to are really great! Especially the closeup of his head.

McKronic · 03-02-2010, 07:59 PM

pretty solid concept. He's going to be tough, will he be aggressive or more defensive because of his shell?
