I'm in, too! My race is a lowly race, scavengers mainly. They are known as Squibs, but their proper name are Squibble. They are a small race, about the size of a basketball with a long trunk and snout at the end. They have no eyes and find their way around by the sense of smell only. Preferring moist, dank areas Squibs are dirty and the smell of sulfur oozes from their pores. They use this as their main defense. They feed mainly on bugs and vegetation.
I'll flesh out their story/background a little more and will post some concepts very soon! Woo Hoo! :bounce: :D

Ok. Here is my first rough sketch of the squibble. Color version to follow, then modeling. They have a tough, hard skin on top much like armor, kind of like an armadillo. Also a line of course hair down the middle that grows between the tough skin plates like a razorback would have. They grunt and squeal like hogs. Their mouth can't be seen from my drawing but it is just under the trunk. They suck their food against their snout and then place it in their mouth.

No one really knows where the squibble came from, or what purpose they really have. I believe the orcs and goblins find them to be quite the delicacy, though. :D

Hobbits have been known to grease them and chase them around as a contest at their festivals. :beer:

Thats really cool! :D:D Really unusual design!
When you texture them, you can make them really icky and disgusting :D

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. A lot of open sores and pores oozing fluids of disgust!:scream: :D :buttrock:

Ok. I've been away from the computer for a few days. Damn PS2 is the devil! :scream:

Anyway, here is the start of squibble. Trying to flesh out the body and neck area, and create a unique nose/snout. I'll be working on the legs next. :buttrock:

Ok. Still plugging along. I still need to add more detail, but it is getting close to texturing. Then I am going to take on the task of rigging my first character. I'll be using 3dsmax. Wish me luck!
