:iconv4m2c4:
the seserasinus jaculum live relatively solitary lives, floating about the atmosphere feeding on air born invertebrates and larva. Medium sized males out number the colossal females exponentially. This causes a massive switch in males during the mating season, causing them to become quite aggressive towards one another, so aggressive at times that cannibalism amongst males have been recorded. a female can become impregnated by multiple males throughout the mating season but males will actively protect their massive mates regardless. two oval sucker-like organs flank each side of its head. These are used to suction on canyon walls. females rarely roost, most of their lives are spent airborne, it is speculates that a female that roosts is close to death, as even the dispersal of eggs is done in the air.

Beautiful spec biology! Can you please define "medium sized" and "colossal"? :)

thanks! a female can grow exponentially, if left unharmed, but most reach the size of a blue whale before succumbing to disease, predation or death. This particular female is a rarity, one of the largest around. Most females wont reach her size, she was just "lucky" enough to have enough food to continue her growth. a male reaches 6ft.

How do you create the textures on the creature?

I think with this one I used a honeycomb style brush that I then modified to get other shapes.

hmmm. I think its all about having an interesting composition. I know one of my problems when coming up with an illustration, as opposed to a diagram drawing, is that I ALWAYS draw a profile of the creature, to show the whole body. But that isnt always the most interesting image, clear but not as enticing. I would try to play around the view point of your critter/characters. as for the rendering, I'm not the best at it, so im not sure if im the right person to learn from :/ BUT there are PLENTY of tutorials out there, even on DA. I hope that answers your question!

Just how big are the females, compared to that of an adult 6-foot human?

a female can grow exponentially, if left unharmed and or plagued with disease, but most reach the size of a blue whale
