rainbow rayby ~V4m2c4

Digital Art / Drawings / Sci-Fi

Like many of us AVATAR has to be one of my favorite films ever. Love it, hate it, space Pocahontas or not, the creature concepts were astounding and I would surely kill, maim or destroy who ever I have to in order to have a chance to be part of that production team. WOW HARSH MUCH?!

With that being said here is my speculative concepts to the next installment of the franchise.

The rainbow ray, not having any bone structure can virtually collapse/roll up into its light weight shell as a means of protection. Both males and Females produce the light weight shell but a female's shell will also house their eggs. A new shell will be produced throughout their lives as they will out grow them. Mainly feeding on microscopic prey they can be active hunters especially during the breeding season. The large orange organ houses vital organs, aid in detection of predator/prey and for sonar.

Oh it looks wonderful!

~V4m2c4 Aug 28, 2012

thank you! not as "ugly" as my usual designs but here it is!

~palaeorigamipete Aug 28, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Your designs aren't ugly! just otherworldly and that I think is their positive aspect!

This one looks peculiar actually! I have sketched something similar a while back, but I didn't post it, I did it only to practise perspective. It was meant to be generally soft-bodied creature with three pairs of triangular fins, and I did it in a pose with fins in alternating phase, the first and third pair were in a downstroke, the second pair was in an upstroke, it had a beak and a multitude of tiny eyes

thanks, I like to think of them as otherworldly too, but I've seen "ugly" used to describe them as well, so to each their own i guess. it's funny how people can imagine almost identical creatures. you should upload it

Okay! But I'll probably have to draw a cleaner version at first, what I have of this critter are a few really messy sketches

Also, I am sorry to announce this, but the harpypede is going badly, not much progress so far, I have solved the individual parts but I will yet have to find a way how to make it fit a square in a nice way. But I'm working on it, don't worry!

It maybe is that I have picked an unusual subject which I am not used to, and that causes the problems, but all problems have a solution!

I just wanted to inform you how things are going on with the harpypede.

~V4m2c4 Aug 29, 2012

I completely understand, I have dozens of mindless doodles unworthy of being shown just yet.

I am more than positive that you will conquer it. It is an unusual configuration to fold, but I've seen some of your work and it is only a matter of time before you figure it out. so keep on keepin on and you'll get it!!
